The Beatles – Revolver 1966 – withdrawn 606-1 UK 1st pressing on the yellow & black Parlophone label. PMC 7009. Comes in its original 1st issue EJ Day sleeve.

The Beatles – Revolver, featuring the alternative mix of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’, not available anywhere else or on any other format, at all. 

An investment grade copy and one not to be missed!

The exact story behind why the wrong track came to be issued on such a seminal record is not entirely clear as its existence only came to light in the 1980’s. However it would appear that John Lennon had decided (with the benefit of hindsight), to replace ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ with an altogether different mix. For those collectors who are unaware, the track as it appears on this 606-1 pressing is significantly different to the one that appears on all later copies of the album. The seagull sounds are more intense and random, the track is longer and there is piano playing at the end of the track.

The song was seen by Lennon as a ground-breaking seminal piece of music, so it is understandable why he went to such lengths to have the track replaced on all later versions of the album. Exactly how many were pressed before the album was withdrawn is not known but judging by the stamping codes, production ceased very early on in the production cycle (I have only ever seen two digit stampers) and certainly before the release date of August 5th 1966. Whether EMI destroyed copies of the album and released some by error is not known but the inconsistency in the stamping codes on the records that have survived would suggest that many copies may have been destroyed and never found their way into the shops. The legacy of course is that collectors are left with a very rare pressing and an alternative mix of one of the greatest and most seminal Beatles tracks of all time.

Grading 

Vinyl - EX+

Beautiful vinyl. A lovely gloss and reflection each side. Top audio reproduction is loud, punchy and well balanced.

No hiss or crackle, no jumping or skipping. On the A side there are some very light, very wispy surface marks, looks like shuffle marks as opposed to scratches. They have absolutely no effect to play, you can't feel them at all and would have to reflect in bright natural light to see them. I have tried to show them in the photos but it's extremely hard but it's really nothing bad at all and looks worse than it is. The audio playback is incredible and free from any problems, issues, any loud and continuous hiss or crackle. Even between tracks just the slightest of light static can't be heard. No clicking or loud popping.

Sleeve - NM

A real stunner of a sleeve. Original front laminated and cardboard flip back sleeve. No rips or writing. No seem splits or repairs. Solid straight spine with no crushing. Edges are also straight and crisp. Very, very mild corner/edge wear, nothing bad or that noticeable at all. The sleeve is flat, smooth and clean. No writing and no rips at all. Stunning.

Both labels are free from rips or writing. Bright text is clearly visible with no issues.
