    Curious about my copy of this one, hopefully someone can answer.
    Side 1: YEX 637 - 1 GAL 2
    Side 2: YEX 638 - 1 GRR 1
    Besides the last number on side 2, my copy matches exactly variant 5 of this entry. Also, I don't know if it's because of my turntable or condition of my copy, but the inner groove doesn't lock and keeps on going.
    Anyone please let me know if you have a similar copy. Thanks.

      My copy has the "KT" stamp.
      Side 1 = "YEX 637-1 GDL 3"
      Side 2 = "YEX 638-1 GGM 33"
      But the label has an extra dot in "SOLD IN.U.K."
      Can someone tell me if this is the pressing I have? Or if it's a different one? I can't seem to find the right one. Thanks.

          There's so much dribble written about the stereo 1st press Vs the mono 1st. By people who have never owned either in decent condition. The stereo first press is astonishing! The mono is great too! Neither sounds better than the other - just different. HOWEVER if I had to choose I'd keep the stereo. Why? Because it actually sounds more like the revolutionary album Sgt Pepper is claimed to be. The sonics are way beyond any other pop/rock album released up to that point. AND...there is no hard panning on the first press! Later issues may have but not this one. Rarer than the mono issue too. Save up for a decent copy. It will blow your mind!

            Proudly own a very clean -1/-1 copy. Listening to this, I still think mono is the way to go for this album. It’s hard to listen to this album in stereo, as you’d want the effects on Mr. Kite to pan from left to right, instead of staying in one channel. I will say, She’s Leaving Home and When I’m Sixty Four both strongly benefit from being in stereo. Cutting wise, I’m happy with this record. Have never heard an MFSL, and will never get to see the light of day in which I can hear a Nimbus or a UHQR, but this -1 cut is fine. Vocals are clear but the drums suffer from the typical early 60s harshness. Its present on every 60s Beatles stereo record I own, and is generally the reason why I prefer reissues. Looking past that, Within You Without You has never sounded better. I do like the new Remix because of the better soundstage, but this has been around longer and is more familiar to everyone, so I can recommend this.

                Hi. I have a copy stamped YEX637-1 but it is stamped HL. I don’t seem to be able to find this version/variant anywhere?
                Can anyone help?

                  My copy is stamped ''YEX 637-5'' on Side 1 & ''YEX 637-4'' on Side 2. I can't find this version, can someone please assist?
                  Parlophone, 1967, UK, Stereo.
                  Thanks a lot.

                    If this is different to The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (so-called wide spine version), can someone a photo of the spine to show that it is a narrower spine?
