THE BEATLES
Revolver

Extremely Rare Mono 1st Press with XEX 606-1 Matrix!

This auction is for a rare original 1st pressing of the Beatles legendary LP 'Revolver' on the Parlophone label. This is the mega rare early variation that features the XEX 606-1 matrix in the side 2 deadwax!

When the LP was initially put into production, side 2 had a matrix number of 606-1 and 'Remix 11' of the song 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. The story goes that when the first albums were pressed each Beatle was given a copy to listen to. John listened to his and was unhappy with the track Tomorrow Never Knows and quickly told George Martin. Production was stopped as a new master was prepared with 'Remix 8' of the song being used in replacement, and given the matrix XEX 606-2

These 606-1 presses were only in production for a very, very short amount of time before the mix of TNK was changed. Today they are highly collectible and a must for all Beatle collections!

Please note that this copy is not in the best condition and should be considered a collection filler only!

Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:

MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
