READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

Beatles LP Revolver 1966 First Pressing STEREO CONSIGNMENT In Shrink, NM!

As we know, in 1966, MONO was still outselling STEREO 4 to 1.  Therefore, first-pressing stereo copies are scarcer, and consigned pressings even more so.  This is an outstanding NM copy of the STEREO Columbia pressing, still in the shrinkwrap.

Vinyl--- NM/ NM.  Both sides shine, just like 1966-brand new.  One very light hairline per side.

Plates--- W9/ W7.  Thin-cut concentric groove closer to the outer edge of the labels come from Columbia lathes. 

Cover--- EX.  There is a small amount of browning at the top right corner, and some clouding on the back cover at the top left.  Other than that, all seams are 100% muscular strong.  All white areas still white as the day the cover was printed.  VERY nice cover!

Breathe Holes--- There are two breathe holes on the front cover.  One is above John’s eye, and the other is due south, above George’s eye.

Labels--- NM/ NM.  Bold, colorful and 100% gloss!  Songwriting credits list first and last names.

Capitol Inner Sleeve--- Original yellow Capitol inner sleeve is present and in VG+ condition.  One tiny side seam split, bottom center seam split about two inches long.

A generic inner sleeve will be provided, so as not to damage your original Capitol inner sleeve en route.

RIAA: None.

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

Note:  All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
