The BEATLES

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Lp

1967 Capitol Records
SMAS 2653

This is probably the purple label Capitol Records mid 1970's pressing.  Non-pasted on gatefold cover. 

Spine has Capitol 2653 without the SMAS pre-fix.

Standard Capitol promo hole punch in cover (later pressing promos used the gold stamping).

This pressing was re-issued to capitalize on the Sgt. Pepper movie with The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton.  sigh...

Hey, it's still over 40+ years old.

We have been professionally selling records for over 40 years.  We love what we do.  We show you pictures that are as clear as possible for you to make an informed decision.  We also know what is rare and what isn't.  We try to make our prices fair and honest.  And most of all affordable.  We try to get the absolute best versions of records we sell. 


If you've read this far I need to make a slight rant after 16 years on eBay.  I buy some records for my own collection on eBay.  I know what I like to see when it arrives.  First, was the grading consistent with the auction.  Was it packed well?  Was it shipped in an expedient manner?   Did they even TRY to clean the record before shipping?  One seller, who sent a "dirty" album even included a note on "how to clean vinyl records".

We want to make your buying experience as effortless as possible.  We carefully inspect every record as closely as we can.  We buy a LOT of collections and once, or twice, we've missed a tic in a record.  We aren't perfect, but we try to be. 

If I see a seller holding up the vinyl with his fingers to take a picture of it.  I move on.  If I see a cover with no record label showing.  I move on.  If I see a seller saying that "they aren't a grader and to see the single out of focus picture for grade".  I move on.  If I see only one line as their entire description say: "See picture for details".  I move on.  And finally...If I see a seller using VINTAGE VINYLS...I move on (Madonna albums are not VINTAGE and vinyl is the singular and plural of vinyl).
