The Beatles – Revolver 1966 – withdrawn 606-1 UK 1st pressing on the yellow & black Parlophone label. PMC 7009. Comes in its original 1st issue Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve.

I am pleased to offer for sale yet another copy of this highly collectable and stunning copy of a 606-1 matrix pressing of The Beatles – Revolver, featuring the alternative mix of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’, not available anywhere else or on any other format.

An investment grade copy and one not to be missed!

The exact story behind why the wrong track came to be issued on such a seminal record is not entirely clear as its existence only came to light in the 1980’s. However it would appear that John Lennon had decided (with the benefit of hindsight), to replace ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ with an altogether different mix. For those collectors who are unaware, the track as it appears on this 606-1 pressing is significantly different to the one that appears on all later copies of the album. The seagull sounds are more intense and random, the track is longer and there is piano playing at the end of the track.

The song was seen by Lennon as a ground-breaking seminal piece of music, so it is understandable why he went to such lengths to have the track replaced on all later versions of the album. Exactly how many were pressed before the album was withdrawn is not known but judging by the stamping codes, production ceased very early on in the production cycle (I have only ever seen two digit stampers) and certainly before the release date of August 5th 1966. Whether EMI destroyed copies of the album and released some by error is not known but the inconsistency in the stamping codes on the records that have survived would suggest that many copies may have been destroyed and never found their way into the shops. The legacy of course is that collectors are left with a very rare pressing and an alternative mix of one of the greatest and most seminal Beatles tracks of all time.

Happy Bidding and good luck!

Grading 

Vinyl - EX

Lovely glossy vinyl both sides provide top audio reproduction. The audio is loud, clear, well pressed/balanced and uninterrupted by any hiss/crackle or clicking. If you didn't look at the vinyl you would think it's a close NM but it has just a couple of very, very light surface marks which causes NO clicking or effect to audio at all on B side. Shown in pics but really nothin to be concern with, they are nearly visual marks and have no effect to play. Under bright light, say the kitchen light, just minor and barley visible wispy marks can just be seen. On first inspection the vinyl pops out at you with it's bright labels and reflective glossy sheen. This vinyl is super rare in any condition but to have one in such amazing condition/audio is such a delight to own, and very hard to let go.
