A first issue UK 1966 stereo copy in original condition, featuring:

1. a near impossible to find stereo sleeve made by, ‘E J Day’. Nearly all !, of the first issue 1966 Beatles Revolver stereo sleeves were made by the company, ‘Garrod and Lofthouse’. The company, ‘E J Day’ helped out EMI in the 1960s to manufacture sleeves for Beatle albums. By the mid 1960s the company of ‘E J Day’ went through management changes, so less 'E J Day' sleeves were made from this period. The company emerged into 1966 and began once more to manufacture Beatle album sleeves. So while mono Revolver ‘E J Day’ sleeves can be found, it is near impossd a stereo, Revolver, ‘E J Day’ sleeve,
