Description

1.First pressing, August 5, 1966. “Remix 11? mispressing.

 Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 have “Remix 11? of “Tomorrow Never Knows”.

 When “Revolver” was initially mixed a different master for “Tomorrow Never Knows” was sent off to be pressed. This mix is known as ‘Remix 11?. Although subtle, it is different to the standard ‘Remix 8? which was ultimately to replace it. The story goes that each group member was given the first copies from the production line and John went to listen to it. But, it turned out that he was unhappy with the mix or that the wrong one had been used and he informed George Martin. Production was then stopped as the new masters were cut and the pressing plates were replaced. First presses have a side 2 matrix number of XEX 606-1 whereas the standard presses have XEX 606-2 and beyond.

 

Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text.

 Plain white "made in great britain" inner sleeve. Side 1: XEX 605-1 or -2; Side 2: XEX 606-1.

This is how the labels first appeared on the shelves. Still using the sans serif Arial typeset. Also, these early labels misprint the side 2 track Doctor Robert as “Dr. Robert”.(See photo).

These early Sans-serif labels have each song title starting on a new line with the first line purely for “Taxman” and have “Eleanor Rigby” starting on the second line down. Also something to note on these original labels is that each song title was followed by song credits and then lead vocalist.

 

The condition of the cover is very good +, not excellent as it has in the top right hand corner on the back some initials and numbers (see photo)

The inner sleeve is very good + but has initials and numbers in top corner.

Disc is very good + with some surface marks that do not efferct the sound.

There is no stickers, labels or writing on the disc label.

 

Thanks for looking.
