Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 has “Remix 11” of “Tomorrow Never Knows”. When “Revolver” was initially mixed a different master for “Tomorrow Never Knows” was sent off to be pressed. This mix is known as ‘Remix 11’. Although subtle, it is different to the standard ‘Remix 8’ which was ultimately to replace it. The story goes that each group member was given the first copies from the production line and John 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 a side 2 matrix number of XEX 606-1 whereas the standard presses have XEX 606-2.




Vinyl in Very good minus condition. It does have scratches & slight scuffs. 

Front Laminate Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve very good clean solid condition. Some of the usual laminate creasing to leading edge and a 3.3 cm scuff on the trailing sleeve edge. See pics 


Labels. Visible KT tax code to side 1 and does have spindle marks. See pics 





Test play on a Numark deck. Very good mono audio, no intrusive sticks skips jumps. Does have some crackle and the clicks normally associated with VG- grade vinyl. It's a well played and previously loved record. 


Original 'Emitex' inner  graded as good due to small split

Record collector grading system


+ or - relates to the record being slightly better or worse than the stated grading 


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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition, 


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


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. 


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


Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 


Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc...The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 


Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
