Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

(with cutouts insert and psychedelic inner sleeve)

FROM THE COLLECTION OF CHICAGO DJ LESTER "LEN" MILLER

Released on the Capitol record label in 1967 The record number is: MAS 2653 in mono I play graded this record... it is in VG to VG+ condition. A solid play with some typical crackle from play. The crackle is most noticeable on:"She's Leaving Home" and "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite"This is the Capital "rainbow" label on that old heavy vinyl which produces much fuller sound.The labels are in beautiful condition with no wear and no spindle hole wear. The gatefold cover is in excellent condition overall. There are NO split seams or excessive cover wear.It has a name written on the top left corner of the back cover and on the top left of the inside gatefold cover... The album cover coloration is excellent... (please see pictures for up-close details)

The cover does not have "NEMS" anywhere on the back cover.  "A Little Help from My Friends" title (no "With") on the label (the song title is "With a Little...," originally misprinted on both the label and back cover--corrected on later labels--cover graphics were never corrected,) beautiful gatefold cover, psychedelic album sleeve and original insert of cut-outs.  It is all here. 

This is not only the first pressing, but it is the mono version, which is the original intended recording.  Mono recordings are mixed differently than stereo in the studio, and they can be a very different adventure. I'll give you a list of sonic differences one reviewer noted when listening to the mono version of Sgt. Pepper's:  

The funky backwards guitar part at the end of the opening song just before "Billy Shears."

The flangey/ADT effect on Ringo's voice during some chorus of "With A Little Help From My Friends."

The tripped out flangey vocals from the second verse out on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

The slightly longer end of "Fixing A Hole" where McCartney is wailing up high.

The change in tone in "She's leaving home" in the mono version - due to being sped up, not so dreary and long as in the stereo version.

The timing on the effects of "Mr. Kite."

The extended louder laughter on "Within You Without You."

The louder backing "oo-oo's" on "When I'm 64".

The "bleed edit" found at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise"; you can hear the machine flutter as it comes out of pause.

The low volume mumbo jumbo during the extended bass drum raps at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise".

The timing of the audiences are different on the "Reprise" section.

Paul McCartney ad libbing at the end. Paul sounds like he is saying "Thank you very much good night now..." or "bye bye now".
