REVOLVER UK - MONO - 1st PRESSING - 1966
AUCTION ONLY - HIGHEST BID WINS - THANK YOU
Please note: Depending upon where you live, ebay might automatically add import duty to your winning bid.
If you are in a hurry, here is a quick summary: Disc delivers very good sound quality.
If you have more time, a detailed description follows, where you'll find my honest appraisal of every item but please bear in mind that vinyl records were bought to be played, not put away in a cupboard. I offer original Beatles U.K. pressings, now between fifty and sixty years old, in excellent, collectible condition but they have been played and therefore, will never be mint. Please click on my score right now and read the feedback comments:
=====================================================================================
THE DISC
Matrices: XEX 605-2 / XEX 606-1 Stampers: 5-RM / 1-OR
AUDIO - VG/VG+
This is probably a cautious grading, as the sound quality is loud and clear throughout. Apart from just three notable intrusions the whole album plays through without any issues and there are no skips or stalls. There is background crackle, which is completely drowned out by the tracks. Side one has a few rotational clicks in the deadwax between 1-2 and a few very mild 'ticks' between 3-4 but the tracks are largely unaffected. Side 2 has very gentle rotational 'ticks' throughout the first track but the rest play just fine. This is still a great sounding copy and of course, is very collectible.
Please note: Many sellers just use Good, or VG, or condition is used, and like me, you might be tempted to buy the record. However, it will almost always have lots of clicks and pops throughout, maybe even the odd skip. This disc is as I've described it and all the tracks play without any real issues, except 'Good Day Sunshine' which does have very mild rotational 'ticks' throughout, but nothing too irritating. Absolutely no skips or stalls and only mild background crackle. The songs sound brilliant!
VISUALLY - GOOD+
Again, I want to be cautious with the grading. This copy has been played and not handled with care. There are numerous lines/marks on both sides and when you look at them, you would not expect to hear the audio quality that comes from this disc. If this doesn't bother you, then fine, but I know that it might be an issue for some. It is just a typical example of a teenager's copy. =====================================================================================
THE COVER - VG
A solid example, with no major problems. The front panel has 'browned' around the edges, and the back similarly on the flip backs. The spine is near perfect. The photos show its condition best.
=====================================================================================
THE INNER SLEEVE - GOOD
A genuine original 1st issue with the earliest 'patents applied for' text. It is heavily age toned and has a bottom seam split. I will put the disc into a modern, lined inner, but it is still nice to have the original bag too.
====================================================================
The photos are of the actual item. I always use professional, anti-static, cleaning fluid and listen to the whole disc. Professional mailers are always used.
I will be listing more Beatles records, so please have a look
