The Beatles Withdrawn Revolver 1966 1st Pressing
Cat. No. PMC 7009
This is the sought after withdrawn pressing having the -2/ -1 matrices with the longer version of Tomorrow Never Knows due to John Lennon’s piano jingle. Rare in any condition but here we have a very nice copy grading around VG+.
Not only that, but this was one of the first off the pressing machine having 1R/ 1G Mother & stampers! I’ve never seen another version as early as this come up on eBay before. So this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity now, there really can’t be many of these in existence.
Condition of the sleeve is Very Good To Very Good Plus, it is fully intact with no repairs or splits etc. It is a little off-white on the rear panel and there are few creases to the laminate. Other than that it’s pretty neat with no edge wear and no major corner wear and the laminate retains its gloss. It is of course the first and rarer Ernest J Day manufactured edition with the startling Harrison eyes! Also has the Dr. Robert track listing error (as does the record label of course).
Condition of the vinyl is a very strong Very Good, verging on Very Good Plus. There is nothing which spoils the overall look, in fact it is very respectable and is immediately obvious it will play well. It projects a bright mirror-like shine all over, has no detractions such as groove wear, needle drops, scratches, warps etc. However, it does have a fair few non-troublesome hairlines here and there which reveal themselves under light. Has clearly only been played in moderation and handled well.
The original EMI plain inner sleeve is also included, in a pretty good condition with no splits, just minor discolouration.
Labels are really very nice as only have minimal spindle lines etc, and no defects such as writing etc. The spindle point perimeter is extremely neat with no noticeable wear, so the original owner was really careful playing it.
The audio is great, would say Excellent. Apart from a few barely noticeable tics and a little barely noticeable non-distracting background interference in some of the the run-in's and fade-out's it is pretty much faultless, there was no pick-up of tics or background interference over the main body of music in any track on my equipment. No detractions such as sticks, skips, jumps, pops. Deep mono bass with lucid instrumentals and bright and clear vocals. The epitome of The Beatles in their psychedelic phase.
I take the packaging of LP’s with the utmost of care and consideration, and use I the best on the market packaging and I add extra protection too.
