I just got one of the 2012 Beatles Boxed Sets, the stereo version, and my copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band did not have the Lock Groove at the end of the record, though I have read online that it is supposed to. Does anybody else have this problem, or an explanation, perhaps?

Alright, so I'm new here, so if I'm not supposed to post this here, I'm really sorry. But anyways, I got a Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band vinyl album, and I'm having trouble identifying which press it is. There's a code on the top right of the back that reads 'PCP 7027'. It's also an LP. I've looked on Discogs, but nothing there perfectly matches up with the album cover and vinyl. It says it's printed by Garrod and Lofthouse, and the Parlophone and EMI labels are displayed on the back cover. If you open the cover there's the popular picture of all four Beatles with their Sgt. Pepper outfits in front of a yellow background. It also has a cardboard cutout sheet with Sgt. Pepper on it. The record itself has two EMI boxed labels, and is silver and black. On side one it says YEX. 637, and on side 2 it says YEX. 638. The writing around it starts with EMI Records Ltd. At the bottom, under all of the songs it says 'Northern Songs. NCB' on both sides. In the dead wax, on side 1, in counterclockwise direction, it reads YEX 637-3 CH HTM 3 On side 2, in counterclockwise direction, it reads YEX 638-3 HTM TR 3 Which pressing is this? I'm pretty sure it's from 1973, but that's all I could find out for sure.
