FULLY PLAY TESTED. ABSOLUTELY NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKING. VG+ AUDIO.


THE BEATLES: Revolver Vinyl LP 1966 MONO 1966. XEX 605-2 & 606-3. Original White ‘Patents Applied For’/Made In Great Britain Inner. Audio is minimum VG+, as is the inner, whilst the G&L flip-back sleeve is VG.



AUDIO: VG+


The audio is minimum VG+, and approaching excellent for the most part. Some static/crackle and surface noise intermittently, though mostly confined to the run-ins on either side, and between songs. Nothing to spoil the audio experience of what many critics consider to be one of the greatest albums ever made.


VINYL APPEARANCE: VG+


The vinyl has some light surface marks/hairlines/scratches, as you’d expect from a near 60yr old record of this grading, but retains a deep sheen, with certainly no feelable marks, or anything that interferes with playback.



The vinyl has a black label with yellow Parlophone logo and silver print. ‘Gramo Co Ltd’ perimeter print, and ‘Sold In U.K.’ text. This pressing is housed in the original plain white inner, in VG+condition. KT tax code embossed to side 2, with XEX 605-2 & XEX 606-3 matrix numbers, indicative of the 2nd mono press. It has the incorrect ‘Dr. Robert’ text to side 2, and ‘Dr. Robert’ to the sleeve, with sans serif Arial typeset, with each song title starting on a new line, with each song title followed by song credits, then lead vocalist.

Early editions of this album, were housed either in an EMI advertising inner, or plain white ‘Made In Great Britain’ ‘Patents Applied For’. This is the latter, and other than some yellowing due to age, is in VG+/Excellent condition. There are no rips/tares, just a little creasing/ringing.
