THE BEATLES "Revolver" - Parlophone - PMC 7009 - 06 June, 1966 - MONO
It is a genuine and RARE album.
· Matrix number side 1: XEX 605-2
· Matrix number side 2: XEX 606-1
This album is a first pressing, June 06 , 1966. "Remix 11" mispressing:
- Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 have ?Remix 11? of ?Tomorrow Never Knows?.
When ?Revolver? was initially mixed a different master for ?Tomorrow Never Knows? was sent off to be pressed. The 6 Jun 1966 pressing mix is known as ?Remix 11?. Although subtle, it is different to the standard ?Remix 8?which was ultimately to replace it.
This Mono LP is extremely rare, and is believed to have been manufactured on only the first day of UK pressing. Most copies have matrix 606-2 or 606-3 on side B, and are the standard version heard on all copies of other countries' pressings
In this rare record, the vocal is louder and clearer over the effects, the fade is slightly longer and has more piano and the effect are faded up quite differently
The story goes that each group member was given the first copies from the production line and John Lennon went to listen to it. But, it turned out that he was unhappy with the mix or that the wrong one had been used and he informed George Martin.
Production was then stopped as the new masters were cut and the pressing plates were replaced.
First presses have:
· Side 2 matrix number of XEX 606-1 whereas the standard presses have XEX 606-2 and beyond.
· Black label with yellow logo and silver print.
· ?The Gramophone Co. Ltd.? printed at the start perimeter print and ?Sold in U.K. subject?? text.
· Plain white or white & black ?LP advertising? inner sleeves.
· With or without KT tax code on the label.
· Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 605-1 or -2; Side 2: XEX 606-1.
· Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. front laminated flipback cover with small ?mono? on the front and with ?Dr. Robert? (early variation) or ?Doctor Robert? song credit on the back side
This is how the labels first appeared on the shelves. Still using the sans serif Arial typeset. Also, these early labels misprint the side 2 track Doctor Robert as ?Dr. Robert?. These early Sans-serif labels have each song title starting on a new line with the first line purely for ?Taxman? and have ?Eleanor Rigby? starting on the second line down. Also something to note on these original labels is that each song title was followed by song credits and then lead vocalist.
