. MEGA RARE LP by the Beatles
Revolver
Original 1966 1st Press with XEX 606-1 Side 2 Matrix

Alternative 'Remix 11' Version of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'!

  .
.

On offer here is an incredibly hard to find and highly collectible mono copy of the Beatles' LP 'Revolver' on the Parlophone label. This particular copy has the side 2 matrix of XEX 606-1 which indicates that it carries the mega-rare alternative mix (known as remix 11) of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'!

The story goes that the LP was completed and mixed and set up for production with the group getting the first copies off of the press to listen to. However, John wasn't happy with the mix of Tomorrow Never Knows that was used and got in touch requesting that it be changed for an earlier one he was more happy with. It's believed that the 606-1 copies of Revolver were only ever in production for a mere afternoon before word came that something needed to be changed and production was to be stopped.

These days the original 606-1 copies of Revolver are *incredibly* hard to find and throughout its 40 year history their availability has diminished as demand has increased. More and more copies are ending up in permanent collections, and since the earliest copies were bought by the more die-hard fans very few copies survived the punishment of constant playing.

These LPs are the only place to hear this alternative mix!

This would look great in any record collection!

. VG+ The Garrod and Lofthouse cover as a whole is holding up nicely for its age. The front cover is predominantly clean but does have one or two light spots in places. The cover has yellowed a little and has a few light creases around the edges and down the spine. The top and bottom seams are both holding perfectly. The spine has a couple of light creases running through it but is undamaged and holding perfect. The back, since it has no lamination, is so prone to ringwear but the back graphic is lovely and clear with judt a little wear by the mouth and the odd mark here and there. The overflaps are stuck night and tight and 'Pappin' is written in thin biro at the top left. Overall a very nice sleeve.   The Front Cover   The Back Cover     The Gatefold   .
. VG+ The disc has a nice shine to it and the playing surface has quite a few light scuffs in places along with a couple of light surface scratches but nothing that creates more than a faint click in places. The disc plays through with a nice sound although there is a very slight distortion during the louder parts. There's also a little light background crackle but this in no way intrudes onto the music. All in all a very nice copy of this mega-rare disc!   Side 1   Side 2   .
. VG/EX+ The side one label is pretty much clean with bright, sharp silver text. There's a small scar where it looks like a label has been removed during it's life. The disc two label is clean, crisp and clear with lovely, bright, sharp silver text. Both labels have a little, faint spindlewear and a little wear around the centerhole.   Side 1   Side 2   .

ALL SALES ARE FINAL! All payment MUST be received within 10 days of the auction closing. If payment is not received and I have had no contact from you at all then a 'Non Paying Bidder' dispute will be opened. If you need any time getting payment together then please just let me know what's going on and something can be sorted out.

Refunds
Everybody's grading is different; one persons NM might be another persons VG. If you are at all unhappy with the record then please email me and let me know for a full refund plus the postage cost to get it back to me. The record must get back to me in the exact same condition it left however else this offer is void.

Insurance
All items sent within the UK are sent Recorded Delivery as standard. If a record sells highly I'll put up the option for special delivery in case you which to have it sent in this way. All LPs are sent overseas to places outside the UK are sent uninsured as standard small packet airmail. If you live outside the UK and win a record for a lot of money it is highly recommended that insurance is paid for - the option will be there in the invoice I'll send after the auction ends. If no insurance is taken and the LP is lost in transit there is sadly very little, if anything I can do.

Items Lost in the Mail
If your LP hasn't gotten to you and you're at all worried then please don't hesitate to get in touch so that it can be sorted out. Most likely it's just because I haven't been able to get to the post office due to work commitments. If however it has been posted out and not arrived then I will do everything I can to chase it up and try and find it again. Every record sent within the UK is sent recorded delivery so if it does go walkies there's always that to fall back on and chase up. Unless otherwise requested or paid for all overseas items are sent standard airmail so if they disappear there is very little, if anything I can do. I collect proof of purchase with every item I post.

Items Damaged in the Mail
I professionally pack all of my records between strong 12" corrugated stiffeners and sent in a sturdy cardboard LP mailing envelope for full protection whilst in transit. In all my years of buying and selling on eBay only one record I have sent out has arrived broken at its destination (and that was only because the postman obviously couldn't read the large 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND' marks on it as he folded it up to put through the letterbox!!). Since the fault of the breakage lies with the postal service your best bet is to tackle them about the problem. I'll help any way I can.

The grading system I use when determining the condition of my vinyl
The 'Record Collectors' Grading System.
Taken from the Rare Record Price Guide book   Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertisied as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
