Description
THIS IS A VERY RARE MONO 1ST PRESSING OF REVOLVER
STAMPED WITH THE MOTHER CODES 1GA AND 1GT INDICATE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST COPIES TO BE PRINTED
THE LABEL CODES ARE XEX 605/6 AND CONTAINS THE MIS-PRINT OF DR. ROBERT AND ALSO THE WITHDRAWN VERSION OF 'TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS'
RUMOUR HAS IT THAT JOHN LENNON STOPPED THE PRESSING OF THE ALBUM HIMSELF AS HE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS.
THE COVER IS IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION ... ITS GOT A BROWN FADE TO IT AND A FEW CRACK TEARS DUE TO AGE THE VINYL IS IN GOOD CONDITION ... THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES BUT THE ALBUM PLAYS THROUGH ... THERE IS SURFACE NOISE WHEN PLAYED BUT DOES PLAY THROUGH WITH NO PROBLEMS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR'
Here is some internet articles on this version
