Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - Your opinion

Hi all,

I would like to ask some advice from the community here, I recently came across a "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" LP, original from 1967 portuguese pressing, I talked with the guy that is selling it and he's willing to sell it for 25 Euros (something like 36 US Dollars) the guy told me the back cover has a very small signature on the back and a very slight rip on the cardboard other than that it's good - the Vinyl however it's in a very good condition - I know how much the Pepper's is worth in a good condition so my question is, do you think it's a fair price given the observations on the cover?

Thanks

David

I think its not a bad price if its the first pressing and the vinyl sounds the way it has to be. Btw I have been looking for this pressing you're talking about and I can't find it.

I suggest you a website with a lot of information about vinyls, pressings, prices etc: http://www.discogs.com/

I looked in this website and many others for your pressing and I didnt find it

Not saying it doesnt exist LOL but is strange I couldn't find it.

Cheers and good luck with it

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I had already searched for it on Discogs before but it's not available, The Beatles records were distributed in Portugal by EMI. I do think the price is a good one, I was just doubting about the signature and rip thing.I will let you know in one week when I'll meet the guy for the trading. Thanks

I think this fact is like "personal" you know. For example I have some vinyls with signatures or some rips too and I dont care about it if the vinyl is in a good condition buuut I am sure there are a lot of ppl who want the vinyl, sleeve and box and everything in a good condition you know. I mean I wouldnt buy a vinyl with the box or sleeve totally broken but you know what I mean :)

I think it also says the reason you want your vinyls you know. I dont care if some of my vinyls have any detail in the box or back or whatever (well depends of what kind of details but thats another thing LOL). I want my vinyls for me, not for selling or whatever so I want my vinyl in a good condition, sleeve or box are not the most important thing for me.

Sooo if you want your vinyls for yourself to listen and collect like I do, its a good price. If you dont buy it, man send me that guy email or whatever LOL :)

I know what you mean, I do have a nice collection so far, and some comes with those signature details, doesn't really bothers me too much, but obviously I prefer to have a slight rip on the box rather than a signature. I'll post the photos in here soon as I get the record, the seller showed me some low quality photos

Hi, I went to pick the record today. It is indeed a portuguese stereo pressing pretty similar to the British one with the difference of having the information of the Portuguese distribution company "Valentim De Carvalho" on the bottom right, and points to 1967 for the information i was able to gather. The record it's in excelent condition, no scratches and plays really well,the label is also similar to the original British one, yellow and black Parlophone, the gatefold cover aside of a small signature on the back and the spine having a small rip on it (that can be fixed) it's on a really good condition aswell, no record marks on the back or any other damages on on it. Overall I am satisfied with it, the only thing that upsets me is that the inserts are missing.
