Description
Genuine 1st Pressing with Dr Robert misprint and Remix 11 of Tomorrow Never Knows which only appeared on the very first pressings before being replaced with Remix 8 on all later pressings.
MATRIX XEX 605-2 / XEX 606-1
The LP plays well with no skips jumps or scratches that spoil the listening enjoyment, there is light surface noise throughout but nothing one wouldn't expect from a 53 year old record! Inaudible hairline scratches and marks on both sides. The labels are in very good condition with only minor spindle wear on Side 1 and almost none on Side Two.
The cover is in good shape although it has a few crease marks but there are no splits along the seams and the corners have only minor rubbing.
All in all a great addition to any Beatles collection especially with the very rare Remix 11 of Tomorrow Never Knows.
Here is the information on the Remix 11 of Tomorrow Never Knows and Dr Robert mis-print from the excellent 'The Beatles Collection' website:
First pressing, August 5, 1966. “Remix 11” mispressing. Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 have “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 and beyond.Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Plain white or white & black “LP advertising” inner sleeves. With or without KT tax code on the label. Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 605-1 or -2; Side 2: XEX 606-1.This is how the labels first appeared on the shelves. Still using the sans serif Arial typeset. Also, these early labels misprint the side 2 track Doctor Robert as “Dr. Robert”. These early Sans-serif labels have each song title starting on a new line with the first line purely for “Taxman” and have “Eleanor Rigby” starting on the second line down. Also something to note on these original labels is that each song title was followed by song credits and then lead vocalist.
