Vinyl: BEATLES LP SGT PEPPER. RARE MONO DECCA PRESSING. DECCA PRESSING. DECCA ! UK GROOVED RING LABEL * NO STAMPERS * DECCA PRESSING

THE BEATLES- 'SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND' UK MONO ORIGINAL - PRESSED BY DECCA!!! VERY RARE INDEED!!!

Starting on auction here is a HUGELY RAREBeatles record, possibly one of only a VERY limited number to exist, a MONO DECCA PRESSING of the Beatles most influential and important albums from 1967, SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND!!! Decca contract pressings are characterised by the circular groove that is indented 1.3cm from the perimeter of the outside of the label, and by the fact that there are NO stamper letters at the 3 O CLOCK clock position to the matrix number. This particular copy of Sgt Peppers bears the Decca circular indentation on BOTH sides of the label (NOT the raised groove that some UK Beatles LP labels have on one side) and bears NO STAMPER LETTERS OR NUMBERS AT 3 O CLOCK TO THE MATRIX NUMBER!!!ONLY CONTRACT PRESSINGS HAVE NO STAMPER LETTERS AT THIS POSITION!!! The only two things present on BOTH sides of the run out groove of this record is the matrix number and the 9 o'clock MOTHER stampers- the matrix numbers are as follows; side one: XEX 637-1 and side two- XEX 638-1, the mother stampers (9 o clock to the matrix numbers) side one showing a '2' and side two showing a '7'. All wording on the label is exactly the same as a normal first pressing.

These pressings have been accounted for in certain titles from the Beatles catalogue, perhaps the most well known of these was is in their first two albums, (Please Please me, and With The Beatles) and in very rare export issues (The Beatles, Abbey Road, Let it be), BUT NEVER HAS SUCH A PRESSING EVEN BEEN DOCUMENTED OR ACCOUNTED FOR IN THIS ALBUM!!

The condition of the record is certainly showing that it has been well used, however is still in respectable condition. there are a lot of spindle marks, however there are no stickers/names with no significant wear to the spindle itself, and are overall in good satisfactory condition with no fading, perhaps a grading of VG+, on both labels. The record surface itself is showing numerous light markings, mostly faint style hairlines (which are only visible under extremely bright light) with a couple that are more prominent, but are not apparent when touched. A grading of GOOD to both sides for the visual condition of the surface of the record would apply, however the play is better than this perhaps grading as VERY GOOD overall. I didnt find and jumps or skips. It seems to play reasonably quietly throughout.

The main sleeve is its correct Laminated Garrod & Lofthouse parlophone gatefold flipback sleeve, and is grading as being in VERY GOOD condition. Some of the usual general age wear showing, but nothing severe at all, rubbing to the corners and very slight fading perhaps, but is all in all solid with NO tears/ splits etc. No pen marks

I'm afraid this does not come with original inner and insert but these can be obtained from other albums as they were all identical and not unique to the albums.

Overall this may not be a mint record, but is an EXTREMELY RARE and HIGHLY UNIQUE pressing of this album, - REMEMBER this could be the ONLY opportunity to own such a MASSIVELY rare Beatles lp as this, Decca pressings in this album are basically completely UNHEARD of in this album!!!! Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!!!
