Description
This is the original first pressing (XEX 606-1) BEATLES MONO UK LP "REVOLVER" published in 1966 with the yellow and black label.
This first pressing famously contains the long (original) version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" and is not available on any other recorded media.
On offer is a very rare 1966 UK mono 1st Pressing that was withdrawn very quickly.
This example is the rare 606-1 mono 1st pressing with the wrong mix of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. This mix is known as "Remix 11".
John Lennon insisted this pressing was withdrawn as he didn't like the mix used for this track.
It is the earliest 1st pressing produced way before the release date with the rare XEX - 606 -1 side two mono matrix - only a very few copies made it to the shops before the pressing was changed.
Personally I think the 'Tomorrow Never Knows' track sounds better than the replacement mix - the seagull type effects are far more more prominent and the piano ending is also longer - there are of course other more subtle differences.
In addition to the above the 1st pressings listed DR. ROBERT as 'DR.' whilst the later versions listed it as DOCTOR ROBERT. This copy lists DR. ROBERT on both the side 2 label and the cover.
This copy also has the GARRARD & LOFTHOUSE printed cover whilst more common later pressings have the ERNEST J. DAY & CO.LTD printed cover.
So there can be no doubt that this is a copy of the earliest and rarest mono 1st pressing you can buy.
