Description
The Beatles "Revolver"
This is a Taiwan Import on CSJ 364. The album is originally from 1966. It is pressed on orange vinyl and it's in stereo. This album has a totally unique cover. It has the lyrics printed on the front and back cover with a pink background. There are no pictures or artwork on this cover. This record plays the same songs as on the UK issue.
The songs are : Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, Love You To, Here There And Everywhere, She Said She Said, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, Dr. Roberts, I Want To Tell You, Got To Get You Into My Life, and Tomorrow Never Knows.
What are Taiwan Imports and why should you buy one?? Taiwan imports are copies of US albums that were pressed without obeying copyright laws. They were pressed by small companies in Taiwan ( or Formosa ), in extremely limited numbers ( between 100 and 500 ). It was illegal to export them out of the country, so the only way they got out was from US servicemen who bought them there and then brought them back when they returned from overseas duty. Then they had to be sold to a used record store and then resold to a collector. There are many cover and label variations to watch for. Sometimes they are pressed on colored vinyl. Most of the time the front covers are poor quality copies. Many back covers are different or will have the lyrics printed, some with errors and typos. Sometimes there are album slicks from other albums inside the covers. The US record company logo is gone and a Chinese record company and record number are in it's place. All of their labels are unique with lots of Chinese character writing. The covers are made of paper which is sealed in very thin plastic, inside and outside. They are pressed on poor quality vinyl which plays with some static. They never note the country name on the cover or on the labels.
Overall Condition : Cover : G+ / Record : G-
The cover is G+. There are no seam splits and there is no writing. There is ring wear on the plastic cover with lots stretch marks in the plastic. The bottom corners have minor bends. The vinyl looks VG+ and it plays G-. That is because there is an EDGE WARP. The first two songs on each side can not be played. The rest of the record plays VG+. The labels are clean with light spindle marks.
I will package this record between two pieces of 1/2 inch thick cardboard. It's so thick that you will save it and use it again. It will weigh 17 ounces ( 1 pound, 1 ounce ) when ready to ship. You can figure out your own shipping costs for US Priority or Media Mail. It will be sent by First Class Mail International to overseas buyers. ( Buyers from Italy will assume all risks for shipping to their country ) I will send it as soon as you pay ( same day if before 2 PM and next day if after 2 PM). I will combine shipping if you win more than one record. This record is from a no smoking and no pets home.
Serious bidder only. If you bid you must be prepared to honor your bid. I expect payment within three days, but will wait up to 7 days, if you contact me. I no longer accept bids form buyers that have more than two strikes against them.
