REVOLVER
Revised pressing with corrected side 2 matrix
Sans Serif Font Labels with "Doctor Robert" Correction
PARLOPHONE PMC 7009 : MATRIX NOs XEX-605-2/XEX-606-2
The vinyl plays in a Very Good condition with little crackle. Some of the louder tracks may play above this play-grade. Unfortunately Revolver specifically is cut very quiet and has a lot of compression so it's easy to be interrupted by noise / crackle. Luckily on this copy it's not too prominent and the audio experience is rather enjoyable! That said, it's not perfect. Visually the surfaces look nice and shiny but they do show their wear. There are some marks / scuffs / scratches on both sides but luckily nothing is feel-able by hand. By no means is this copy the best one out there, but it's still rather nice and quite enjoyable! I'd recommend summing your cartridge to mono as this heavily improves playback.
Please note that my camera does not pick up the condition of the record surfaces as well as I'd like it to, the record visually isn't mint but it's rather nice compared to how most of these LPs turn up these days.
The original Garrod & Lofthouse flipback cover is in quite decent condition, it grades as Very Good. The seams are holding up nicely and the flipbacks are really nice and clean. Unfortunately there's signs of a huge horizontal crease on the front and back. It's difficult to get a photo of it but on the front it goes across just above John's nose; it's a lot easier to see on the back and it's in the same position on both sides. If it weren't for this, the cover would have graded as VG+, maybe even EX. When compared against a new reissue, there's very little yellowing and overall it looks rather lovely past that crease mark. The openings have little wear and the spine is nice and clear, too.
Comes with it's original inner sleeve, these are seldom seen as they were rather generic so they were easily mixed up. It's in nice shape with no splits, just a little bit of lifting on the glued seams.
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
