1.First pressing, August 5, 1966. "Remix 11" mispressing. Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 have "Remix 11" of "Tomorrow Never Knows". When "Revolver" was initially mixed a different master for "Tomorrow Never Knows" was sent off to be pressed. This mix is known as 'Remix 11'. Although subtle, it is different to the standard 'Remix 8' which was ultimately to replace it. The story goes that each group member was given the first copies from the production line and John went to listen to it. But, it turned out that he was unhappy with the mix or that the wrong one had been used and he informed George Martin. Production was then stopped as the new masters were cut and the pressing plates were replaced. First presses have a side 2 matrix number of XEX 606-1 whereas the standard presses have XEX 606-2 and beyond. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." printed at the start perimeter print and "Sold in U.K. subject..." text.. Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 605-1 or -2; Side 2: XEX 606-1
