First pressing, August 5, 1966. “Remix 11” mispressing. Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 have “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.

Condition and details below:

Matrix / Runout (Side A runout variant 1): XEX 605-2
Matrix / Runout (Side B runout variant 1): XEX 606-1

The sleeve is intact, no writing, some laminate creases and marks , fairly clean though

The original black and white advertising inner is intact, great condition, some light staining and fading so VG (LP has been rehoused in a 'use emitex' lined inner for protection)

There are lots of innocuous marks on vinyl from past usage, still VG, and little impact on playback; the odd pop and crackle , mainly between tracks. On side one there is a more serious looking scuff around tracks 3/4 (can be seen in photos) , which causes a few scrapes; not intrusive though - All in all a good listen, no loud pops or jumps
...look at all the photos and watch/listen to the montage video....
