The Beatles - Revolver LP 1966 Parlophone MONO UK 1st Press

Original withdrawn UK 1st press with matrix XEX 606-1 on side 2

Features a slightly different sounding mix of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'

PLEASE READ MY DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY - THIS ALBUM HAS A FEW ISSUES


CAT NO: PMC 7009 (mono)


PRESSING DETAILS:  UK 1st Press SIDE 1 (XEX 605-2 & 1  M) & SIDE 2 (XEX 606-1 &  1  L) Stamped.


SLEEVE: (G) UK 1st press Garrod & Lofthouse Patents Pending sleeve has heavy wear from use and storage. The surface of the top corner flap has lifted but there are no splits and no writing. Heavily creased and stained in places. The spine text is scuffed but still readable.


INNER SLEEVE: (G) Paper inner is tatty with a small tear to the centre circle and nibbling to the edges. 


RECORD LABELS: (G) No writing and no stickers but loads of spindle marks and a few scuffs. Lots of wear


VINYL CONDITION VISUALLY: (FAIR) Vinyl is flat and glossy and covered in marks. Lots of scratches, scuffs and hairlines visible in normal light. Some radial marks and groove wear in places.


OVERALL PLAYING GRADE: Side 1 (FAIR)  Side 2 (GOOD) Both sides play with constant  'rain' background crackle which is mostly overpowered by the louder music but very noticeable during the gaps and quieter music. A few isolated pops. There is a quick skip midway through 'I'm Only Sleeping' and a quick one at the very end of 'Yellow Submarine' as the track fades out which forces me to grade side 1 FAIR. No skips or jumps on Side 2. 'Tomorrow Never Knows' plays with constant background crackle and a few pops. The sound quality is still great and this LP is still an enjoyable listen. Superior to any CD remaster or re-press with real warmth and detail.  A very rare Beatles record not to be missed!  




Strict grading using Record Collector grading system.  All records are sent in correct record mailers or cruciform box with cardboard stiffeners and the vinyl removed for the the original inner and put in a new polylined inner sleeve outside of the cover to make sure no splits happen during delivery. All vinyl is sent tracked and signed for.



RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING

All records are graded using the Record Collector Grading System with (+) or (-) to show a slightly higher or lower grade.

M (Mint) : The Record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): The Record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG (Very Good) : The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G (Good) : The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

F (Fair) : The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
