BEATLES "REVOLVER"
ORIGINAL AND RARE 1966 MONO 1ST PRESSING.
RELEASED AUGUST 5TH 1966 "REVOLVER" WAS THE BEATLES SEVENTH UK ALBUM RELEASE.
THE ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE TITLED "ABRACADABRA" UNTIL IT WAS DESCOVERED THAT THIS TITLE WAS ALREADY IN USE.

THE DAY THE ALBUM WAS PRESSED IT WAS DECIDED THAT ANOTHER VERSION OF "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS" WAS PREFERED TO THE ONE ALREADY CHOSEN TO APPEAR ON THE ALBUM, THE PRESSING WAS STOPPED AND THE TRACK WAS CHANGED, HOWEVER A LIMITED NUMBER OF ALBUMS HAD BEEN PRESSED AND THESE WHERE SENT OUT TO THE SHOPS ALONG WITH THE CORRECTED VERSION.
THESE "MISPRESSED" VERSIONS CARRY THE 606-1 MATRIX NUMBER..... THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THE MONO PRESSINGS AND NOT THE STEREO VERSION OF THIS ALBUM.
