Description
A great opportunity to buy a RARE FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP from the 1960s by The Beatles called "Revolver".
This is a U.K. pressing released in 1966 on the Parlophone label (PMC 7009) (mono) and has 14 tracks (see photos for track listings).
The matrix numbers in the dead wax are:- XEX 605-2 (side one) and XEX 606-1 (side two), which makes it a FIRST PRESSING with the short-lived "Remix 11" version of "Tomorrow Never Knows", which was swiftly WITHDRAWN and replaced with the second pressing using the "Remix 8" version.
The mother stamper codes next to the labels at 3 o'clock appear to be RM (side one) and OR (side two). The Tax Codes K and T are embossed on the centre of the side one label.
The vinyl is in a clean and shiny VERY GOOD condition. I always examine and grade records under a bright table lamp and there are many light surface marks evident, but nothing at all serious and they certainly do not affect the playing of the vinyl. I have played the whole of both sides and they play fine and sound EXCELLENT. Overall the sound quality is a great example of mid 60s mono recordings, having that wonderful depth, which is sadly missing in later stereo pressings.
The labels are clean and free from any writing, stickers or major defects. Side two has a very small scratch mark to the left of “The Beatles”. There are spindle marks on the centre of the labels, noticeable when tilted towards the light. The title of the track "Dr Robert", is abbreviated on the label and the cover. Later pressings print it as "Doctor Robert".
The record is flat and has no warps of any description.
The record is housed within its original plain white inner sleeve with "Patents Applied For" printed in the bottom corner (see photo). It is in a VERY GOOD condition, but with some creasing in places.
The Ernest J. Day & Co Ltd front-laminated picture cover is in a lovely clean and shiny VERY GOOD condition. The edges, corners and spine are very strong and the printing on the spine is clearly readable (see photo). The back cover has a small surface tear on the top flipback, otherwise it has been well preserved over the years. There is just some light discolouring along the front, close to the spine.
This is a highly collectable Beatles LP and should be of interest to avid collectors.
