The album title appears as "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" on cover front & spine, but as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on labels.
A2 appears as "A Little Help From My Friends" on cover, but as "With A Little Help From My Friends" on label.
Side B runout contains an unintelligible vocal recording loop at the very end.

Runouts are stamped. (Variant 3, side B runout figures at 9 o'clock are very difficult to identify, having been stamped then overstamped.)

Durations were found and entered by timing every track of a copy of this exact release by stopwatch.

1st June 1967 as date of release of this album is stated on the official Beatles website (thebeatles.com).

    Hello,

    Another boring "what is my version" question/ "here's another version" post...
    Xex 637-1 MMA
    Xex 638-1 MRM

    I am cataloguing mine under this version as it seems the one with the closest matrix/stampers.

      Hello,
      I have interesting Quest.
      I haven't traced my version because it has no N.C.B. logo on the labels. If anyone has any knowledge about this pressing, it would be amazing!
      I've asked many Beatles and record experts what pressing this could be, but I haven't received an answer. No one has seen anything similar before.

      Kindly,
      Jazzbull from Finland

        I have a 1987 CD which has an apple records logo under the parlophone logo. i cant find it on here, anyone know what version it is?

          Hi, I'm going a bit nuts trying to track down my version. In the runout on Side 1 it has: SMAS-1-2653-B-19 and a
          * motif isolated further away. On Side 2 there is: SMAS-2-2653-B-19 although it could be B-11 because the upper part making the 9 is very faint. There also seems to be a dot after the 9 but that could be an imperfection. Can anyone help please?

              Hello everyone! I just bought a mint copy of this famous sgt peppers... i'ts a UK pressing (PMC 7027 Mono), gatefold with the rose record sleeve
              but the two record labels (black with PARLOPHONE in yellow) on each side are "side 2 (xex.838)", beginning by within you without you.
              Happily, It's correctly pressed, and plays both real sides and all the tracks
              I can't see this misprint on all the references listed above
              does someone know this reference?

              first post on discogs, sorry for my english ;-)
              hope to hear from you from Liège, Belgium

                  I always thought the laughing and speaking at the end was a cd bonus but its on my ik mono too
                  Do all versions have this at the end?
