PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
INSANELY RARE Jay Maynard mastered Jacksonville gatefold pressing from 1983 on Capitol's colorband/rainbow label pressed on BROWN TRANSLUCENT VINYL with no STEREO text in the white banner at the top on the front cover and "1967 NEMS..." credit printed vertically on the rear cover at the bottom near the spine and original rigid card stock cut-out sheet insert with unique SMAS 2653 catalog number text in the bottom left hand corner above PRINTED IN U.S.A. text exclusive to this pressing!!! LP looks cool as hell when held up to a light. Vinyl is VG+ with a few light scuffs on side 2. Cover is easily VG+, close to VG++, with some light foxing on the top edge. I have had well over 100 copies of Sgt. Pepper's pass through my hands in my 45 years of collecting and selling and this is the ONLY translucent vinyl pressing I have ever seen. Don't sleep Fab collectors. If you've never seen it before you won't see it again.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~
MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED
VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL
