Vinyl: BEATLES Sgt Pepper's LP 1967 STEREO 1st Press + INSERT! FACTORY SAMPLE! BRILLIANT EXAMPLE! 100% COMPLETE! UPSIDE DOWN TAX!

Hello! Please note, that this auction will end on late Tuesday January 2nd UK time. Of course, I usually end my auctions on Sundays. However, as this coming Sunday falls on News Years Eve in the UK this is impossible. I do NOT stop for the Christmas period, and will be listing some truly INCREDIBLE items! In fact, most of my listings over the Christmas period have all come from one AMAZING collection, and are the BEST and RAREST items I have seen for a very VERY long time. So don't forget to check back before Tuesday January 2nd UK time - to see some the BEST ITEMS I have EVER listed! Please read on about this AMAZING item below, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid:-

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" and is an ORIGINAL 1967 UK STEREO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEATLES RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS INSERT AND 'RED/WHITE' INNER SLEEVE (NEARLY ALWAYS MISSING!)!!!!

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING (AND IS 100% GENIUNE - COMING FROM THE SAME COLLECTION OF OTHER 'FACTORY SAMPLES' I ALSO HAVE LISTED THIS WEEK!)!!!! AND AGAIN, THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / PARLOPHONE THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!! 'FACTORY SAMPLES' WERE NEARLY ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - AND ARE TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO FIND TODAY, AS BARELY ANY EXIST!!!! BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!!

HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE VERY STRANGE DETAIL ABOUT THIS FACTORY SAMPLE!!!! IT CAME FROM AN EX RECORD PRODUCER AND A 100% VERIFIED SOURCE. AND FROM THE SAME SOURCE CAME THE REVOLVER LP I AM ALSO LISTING. AND YET - JUST LIKE THAT LP, IT HAS A VERY STRANGE VARIATION I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!! AND THAT IS THAT, BOTH LABELS HAVE A TAX CODING - ONE OF WHICH IS UPSIDE DOWN!!!! ON 1 LABEL THERE IS THE USUAL VERY PROMINENT 'KT TAX CODE STANDING PROUDLY ON THE CENTRE OF THE LABEL (AS IS NORMAL ON 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP). AND YET IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE ON THE OTHER LABEL (AGAIN WHERE IT SHOULD BE NEXT TO THE CENTRE HOLE) A MUCH FAINTER & VERY STRANGE 'K' AND UPSIDE DOWN 'T' ON THE OTHER LABEL!!!! IN OTHER WORDS THE 'K' IS THE CORRECT WAY UP AND THE 'T' IS UPSIDE DOWN!!!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS VARIATION BEFORE - AND YET BOTH 'FACTORY SAMPLES' FROM EXACTLY THE SAME VERFIED SOURCE HAVE IT!!!! IT IS VERY RARE INDEED TO FIND BOTH LABELS WITH A 'KT' TAX CODING (USUALLY IT IS JUST ONE!) - ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THE LETTERS IS UPSIDE DOWN!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1967 UK STEREO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS 'YELLOW & BLACK' PARLOPHONE LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' LABEL EDGE TEXT, 1ST PRESS 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT, 1ST PRESS 'KT' LABEL TAX CODE (UPSIDE DOWN ON 1 SIDE!), 1ST PRESS 1/1 STEREO MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS 'RED/WHITE' INNER SLEEVE, 1ST PRESS 'CUT-OUT' INSERT, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK FULLY LAMINATED MONO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Parlophone UK 1st Pressing from 1967 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl!!!! The Cat. No is PCS 7027 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO stickers, NO tears, NO annotations, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 1 TINY hairline, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! It plays with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks on 1 track (from the TINY hairline mentioned above), NO skips, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound in places!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! THOUGH ESSENTIALLY THIS IS A STUNNING LOOKING MINT RECORD - WITH ONLY 1 TINY HAIRLINE STOPPING IT ATTAINING THAT GRADING!!!! BRILLIANT RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Red/White' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! THE ULTRA RARE 'CUT-OUT' INSERT IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASNT EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!! The ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback FULLY Laminated MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, barely ANY spinal wear (Side words still ALL perfectly readable!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the laminated inside of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, STUNNING flipbacks, VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
