AUCTION FOR THE RARE BEATLES REVOLVER ALBUM, THE 605-2 606-1 RELEASE WITH THE ALTERNATE "REMIX 11" TAKE OF TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS, ONLY AVAILABLE ON THE ORIGINAL MONO RELEASE WITH XEX 606-1 MATRIX ON SIDE 2.
THE STORY GOES THAT AS USUAL, THE FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BAND ALL RECEIVED THE FIRST COPIES OFF THE PRESS, AND ON LISTENING TO IT, JOHN LENNON DECIDED HE DIDNT LIKE REMIX 11 OF "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS" AND TOLD GEORGE MARTIN HE PREFERRED REMIX 8. PRODUCTION WAS CEASED IMMEDIATELY, NEW MASTERS AND LACQUERS PRODUCED, AND THE RUN CONTINUED WITH REMIX 8.
THE OTHER ANOMALIES ON THIS EARLY RELEASE ARE THAT THE SIDE TWO LABEL HAS "DR ROBERT" RATHER THAN THE LATER DOCTOR ROBERT, AND ALSO, EARLY LABELS HAVE EACH SONG TITLE FOLLOWED BY THE WRITERS CREDIT IN BRACKETS, AND THEN THE LEAD SINGERS AFTERWARDS. ALSO, SIDE TWO HAS THE "KT" TAX DUTY STAMP.
THIS RECORD HAS ALL OF THE ABOVE.
THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD, INTACT CONDITION. THE FRONT IS CLEAN AND GLOSSY, WITH SOME EDGE STAINING, AND SLIGHT CREASES TO SPINE SIDE. NO PEN MARKINGS OR STICKERS.
THE BACK IS CLEAN, WITH SOME RUB WEAR, NICE FLIPBACKS, MINIMAL RING WEAR, AND NO PEN MARKINGS OR STICKERS.
SPINE IS LEGIBLE, WITH MINIMAL CREASING.
ORIGINAL BRITISH PATENT NO. 800513 7 973939 POLY LINED INNER.
RECORD ITSELF IS IN GOOD, PLAYABLE CONDITION. THE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE CLEARLY READABLE, THERE IS SOME SPIDERING, AND WEAR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, BUT NO STICKERS OR WRITING.
THE MATRICES AND MOTHER/STAMPERS ARE"
SIDE ONE XEX 605-2 4 MM
SIDE TWO XEX 606-1 1 RO.
SIDE TWO HAS THE "KT" TAX CODE EMBOSSED AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.
SIDE TWO HAS SONG 4 TITLED AS "DR ROBERT" (SO DOES THE SLEEVE, AS IT SHOULD FOR THIS VERY EARLY, WITHDRAWN RELEASE).
BOTH SIDES OF THIS RECORD HAVE SURFACE MARKS AND SCUFFS BUT THE ONLY EFFECT ON PLAYBACK IS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND POP. THIS RECORD CAN BE FULLY ENJOYED FROM START TO FINISH, BOTH SIDES. (RECORD TESTED ON A HITACHI PS-38 DIRECT DRIVE, WITH A MEDIUM/HEAVY BIASED TONE ARM).
NOTHING MORE TO SAY REALLY, A NICE, COLLECTABLE RECORD, AND WHILST IT CAN NOT BE DESCRIBED AS MINT (I WOULD NEVER USE THAT TERM ANYWAY), IT IS IN VERY GOOD PLAYABLE CONDITION, WITH A NICE, CLEAN, INTACT SLEEVE.
RECORD WILL BE SENT SECURELY, IN A PURPOSE MADE LP MAILER.
