Revolver is the seventh album by The Beatles, released on 5 August 1966. Many of the tracks on Revolver are marked by an electric guitar-rock sound, in contrast with their previous, folk rock inspired Rubber Soul. It reached number 1 on both the UK and US Charts and stayed at the top spot for seven weeks and six weeks, respectively. 

 The album is often regarded as one of the greatest achievements in rock music history, and one of the Beatles' greatest studio achievements. It was released before their last tour in August 1966, but they did not perform songs from the album live. Their reasoning for this was that many of the tracks on the album, such as "Tomorrow Never Knows", were too complex to perform with live instruments. 

 Revolver is often cited as one of the greatest albums in music history. It has numerous shifts in mood and production texture, but in its innovative manipulation of amplification and electronics to produce new sounds on guitars and other instruments.  Specific, widely-heralded examples include the backwards riffs of "I'm Only Sleeping", the sound effects of "Yellow Submarine", the sitar of "Love You To", the blurry guitars of "She Said, She Said", and above all the seagull chanting, buzzing drones, megaphone vocals, free-association philosophising, and varispeed tape effects of "Tomorrow Never Knows".

This Ultra Rare Stereo Press gives a great authentic Beatles listening experience. Hard to believe this great vinyl is from the 60's! A supreme rarity!






ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING: 

Yes – brilliant sound quality throughout.

This great record plays up to the visual and audio grading and beyond, with bright clear audio. 

REVOLVER is a complex and varied collection of music, and is a relatively sensitive piece of vinyl, and hard to find in clear audio condition. Worn copies can have a lot of surface sound even on musically complex and busy tracks like 'Tomorrow Never Knows.' This pressing has strong undistorted audio, with bright clear sound. There is certainly NO dominant  interference, and NO loud pops or clicks. It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity!

Superb sound with clear audio, every track has been tested and I could find no obvious sound blemishes. I will give a detailed account below:








'Taxman' bursts in with superb clear audio. Bright loud sound, there are no loud pops or clicks, and certainly not a hint of distortion. There is some light static in the run in grooves and a few light tics, but I could detect very little static and it sounds clear and punchy throughout the track. The full orchestration of 'Eleanor Rigby' plays with great separation. This track is the first real test for Revolver, with multi layering but also a sparseness, it plays superbly, with all the instruments of the string octet clear and distinct. Barely any occasional static and certainly no loud pops or clicks. A single very light tick between the two tracks, and thats the only obvious audio blemish. 'I'm Only Sleeping' sounds great again with barely any detectable static at all, including over the treated guitar fade-out. 'Love You To' opens with a very clean intro, with virtually no background static and just one small static tick during the sitar intro, and the sitar sounds amazingly clear and bright. Still no loud pops or clicks, and NO distortion, in fact I can safely say this vinyl plays without a hint of distortion or buzzing anywhere. 'Here, There And Everywhere' plays superbly with incredible clarity for the lead and backing vocals. Being ultra critical, I did hear a couple of light tics between the tracks, and some very light static in the middle, but thats it. 'Yellow Submarine', sounds great, with virtually no static, and just a light pop in the middle and one at the end of the track. The vocals and overdub effects on this track are exceptionally clearly defined. It plays with great clear music. 'She Said She Said' rounds off side one and sounds wonderful with bright clear loud audio from start to finish with the fantastic  lead guitar sound clean and powerful from the intro riff all the way through to the fade-out , superb.






Side 2. begins with the classic upbeat 'Good Day Sunshine'. It plays through brilliantly with no discernible ticks, pops or clicks, just a little static at the start. 'And Your Bird Can Sing' plays beautifully, with barely any detectable static, and no sound interference. 'For No One’ with its horn solo and 'Doctor Robert' sound fantastic all the way through, with absolutely minimal surface static and no loud pops or other sound interruptions. A couple of light static tics only. 'I Want To Tell You’ sounds superb, with bright, clear sound, and great clarity, and almost no static, even in the intro and fade-out.  The classic 'Got To Get You Into My Life’ sounds clear and punchy with the rich, warm sound of the distinctive Motown-influenced brass section especially clear.  The final track 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. This radical track rounds off this great vinyl superbly, with amazingly clear loud sound. I could only detect a single very light tick at the very beginning and very little detectable static, with no pops or clicks throughout.  The overdubs, tape loops and other effects that made this track so revolutionary are clear and distinct with incredible detail.  This is a superb audio performance. 



This is a great original Stereo press of Revolver, with no loud clicks or pops anywhere and certainly no distortion, buzzing or other obvious interference. There is some light occasional static, but it is occasional, hard to hear and very much in the background. Great music with great clarity. 

A great all round example of this great vinyl. I would give this great record an audio grading of EXCELLENT PLUS to NEAR MINT.




THE RECORD – VISUAL GRADING 

A superb piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing. The record still has great shine, with just some light handling marks and minimal paper removal marks. There is one tiny scratch on side two, but it is certainly very light and completely non sounding. This is a really stunning example, clear grooves that deliver absolutely amazing audio clarity. This 1st Ever 1.1. Stereo Pressing gives an amazing authentic Beatles listening experience. Hard to believe this great vinyl is from the 60's! A true collectors gem!

Graded at EXCELLENT to EXCELLENT PLUS.



THE LABELS 

These early MONO Press Parlophone labels are in stunning condition, with no sticker marks or writing, and absolutely minimal spindle traces. Only one tiny faint line per side. A great pair. 

Grades at NEAR MINT.


VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING:

Yes, NONE visible what so ever when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.



THE COVER

This vinyl comes complete with the ultra rare original medium MONO logo issue 'Garrod Lofthouse' cover in great condition. 

These Revolver covers are very prone to wear, like so many of the classic Beatles vinyls from the sixties. The laminate is prone to cracking and lifting, with serious ring wear and destruction to the edges. The unlaminated back is usually heavily marked and The Spines are nearly always flattened, worn and un readable. Not this one!


There is minimal rubbing to the corners, and no rubbing along the edges. The opening edges are very square and un frayed, with none of the common small splits at the opening. The white areas are very white, with no obvious blemishes. The back cover is nice and clean, with NO finger prints (that are nearly always present and cant really be removed)  and  NO ring wear, which is very unusual for these delicate covers. The spine is square and un broken, (there are a couple of ultra light creases only) and the text is completely in tact.

A great example. All round, this is a really TOP cover!!! 

Easily grades at EXCELLENT.






THE INNER 

This classic press comes with the Original UK picture inner sleeve, with NO splits on any of the sides, and NO splits or frays at the top, no serious staining or obvious discolouration, as clearly seen in the images. There is some marking from the impression of the record as seen in the images. A stunning example, and one of the earliest editions.  Easily grades at EXCELLENT. The record will of course come in a plain white replacement inner sleeve, to protect the originals!




RARITY

EARLY YELLOW AND BLACK STEREO PRESSINGS in playable condition as becoming scarce. The vinyl is so often played so much, heavily marked, scratched, with noisy, poor and distorted sound.

The cover is almost impossible to find without serious wear, even modestly worn examples are scarce and this is a TOP example, with no cracks or serious marks. Finding a nice cover like this, with a heavy piece of vinyl, fantastic!. 

FINDING AN ORIGINAL STEREO PRESS, with ULTRA CLEAN LABELS and TOP AUDIO THROUGHOUT, and the 1st ever Matrix variant , MAKES THIS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN EXTREMELY RARE PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY in GREAY CONDITION.

SCRUPULOUS EXAMINATION and TESTING:

All our records are play tested on highly sensitive equipment to ensure the sound quality and accuracy of description.

We aim to describe all records as accurately as possible, and offer a full refund on return if for any reason you are not completely happy with the item description.

VINYL SOUND - PLEASE NOTE:

Highest quality vinyl with clear sound is rare, and what we always aim for. We only sell records that play with TOP AUDIO performance; super clear sound uninterrupted by hiss or other interference. Even with the cleanest pressing you will find occasional static or occasional light tics during playback, caused by a build of dust in the grooves. This is clearly different from the distortion, loud pops, repeating tics or clicks that are found on heavily played and worn pieces of vinyl. Any static build up will reduce when played, and we advise a light clean between plays for optimal performance.
