Description

UP FOR AUCTION IS A BEATLES "REVOLVER" LP EARLY UK 1ST PRESSING 1966 RARE STEREO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION! THIS IS A FIRST ISSUE 1966 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' STEREO FLIPBACK EDGES COVER WITH THE TEXT 'PATENT PENDING' PRINTED ON THE BACK'S BOTTOM FLIPBACK EDGE. THE RECORD LABELS HAVE THE "SOLD IN THE UK" WITH "GRAMOPHONE" ON THE RIMS AS STANDARD SINCE "HELP!". ALSO THE TAX CODE/KT STAMPED ON SIDE 2. PARLOPHONE: PCS-7009, MATRIX: YEX 605-1/YEX 606-1, EMI STAMPING CODES: 1AR/2AL. STAMPING CODES OF 1 & 2 MOTHER DIGITS RESPECTIVELY AT 9 O'CLOCK IN THE RUN OUT GROOVES ARE POSITIVELY THOSE OF A FIRST PRESSING! ALSO, (FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSES) THE FIRST BRITISH PRESSINGS OF "REVOLVER" IN BOTH MONO AND STEREO HAD TRACK 4 ON SIDE 2 SPELLED AS "DOCTOR ROBERT" ON THE LABELS ONLY, THE COVER HOWEVER LISTED "DR. ROBERT" WHICH WAS NOT HOW JOHN LENNON SUBMITTED THE CORRECT SPELLING. LATER PRESSINGS CORRECTED THE COVER MISSPELLING. WHAT MAKES THIS COPY RARE (ASIDE FROM THE STAMPINGS AND MISSPELLING) WAS, UNLIKE MULTIPLE PRESSINGS FOR MONO RECORDS, THESE STEREO LPS WERE MADE IN FAR SMALLER NUMBERS, THE RISE IN THE SEQUENCED NUMBERS AND LETTERS IN THE RUNOUT GROOVES WAS COMMON FOR ALL OF EMI'S 60'S PRESSINGS. THE TRUE RARITY OF STEREO LPS IN THE UK (UNLIKE THE US) WAS THAT MOST LOCAL RECORD SHOPS DIDN'T STOCK THEM ,OUTSIDE OF LARGE RECORD CHAINS, SO THEY HAD TO BE SPECIALLY ORDERED. EMI WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE ORDERS AND PRESS ACCORDINGLY. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANT..........THIS IS A TRUE STEREO RECORDING, MIXED DOWN BY GEORGE MARTIN! THIS "REVOLVER" COVER IS A GORGEOUS NEAR MINT/BOTH FRONT AND BACK/WITH CRISP EDGES & SPINE AND NO CRACKLING WHATSOEVER! THE LP LABELS ARE NEAR MINT. THE VINYL PLAYS NEAR MINT WITH NO SKIPS, POPS OR CRACKS! THE LP COMES WITH IT'S CORRECT EARLY INNER SLEEVE: THE UNCUT BLANK OFF WHITE INNER STATING IN BLUE INK "PATENTS APPLIED FOR". LATER REVOLVER INNER SLEEVES (1967) HAVE THE DARK RED & WHITE 32 ILLUSTRATED ALBUMS INNER. THE ONLY FLAW WHICH THIS INNER SLEEVE HAS, IS A (4 1/2") SEAM SPLIT TO ONE SIDE ONLY (FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS CAN BE REPAIRED)........ALL IN ALL, AN EXCEPTIONAL RARE, NEAR MINT COPY OF "REVOLVER" STEREO WITH LOW MATRICES AND STAMPINGS! AS THE YEARS GO BY, THESE 1ST PRESSING "REVOLVER" STEREOS IN THIS HIGH GRADE CONDITION, ARE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND!
