This is a mono copy of Revolver released on 5 August 1966.
The matrix numbers are XEX 605-2 and XEX 606-2 which marks it out as one of the very first presses of the album after the hastily withdrawn remix 11 of Tomorrow Never Knows.
The mothers/stampers are side one 5 GHR and side two 2 GDM and it has the KT tax code.
The perimeter text starts The Gramophone Co Ltd and it has the Sold in the UK subject to…text under the yellow Parlophone. Both the sleeve and the label have the track Doctor Robert on side 2 mis printed as Dr Robert.
The sleeve is in very good to excellent condition, as seen from the pictures. There's some very light feathering at the opening and some minor discolouring and ringwear evident on the rear. The tapered spine is fully readable.
The record itself is also in very good to excellent condition. It still retains a nice shine though there are a few marks to be seen on both sides. There is some feint crackle here and there, most noticable between tracks, and 3 or 4 pops on side 2 but no skips or jumps. You'll see from the pictures that there is very little wear around the spindles.
If you're looking for a museum quality final upgrade this is not it but it is a solid example of a very rare record.
UK Only - will be sent signed for in record mailer with stiffener
