Hello there,and welcome to my auctions! For information about this specific record please scroll down to the blue text below! Thanks!
During this national lockdown, I started to sort through some of my mountains of rare records, at first pulling out ones I didn't play as much as I should, or else ones that I've since upgraded from. However as time has gone on I have done some soul searching, and have actually pulled out some of the biggest titles I have in my collection (and the ones that were kind of my investment plan for if I fell on hard times!), this week, I offer some of them to you, I have focussed on rare Psych (Tea and Symphony, Forest, Dr Strangely Strange, Vashti Bunyan's first single, and other rare Harvest and Vertigo titles to name a few), Folk (Tickawinda! Clive's Original Band, Anne Briggs, The Pennine Folk, The Incredible String Band, The Famous Jug Band etc.) Prog (Pink Floyd, E.L.P. Bakerloo, Climax Blues Band, early Black Sabbath), some very rare Jazz (Michael Garrick Trio, Helen Merrill) some rare signed LPs including THE BYRDS! And some super rare Beatles (Megarare SOLID CENTRES including Paperback Writer, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Beatles' Hits, Twist and Shout EP etc. And some rare LPs Gold Parlophone, A Hard Day's Night "Know" mispress, XEX-606-1, Sgt.Peppers omits A Day In The Life. and ... if I can bring myself to, my VAULT COPY of the Mono One Box Label of Please Please Me... Don't hold me to that, I might chicken out and find a better day to take photos!)
Anyway, if you don't already follow me, please consider it, as ebay will keep you updated whenever I list new items. PLEASE READ...
A word about postage, I have lost out on postage quite signifficantly on some international sales, so if the item goes over £100 please wait for me to get an accurate postage quote, apologies in advance if this adds alittle time to the turnaround speed, but it's necessary to avoid huge fees! If it goes significantly over the postage stated, I ask that the buyer pay the excess. All items must be fully insured for their value.  Most countries I haven't had problems with the excess postage costs, but have found that sending expensive items to Korea and a few other countries very expensive,so if the buyer is not willing to pay the excess,I reserve the right to cancel the sale.
I am willing to combine postage as best I can, but as I mentioned before, if postage goes over the stated price, I ask that the buyer cover the excess, and as such be aware that often if the weight goes over 1kg (about 3 LPs) it's often cheaper to send in two seperate parcels,please bear this in mind when combined purchases!

My background: I have collected records since the 80s, and although I have had a few cut-downs, I still seem to have mountains of records in my collection! I have sold records both online an in person for about 20 years,and have many repeat customers from all over the world. I pride myself on being fair both in gradings and communications,adn I please ask that buyers do the same. I will not be held feedback hostage, though should,heaven forbid anyone be unhappy with their purchase, I will work with the buyer as best I can to find a solution. I have written detailed descriptions of each of these records,and so please don't bid purely off the photos.

Grading: I grade using the Record Collector Rare Record Grading system with the addition of NM, by which I mean a non-sealed but to my eyes perfect, possibly unplayed, or played incredibly carefully once or twice! I will not use the term M (Mint) unless the record is sealed, or there is some other demonstrable way of proving it is unplayed. Please bear in mind that in my gradings EX+ for example are incredibly good records, that you almost never see! I feel that I grade down if anything, please check my feedback for proof of this! I have sold many records (some incredibly rare ones in the 4 figures) over the years, so please rest assured that my gradings have been satisfactory so far! Though, if you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me before leaving negative feedback. I haven't had negative feedback so far, and don't intend to start now if I can at all help it!
THE BEATLES Revolver 1st MONO XEX-606-1 Remix 11 mispress RARE! E.J Day Sleeve

I sold a similar condition copy of this rare record earlier in the year, and have used the introduction to that listing as a template,so if this listing starts off sounding a bit familiar,then please be aware I haven't plagerised anyone but myself, and this is a different and possibly marginally better copy of this very rare LP, that I was lucky enough to own!
 Here we have one of the most audibly sought after Beatles records, by that I mean that the desirability of this record doesn't stem from a variation in the type-face or company which pressed it, but rather from the songs on it. This is a very 1st MONO (mis)pressing of REVOLVER from 1966 with a different version of Tomorrow Never Knows to close the album, this version Remix 11 hasn't been made available officially anywhere else. This is the only pressing of this album worldwide to feature this version of the song, either then or since, and was only run for very few copies, before it was corrected with the intended mix. Bruce Spizer tells it more succinctly than I could in his essential book "Beatles For Sale On Parlophone Records", "When the monoalbumwas banded, Remix 11 was placed on the album's master tape. The first lacquer cut for the mono album,as well as the initial pressings of the mono album (identified by the matrix number XEX-606-1 in the trail off area of Side 2), have remix 11. After a relatively small number of mono albums were pressed with Remix 11,George Martin decided that remix 8 should have been used. A new lacquer was cut with Remix 8, and all future pressings of the album have this mix. (These records have XEX-606-2 in the trail off area Side 2.)... Both versions of the mono album went on sale simultaneously on August 5, 1966. Collectors pay a premium for the initial pressing having Remix 11 of Tomorrow Never Knows."
Apologies for such a lengthy quote, but I think it's a very valuable and well expressed paragraph! Here then collectors, for your delictation... is one of said rare initial Remix 11 copies!

Record Condition: Visually VG-,a strong one though! This copy of this very rare record has surface marks, but mainy light ones most visible when angled under strong,direct light,but there are a few more visible ones, and one on each side that looks more significant that the others, though the one on side two is mildly feelable across "Got To Get You Into My Life", neither affect play beyond causing some background ticks in the quietest points, and the audio is strong at least VG if not VG+. Absolutely no jumps/sticks horrible crunches etc! And the all important "Tomorrow Never Knows" sounds truly great!

Label Conditions: VG Lovely strong labels completely free of grafitti etc. It has a few very light spindle marks, and one small abbrasion at 9 o'clock on the side 1 labelnear the publishing year. Slight print whitening around the central spindle holes, though less on side 2, and on the embossed central KT tax code on side 1. A very slight mottling that may be cleanable, and only really visible when angled into the light correctly.

Sleeve Condition: VG Really strong clean (significantly rarer) E. J. Day sleeve, generally niceand crisp, with just a light handling,and completely free from graffiti, stains, edge-wear-throughs etc, just the very corner few cm of the bottom flip-back tab is missing, otherwise would grade higher. Spine is wonderful and completely legible.
