Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
Revolver
Mega Rare 'Ridged' Label ERROR PRESS!
This listing is for an extremely rare - maybe even unique - error pressing of the Beatles original UK Parlophone LP 'Revolver'.
Firstly, this copy features the extremely rare 'ridged' label. Originally thought to mean a CBS contract press, it's now believed that these ridged labels were the result of EMI bringing some old pressing machines out of retirement to try and help keep on top of the overwhelming demand for this LP.
Secondly, this is also an error pressing where both sides feature the side 2 label! Check out the photos below! This happens when the wrong batch of labels go into the pressing machine, and this is the result. Almost always caught by quality control, it appears a few managed to sneak past!
To find an original ridged label copy is hard enough, but to find an error press that has the same label on both sides is near impossible! I've never heard of one before - could this be unique?
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Regarding Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
