Featured Help with unopened Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

If the sticker with 9 89 on it is the original price (in USD) tag, that would be about right for 2 stereo records at the time this one came out.

 

I normally play dumb on this type of thing. The people who know what they're looking for would sniff this out in a second. Auctions [for Beatles memorabilia] typically seek their own level since there is such a large collector's market.

Maybe just add a question mark at the end. From a listing that *looks* like yours that sold for $1K on eBay: "The Beatles/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Sealed U.S. 1967 Original Pres?"

Like most, I never want to leave money on the table, but most of what I buy, I spend pennies on the dollar. So, I normally just throw stuff out for a low starting auction and hope for the best. Your mileage may vary.

Good luck.

 

It has smas-2653 on the top right of the back cover

so does my Canadian version........& no...do not open !!

 

2 ... what..2.....
it's only one record.........with 2 sides !!

 

Sorry. Wasn't thinking carefully. It's the gate fold cover throwing me off. When the Beatles first hit America, think albums in mono were 2.98, stereo a dollar more. Still think if that's the price, it's an earlier issue, although possibly not the original.

 

I'm wondering who would buy this new hot off the press.....AND NOT PLAY IT !!!

 

my Meet the Beatles..T2047...made in USA....is high fidelity ......

 

I was buying vinyl in the late 60s but those brain cells got torched! So I have no clue. See this:

You've probably seen this but the last one on this page refers to a "NEMS / MACLEN" print variation, which does appear in the lower right of the back of yours also.

I have a copy of Sgt. Pepper's, played to death so not worth anything, that doesn't have that.

 

when I was still colecting and reselling - taste changes - the Goldmine Priceguide was a good lead to give you a first idea. perhaps available in a public library near you ?

 

Neat, in looking at Figtree link, it's worth $1250. isn't it? Quite a score i'd say.

 

Hi,
I have an old one sided record not vinyl that says test Joan Crawford singing Aida. I always thought it was a fake, now I am not so sure. Has anyone heard of this?
greg

 

No, not exactly but, I'll take your word for it! There's always a catch!

 

Didn't catch that. What do the initials mean and what is the difference?

 

Oh, does the S stand for Stereo? I see some of those on the same site and are listed for less. http://www.fab4collectibles.com/cap-first-Beatles-SgtPeppers-stereo.htm

[EDIT] Yes, I see this page says the "S" is for "stereo." in the "Cracking the Code" section: http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/beatles/capitol.html

My old one is MAS. You learn something new every day!

 

Joan didn't sing as far as I know. She DID however use products by someone named Aida Grey, who made skin care stuff. Maybe that's the connection? A skin care commercial?
