Description

The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Album Cover Production Material (Capitol, 1970s). Arguably their most important album, the Beatles' "Sgt. Peppers" disc remains a favorite for many fans today. This unusual lot includes a full set of four-color film negatives used by Capitol Records to print the front, back, and inside covers, as well as the special cut-out insert included with the album. These come from a later, 1970s-era pressing of the album, and were probably rejected due to the fact that some lines of type were accidentally partially blocked out on the back cover. However, the interior and front cover separations match the printed album perfectly. Also included are a color slick of the interior cover, showing the four Beatles in their Pepper outfits against a bright yellow background, plus a proof print of this image pulled from the four negatives, which has been matted to an overall size of 29.5" x 17". Also included is a proof of the Cut-Out insert. There are 16 pieces of film, plus the three interior prints, all of which are in Very Good+ to Excellent condition.
