Description

THE BEATLES - 'REVOLVER'

First issued in October 1969, the '1-EMI box' Parlophone label replaced the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. All albums released with this label were cut from the same masters as the 1st pressings and in most cases retain the same matrices. Each was pressed on high-quality virgin vinyl and retain all of the warmth and flawless sound quality of the 1st pressings at a fraction of the cost, making them arguably the best value Beatles vinyl available.

This pristine, 1-play copy of 'Revolver' is on that same '1-EMI box' EMI/Parlophone label: PCS 7009

Track 6 on the side 2 label is misprinted as 'I Got to Get You Into My Life'. The 'I' should not be there.

Matrix numbers: YEX 605-1 & YEX 606-1 (the same as the 1966 1st pressing)

Stamper codes: 3/GDP & 2/HT

Vinyl weight: 145g

Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with a small solid stereo front indicator.

Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

A perfect pair with just a single faint spindle trail around each completely unworn centre hole.

Visual: MINT

Immaculate, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' both in strong daylight AND directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.

Sound quality: MINT

Played just ONCE by its original audiophile owner to tape, my single careful play-check confirm the sound as flawless & incredible throughout. If you want the sound quality of a 1st pressing, this copy cannot be beaten for value.

Cover: NEAR MINT

A strong, clean & unyellowed example with a pristine white unworn front laminate with no 'thumbnails' or any other noticeable wear. All corners and edges are free from any major wear and the rear panel is clean & black where it should be with no writing or missing paper. There is a small scuff to the lower flipback but both seams and the spine are all unstressed, unsplit & unworn.

Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT

Clean and flat with no writing, tears or seam splits.
