🎸 THE BEATLES – REVOLVER (Mono PMC 7009, 1966 1st Press -2/-2)
Original UK Parlophone Black & Yellow Labels ✴️ “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” ✴️ “Sold in U.K.” text ✴️ Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve ✴️ Plays superbly despite marks!
💿 VINYL – VG / VG+ (strong player)
✨ Visually, Side 1 shows numerous surface marks and scuffs, some of which look quite heavy under bright light – but playback is a revelation.
✅ Plays through beautifully with only light background noise between tracks – no skips, jumps, or distortion.
✅ Side 2 is cleaner still, also playing EX- to EX with great dynamics and warmth.
➡️ A true example of how looks can deceive – sounds fantastic!
