Dead Wax Matrix: UAS 6539 1A
The "1A" inscription in the dead wax (run-out groove) indicates that your copy is an original first pressing.What This Matrix Code Tells You:First Master Cut: The "1" means this side was made from the very first lacquer master disc cut in the mastering studio.First Mother/Stamper Run: The "A" identifies the specific internal production sequence (the mother or stamper generation) utilized at the pressing plant to form the vinyl grooves.1966 Precision: Since this album was released in late 1966, a "1A" confirmation indicates your record was printed right at the start of production.
This specific record holds notable value for collectors due to a unique blend of Beatles lore, historic timing, and cross-over track anomalies.
The "Revolver" Connection & Historical Timing: George Martin recorded this album immediately following the grueling studio sessions for the Beatles' seminal August 1966 masterpiece, "Revolver." Because he used the exact same orchestral concepts, creative energy, and firsthand familiarity with those freshly minted tracks, collectors view this LP as a direct audio extension of the Revolver era. It provides a pristine, high-fidelity window into how the "Fifth Beatle" interpreted his own production work for an orchestral space.
The Rarity of the Track "Woman": A massive selling point for Beatles completists is the inclusion of the song "Woman." This track was written by Paul McCartney but originally given to the pop duo Peter and Gordon under the pseudonym Bernard Webb to see if it would succeed without the "Lennon-McCartney" brand attached. George Martin's cover is highly sought after by collectors because it is one of the earliest and rarest contemporary instrumental renditions of this semi-hidden McCartney composition.
