FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original was released in 1967. This is a 1980 German reissue on Apple/EMI Electrola with catalogue number 1C 072-04 177, in stereo and in a gatefold sleeve.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
Record: NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. Sleeve: VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or the overall impression. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

What is the sound in the run-out groove?
At the end of side B, after "A Day In The Life", a short untitled sound snippet sits in the run-out groove ("Sgt. Pepper's Inner Groove"); it is present on this pressing too.

Do you have more Beatles records?
Yes, for example The Beatles (White Album), Abbey Road or Magical Mystery Tour. More titles are in our Rock collection.
