*THE BEATLES~REVOLVER~ULTRA RARE US ORIG’66 CAPITOL MONO 1ST PRESS AUDIO MATRIX STAMP SHRINK*

NOTE: INSANELY RARE COLLECTOR’S COPY FIRST US MONAURAL PRESSING WITH THE MACHINE STAMPED ”AUDIOMATRIX”, WHICH BELONGED TO AUDIO MATRIX, INC., LOCATED IN BRONX, NEW YORK, AND MADE METAL PRESSING COMPONENTS, INCLUDING MASTERS, MOTHERS AND STAMPERS FOR THE RECORD MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY.  THEIR WORK ALWAYS HAD A MACHINE STAMPED ”AUDIOMATRIX” IN THE DEADWAX MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ALMOST UNREADABLE AS STAMPERS WEAR LED TO THE DEPTH OF THE ACTUAL STAMP GETTING MORE SHALLOW. WE CAN'T TELL FOR SURE WHAT PRESSING PLANT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WAS PRESSED AT. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE PRESSING RING WITH THE DIAMETER OF 2.75' AND THE "REVOLVER" TITLE WRITTEN WITH SPACES ON THE LABELS IT CAN BE ASSUMED THAT IT IS A SCRANTON PRESSING PLANT ISSUE. BUT, HERE ARE SOME CONTRADICTIONS. BRUCE SPIZER DOCUMENTS A MONO COPY OF "REVOLVER" WITH THE SAME FEATURES AS THIS PRESSING IN HIS BOOK, BUT CAN'T NAME THE PARTICULAR PLANT THAT PRESSED THE "AUDIOMATRIX" ISSUES. HE ALSO MENTIONS THAT "THIS MYSTERY PLANT ALSO PRESSED MONO COPIES OF "SOMETHING NEW," "THE EARLY BEATLES" AND POSSIBLY MORE." THE PRESSING PLANT THAT PRESSED THIS ISSUE AND OTHER "AUDIOMATRIX" COPIES REMAINS UNKNOWN AS THE AUDIO MATRIX COMPANY DIDN'T PROVIDE CAPITOL WITH METAL PRESSING PLATES AS CAPITOL HAD ITS OWN PLATES. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE NO DOUBTS AT ALL THAT THIS PRESSING IS ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSINGS AS THE VINYL HAS THE DATE STAMP IN THE TRAIL-OFF VINYL , PROVIDING THE PROOF THAT THIS PRESSING WAS MADE IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF OCTOBER 1966.
