BEATLES UK, Revolver, RARE E J Day stereo sleeve, original UK 1966.

PCS 7009, original UK 1966 stereo black and yellow Parlophone record labels.

A first issue UK 1966 stereo copy in original condition, featuring: 

1. a near impossible to find stereo sleeve made by, ‘E J Day’. Nearly all of the first issue UK 1966 Beatles Revolver stereo sleeves were made by the company, ‘Garrod and Lofthouse’. The company, ‘E J Day’ helped out EMI in the 1960s to manufacture sleeves for Beatle albums. By the mid 1960s the company ‘E J Day’ went through management changes, so fewer ‘E J Day’ sleeves were made from this period. The company emerged into 1966 and began once more to manufacture Beatle album sleeves. So while mono Revolver ‘E J Day’ sleeves can be found, it is near impossible to find a stereo, Revolver, ‘E J Day’ sleeve,

2. the rear of the sleeve has an unusual factory ‘edited’ appearance !, as the image of the Beatles looks as if it has been ‘cut out’ and pasted onto the dark background, as this image appears ‘lighter’ and has a more ‘defined’ outline !. Regular sleeves tend to be darker and do not have this ‘outlined’ appearance !,

3. the record features the earliest matrix of, ‘1 / 1’,

4. the record label on side two features the spelling of, ‘Doctor Robert’ but on the rear of the sleeve, this track is spelt as, ‘Dr Robert !’,

5. comes with its original period EMI, ‘Patents applied for’ inner sleeve.
