ALMOST 50 YEARS ON, YOU COULD BE ONLY THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS (EARLY PRESSING) FAMOUS ALBUM FROM A PRIVATE SELLER!!

Taking information from thebeatles-collection.com and jpgr.co.uk websites I am certain that this is a 2nd pressing of Revolver.

As to the record itself – I played it for the first time in many years on 5/2/2013 and can honestly say that every track plays without a single scratch or static pop and crackle. With very close inspection under strong light there are only a very few visible (and inaudible) hairline marks on the playing surfaces which overall have a shiny sheen to them with no fingerprints.  The labels have some spindle marks in a certain light, and minimal spindle wear around the centre hole.

The sleeve shows FEW signs of its 47 years, despite having undergone a few house moves and temporary (dry) storage. There is a little softening to the corners but the laminate is intact and the spine is firm with title printing intact. The flipbacks are securely glued still apart from a small tear to the lower right back corner (see photos). The printing on the back of the cover is clear and un-marked but there are signs of age to the white flipbacks in the way of a darkening due to handling over the years and also very faint ringwear.  Despite having always been stored upright there is no wear to the lower edge and no breaks to the laminate on any of the edges.

Bearing in mind the age of this sleeve it is still in remarkably good condition. The original plain white un- lined inner sleeve has some yellowing with age but is not torn or marked in any way.

I have owned this record from new!  It has never been lent out nor taken to parties – I was always selfish like that. It has always been handled by the edges and never stacked on an auto-changer.

In conclusion, if you want to be only the second owner of this pristine piece of vinyl and not buy from a shop or dealer then you can bid with confidence.  I am now reluctantly selling all of my collection of vintage vinyl from the 60s due to space limitations. Keep an eye out for further Beatles releases and John Barry Soundtracks, mostly first pressings.
