The Beatles - Revolver LP Capitol 1978 Issue Factory Sealed.
Hello everyone. This time I have for your viewing pleasure and bidding consideration a factory sealed copy of "Revolver" by The Beatles. Originally issued in 1966 this pressing is from 1978. How do I know? Easy!! Look at the prefix. From 1966 to 1978 the album bore a "T" prefix for the mono version and "ST" prefix for its stereo counterpart. Beginning in '78 the accountants at Capitol said a price hike is needed and that's why you see the "SW" prefix on this and subsequent issues until the big changeroo in 1987. So obviously the prefix strongly suggests to me the label will be the purple Capitol dome.
Anyway...let's look at the details:
The cover has a little wear on it as depicted, largely restricted to the shrink wrap.  On the front we see a rip over Ringo's nose, a wearing near George and the "Stereo" notation. On the back there's a separation in the upper left corner and a small rip in the middle bottom. Checking out the spine there appears to be a slight bending in the middle usually happening when someone picks up the album to look at it. It's just something we record people tend to do.
As far as the record I mentioned the label will most likely be the purple Capitol dome design. As far as the sound goes I've heard people say the late '70s issues were very good soundwise but I've also heard people say the late '70s issues were very bad soundwise so take from that what you will. All I will say is you'll the be first to play this copy.
Keep an eye out for more Beatles LPs in future listings.
