     Here is a very rare Beatles item. It is a Double LP consisting of "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper" in gatefold form! This was released in Russia only, as far as I know.
    The left side of the double LP is "Revolver," and it should be extremely interesting to Beatles collectors, as the cover was greatly modified for Russian release. When you first look at the cover it may seem to be just a copy of what was used in the U.S., the UK and the rest of the world, but NO! The Russians changed DOZENS of the small images in the Beatles' hair and all around that cover. An obvious example is that in all other countries, the George Harrison image shown here is Not standing on top of the large George Harrison head to the right of the cover in front of John's face. There are many more like that. It would be interesting if someone would list how many differences there are between this cover and all other covers from around the world.
    I play tested some of the sound of this disc and it played Mint!! The cover of the "Revolver" half is in Mint condition.
    The right side of the package, the "Sgt. Pepper" half is also interesting in that the drum at the center of the cover has  "Sgt. Peppers....." all in Russian! Other than that, I cannot see any difference in the cover vs, all other Sgt. Pepper covers from around the world. There is no Sgt. Pepper cutout with this Russian version. However there is a separate full sized insert that is the key to the  names all of the characters on the cover. (See photos) However, all of their names here are in Russian! The flip side of the key appears to be a full page of information about the Beatles, but it also is all in Russian!

   I play tested some of the Sgt. Pepper disc and it played in Mint condition. The cover has some wear, unlike the "Revolver" cover and so it is just barely in Near Mint condition.
   This is certainly a Beatles rarity, suitable for any Beatles collection!
