Description
Up for auction is a copy of Revolver by The Beatles, released in 1966 on Parlophone cat no PMC 7009, a mono UK copy. This is a rare first pressing with side 2 bearing a matrix number XEX 606-1, indicating that it includes a slightly longer & otherwise unreleased version of “Tomorrow Never Knows” which was withdrawn at the last minute due to John Lennon’s dissatisfaction with the mix. A few copies escaped though; this is one of them. Additionally, this copy bears earliest stamper numbers (1 G on side one, 1 R on side two), indicating this copy is one of the first few hundred to be pressed. As if that weren't enough, this copy bears the misprint "Dr. Robert" rather than "Doctor Robert" on both label and cover. So: the earliest pressing of the rarest UK version of one of the greatest & most highly respected albums of all time.
Condition: sadly this copy has been well-played (as it should be!), and the vinyl has numerous small marks & a few larger ones. Remarkably, it still plays through with no sticks & only 1 jump at the start of side two (though inevitably there are clicks & pops); they really knew how to press albums in those days. The cover is not too bad, with a few creases, but no writing, tears, splits etc. Overall G-/VG (vinyl/cover).
My grades: I use a 10-point scale: M-; EX; VG+; VG; VG-; G+; G; G-; F (fair); P (poor). I never use mint as a grade for used records. I am a long-time (25+ years!) record collector, and play-grade where possible. I don’t use stock photos: the item in pictured here is the item for sale. My feedback from buyers indicates I normally undergrade in listings. Even so, if you have any problems, I'll give you your money back (less shipping costs), no questions asked. Buy with confidence! Any questions? Need any more photos or an audio sample? I'm only an email away.
Payment: UK- cheques (preferred) or Paypal. Rest Of World- Paypal. Email for other accepted methods of payment. Shipping: £3.70 (UK 1st class), £4.70 (UK recorded) £6.50 (Europe) £8.50 (rest of world-airmail). Insurance recommended for orders over £25; I am not responsible for parcels that go missing in the post! Check my other auctions; combine orders & save on shipping costs!
