Vinyl:
QUALITY  HEAVYWEIGHT 158g
VG.
 There are just faint and light marks to both sides...REALLY NOT WORTH WORRYING ABOUT AT ALL.
I have just listened to the album...GORGEOUS, DEEP AND RICH SOUND RE-PRODUCTION....WHAT AN ALBUM!!
Even the run-ins were lovely and quiet-as you can hear in the audio clip provided.
There is only a tiny amount of very OCCASIONAL background noise...but nothing offensive at all...Yellow submarine had a light revolutionary pop and there were a few other short lived, but light pops throughout playback....It just reminded me I am listening to a slab of vinyl from 57 years ago and not an MP3 from 57 minutes ago ;)
Superb original sound, lovely and flat and retains it's lovely shine.
*NOTHING TO MAKE HER JUMP OR SKIP*
Rich bass.
QUALITY HEAVY VINYL-TURN IT UP!
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
HEAVY VINYL!!!
QUALITY SOUND REPRODUCTION

*THIS IS A SUPERB, HEAVYWEIGHT, PLAYED BUT WELL LOOKED AFTER SLAB OF ORIGINAL VINYL*


Labels:
EX
 All in accordance with the re-released 1st press:
"SOLD IN THE U.K." central text.
"THE GRAMOPHONE CO.." rim text.
 There are light spindle marks-visible when angled towards the light with some hole central wear too.
 
NO WRITING

'KT' Tax code to side 1 label.

"DR ROBERT" on the side two label....Which is unusual for these text-wrapped labels...

***NOW, HERE'S THE UNUSUAL BIT.....The side 1 label has the 'New Times Roman' typeface, rather than the blocked typeface
BUT THAT ISN'T THE ONLY UNUSUAL PART....The track listing follows on from the end of each credit, rather than listing from the left to right normal way-Have a look at the copy you've got and see the difference-This is more of a wrap around listing to the label...VERY RARELY SEEN...
Taxman and Eleanor Rigby on the same first line.
ALSO HAS A LARGER CATALOGUE NUMBER
 With side 2 having the block typeface...So this is a really rather rare transitional pressing.
Please see the detailed photo's.


Sleeve:
EX!!
SOLID and STRONG
There are only a handful of small fingers of spidering near the opening, as well as some small lines eminating from the spine.
The cover has just some light discolouration through age, which can be seen in the detailed images provided.
The corners are INCREDIBLY strong with just light knocks.
Superbly strong, clean and rounded Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
WONDERFULLY strong, uncrushed spine...CLEARLY stating the album title.

BRIGHT WHITE "REVOLVER" title to the back card.

It has the text to the bottom right corner to the back flipback:
 "PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD. PATENTS PENDING"



Inner:
EX.
It is the ORIGINAL 'USE EMITEX' inner in top shape.
NO SPLITS
NO WRITING
Also carries the 'MADE IN ENGLAND' text at the bottom right of one side.
Small splodge of something on one side.
Certainly done her job in keeping this record in great condition.
(A collectors piece in it's own right!)


GRAB THIS LITTLE BEAUTY FOR IT'S QUALITY WEIGHT, SOLID CONDITION THROUGHT AND GREAT SOUND.
NOT FORGETTING THE UNUSUAL TEXT-WRAPPING LABEL AND ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER....
