I am no record grading expert but I will describe this album the best I can... 

Title : The Beatles - Revolver

Label & year : PARLOPHONE PMC 7009 LP , UK MONO 1966 RARE EARLY MISPRESSED "REMIX 11" 1st Press! 

Matrix's : Side A : XEX 605-1, Side B : XEX 606-1,

Musicians : John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and George Martin (Producer)  

Revolver, Parlophone, PMC 7009, August 5, 1966, mono. Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. or Ernest J.Day & Co. front laminated flipback cover with small “mono” on the front and with “Dr. Robert” (early variation) or “Doctor Robert” song credit on the back side.

1.First pressing, August 5, 1966. “Remix 11” mispressing. Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 has “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 or sepia “LP advertising” inner sleeves. With or without KT tax code on the label. Matrix numbers: 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”. 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.

About :  

Rare 1966 mispressed UK 1st press!!! 

Labels : 

All sides are very good with no real signs of age, no writing, no stickers or tears. There's a small amount of light spindle marks. Both of the labels are in very good condition overall. 

Record : (Visual) 

Original 1966 UK 1st Pressing. Nice bright, clean and shiny vinyl. Both of the record surfaces look ok considering the conditions it's been subjected to with quite a few light scratches and scuffs. A few hairlines, scuffs/age related marks is not bad for a once neglected record that is 52 years old.

Record : (Audio)

It still plays ok(ish). The first side of the record plays with no sticks but quite a few skips on 2 of the tracks, the second side plays with no sticks or skips. Like pretty much most records there's light crackles/ticks. There's light "bluesman's fag" atmospheric static in places such as on some of the quieter sections, as well as the run in grooves and in-between tracks. The majority of the tracks are quite clear with that bass, depth, warmth and clarity that you can only get from a first pressing. 

***Checked using a Garrard 401 turntable with Decca FFS Professional tone arm and Decca FFS Mk.III Elliptical cartridge wired to Yamaha DSP-AX863SE amplifier*** 

Sleeve : 

Original mispressed 1st press laminated flipback Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. sleeve with signs of lots of handling and looks to have been in a damp environment at some point as it's somewhat mishaped, the spine is still fairly good and just about readable. The original inner is present and has suffered some from the damp too.

Summary : A truly rare classic mispressed and misprinted 1st Press LP!!!
