Description
The Beatles - Revolver
I am pleased to offer for sale this superb UK stereo 1st pressing of The Beatles seventh studio album, Revolver.
Album Details:
Serial number: PCS 7009
Matrix number: YEX 605 - 1 / YEX 606 - 1
Stamper codes: 1 HA / 2 OT
Tax Codes: KT
Vinyl Weight: 165g
The -1 / -1 matrix numbers confirm that the record is a true UK first pressing. The mother & stamper codes communicate that the record was produced early in the production run. Consequently, the audio reproduction is fantastic. Take a listen yourself below!
The black labels with yellow Parlophone logo and silver text are the second variant as is evident from the correct spelling of T4 S2, "Doctor Robert". This was incorrectly titled, "Dr. Robert", on the first variant.
The original Garrod & Lofthouse front-side laminated flip-back sleeve is the first variant as is evident from the incorrect spelling of T4 S2, "Dr. Robert", on the tracklist present on the rear of the sleeve.
The album is complete with the original plain white "patents pending" inner sleeve.
Condition Report:
In addition to my own conservative grading, I include high-quality, comprehensive photographs as well as a complete audio recording in my listings to enable you to make an informed decision on the condition of this record yourself.
Disc: EXCELLENT
Labels: EXCELLENT
The labels are clean and retain rich, vibrant colours. A small number of dull spindle trails can be seen around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT + / EXCELLENT -
Please note: the eBay app does not facilitate playback. Please use the internet site to enjoy the audio clips.
Side 1:
Side 2:
As can be heard in the recordings, the record sounds great. I have given a split grading as the audio on side 1 is noticeably better than side 2. During the lead-in and in between the first three tracks of side 2 there is audible background noise. The remaining songs on side 2 as well as all of side 1 are a strong EX. There is great channel separation, the bass is punchy, the vocals are clear.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original inner sleeve is in great condition. It is very clean and displays only mild creasing.
Additional Details:
Before the audio test, the vinyl was cleaned first by an Okki Nokki vacuum cleaner and then an Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner.
After cleaning, the vinyl was placed inside a brand new mobile fidelity anti-static inner sleeve.
The vinyl will be packaged outside of the sleeve, both of which are stored inside an archival quality polypropylene outer sleeve.
The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
