Why The Beatles Revolver 1st Mono Pressing was WITHDRAWN

[@LOEVALENTINE]

I just stumbled across your channel and now I’m binge watching and I just found out that I have this record in my collection (given from my grandads collection) I learnt some very interesting things in this video! Thank you!

[@ericgendell8874]

Tomorrow Never knows was the Beatle's greatest accomplishment, because perhaps more than any other song recorded, encapsulates the Tibetan Book of the Dead and is as close a representation of the Enlightened state of bliss as has ever been created in the human condition. The Beatles, George Martin and acid are pure genius, about as close to perfection as yet achieved.

[@timhubbard8895]

I am retiring from Karaoke shortly and I have a very close Karaoke version of Tomorrow Never Knows. As a parting shot I'm going to sing it! I have a pretty good Lennon voice and will do the song justice. I don't know, (or care) what others might think when they get exposed to it!! Ha! ha! ha!!

Tomorrow Never Knows is a great song I agree. But the best Beatles song ever is a day in the life!

This is a wonderful summary, thank you for this! One other bit to add to the story; according to the late Bruce Hamlin ("Beatles Bruce" - the Beatles vinyl guru of Australia), there were some XEX 606-1 copies pressed in Australia. He believed this was due to the shipment of metal parts from the UK to Australia after the UK presses were exhausted. A similar thing happened for the Rubber Soul 'Loud Mix' where the the 579-1 and 580-1 stampers were retired early, but somehow Australia kept stamping them out for some time afterward. I hope this helps and even inspires another great video, cheers!

I'll put my two penneth in here, which ties in somewhat with the comments at 9.53 (ish). During 1992 / 93 I had an advert in the local Coventry papers advertising for records wanted, as I wanted to set up a record selling business. By 1993 I'd built up a fair stash of 50s / 60s records, including multiple copies of most Parlophone Beatles albums. Being a fan since childhood I often played those Beatle spares, and one day in 92 / 93 I played a copy of 'Revolver' I'd bought. When 'Tomorrow Never Knows' came on it very soon became apparent it was different to my own copy, accenuated effects etc and then the longer fade out and I thought wow! I mentioned this to some of the major dealers at the NEC record Fair in 93, such as Neil Roddis and Peter Rice, who didn't know of any different mix. Not very long after I remember it making the news page in Record Collector mag or the new RC Price Guide I'm not sure which, so hey it could've been me who first mentioned it to a dealer and it got to RC!

[@PaulinaAngel]

WoW, now I’m curious to hear that mix. Surprised Mark Lewisohn didn’t go in-depth on it in his book. Your videos are truly a great resource, marvelous job!!

[@Parlogram]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it.

[@OldMod67]

Really enjoyed this, thanks. I got my stereo copy from my order brother in 1979 (black/silver label) but in 1980 my eldest brother's mate taped four of his original Beatles LPs for me. A very pleased 13 year old, three of them were mono editions. A couple of years later I picked up a sixties mono copy, and then discovered this mix difference. The taped copy was from the withdrawn mix. Wish I'd known that in 1980, I would have made him an offer!

[@scottsteele7109]

After seeing this I looked at my Revolver albums. I have one on Odeon from Venezuela with this same XEX 606-1 in the run out. I never really noticed the song being different, but on listening it does seem to fit what he describes. The album is in average condition but is from South America. Is this worth anything other than being a curio? I agree that this presentation was well done and interesting, excellent story and factual explanation. More of these kind of stories please! It isn't every day there is new info on the most studied and scrutinized band in the world.

[@MattHayesVinyl]

Finally picked up a 606-1 a few weeks ago. The condition is okay... a bit noisy but plays without skipping. It was also a really good price so can't complain! The mix of Tomorrow Never Knows is an interesting one, especially the extra piano near the end. In terms of the *quality* of the mix, you're not missing anything if you don't have a 606-1. It's a nice collector's piece and worth hearing remix 11 of TNK but it's not the be all end all.

[@Parlogram]

Nice one, Matt!

[@jonathanyork8977]

Thank you. You've finally cleared up that mystery for me! I'm still waiting for a remix/ boxset so hopefully we can hear the different mixes. Since it's my favourite lp of all time! And an edit was done on both mono and stereo mixes of Doctor Robert. What was cut out?

[@fbt25]

It's being bootlegged mostly on coloured vinyl. Sounds great for a bootleg. Cover and labels are copies from the earliest brazilian edition.

Andrew, I missed this episode. Fantastic information as always. Thank you.

[@BogoEN]

I was just looking for general info on the Revolver sessions and came across your video - turns out I have this pressing! Never knew!! So excited to go and listen 😃😃😃

[@jacquescousteau217]

Andrew your knowledge in respect to Beatles recordings amazes me to no end. I thought that I knew just about everything there was to know about the UK pressings on Parlophone,and Apple. I knew how to read the matrices, mothers,and stampers as well as label variations from 1963-1969-70 . I have no idea how Parlogram came up on my screen as something other than a seller of very good condition Beatles albums - I didn’t get into the forty fives - I know I had bought at least one or two albums from Parlogram over a few years , but generally I had Beatles UK albums given to me going back to the lste sixties ,early seventies . I can’t recall which episode I first saw where you were commenting on a given Beatles recording, but I was apparently impressed enough to watch your videos in the future . This is 10-7-2022 now. You put me to shame . The minutiae you get into is mind boggling . It looks like you have a Studer - Revox behind you possibly an A 77 ? - Great machine I Alison once owned a twin track - but there was one that looked like an older Studer as well. There is no one I can think of - even Mike Fremer whom I used to send rarer pressing UK Beatles albums to critique on his possibly million dollar playback system - He’s very opinionated,and not a musician, but he does have a good ear . The one album he wanted to buy from me was Please ,Please Me Decca pressing . Sorry I digress . In any event you have an encyclopedic knowledge that no one else has. The fact that you certainly must have a very good playback system is obvious by your comments . Have you thought of showing your playback system or explaining to people what exactly what system components you’re using to listen to playbacks on ? One other issue . Maybe consider playing back your first episode , I’m sure many would like to see how your show has evolved over time . Lastly . I just had a dental appointment,and the doctor gave me a strong analgesic-opioid- which makes one rather verbose . My apologies. Ps. Spizer gets a hands down from me

Besides the very interesting story (until now unknown to me), I am a fan of your laid back presentation of the facts.

[@bengtl331]

I found this when visiting a classic car exhibition in the mid 1990's. A vendor there had a few records and among them a UK mono Revolver. The alternate mix of TMK was not well known among collectors at the time but somehow I did know. He wanted the equivalent of 10 pounds for it, which was just about what I had in cash on me. Couldn't wait to get home and play it. The original owner had written his name and a date on the back side upper flap, he had bought it in Gothenburg, Sweden, in early August 1966, so some copies were sold outside the UK. Fortunately it sounded great, still have it. Mother / stamper on my copy is 1 / AT.

This is definitely a new fact to me, and it explains a bootleg "rarities" CD I bought years ago! One of the tracks was an odd version of 'Tomorrow Never Knows" which I now realize is this original mono pressing version. When I first heard it, I assumed it was either the mono version of the song (since I mostly know the stereo Beatles) or otherwise some outtake version. I had no idea it was an obscure pressing! Thanks for the great info!

[@GustavoLovato]

How I wish the fair use copyright rules on KZbin would allow you to play segments of the two to highlight the differences.

[@Parlogram]

Good question, Gustavo.

[@GustavoLovato]

Parlogram Auctions it makes no sense. Movie analysis channels can share entire scenes by Kubrick to break them down for educational purposes and the studios rightly understand that that should be encouraged. Why the music industry is so far behind and near-sighted is both a mystery and a shame. So many great music channels are needlessly limited and their content crippled for absolutely no good reason. I remain hopeful that things will change in the future.

[@Parlogram]

I agree with you 100%, Gustavo.

[@RunOfTheHind]

He could always forego the £ and play them, if he wanted to educate.

[@GustavoLovato]

Geoffreygeefresh95 it’s not that simple, unfortunately. He risks his entire video taken down, and getting a strike against his channel. If getting the video demonetized were the worse thing that can happen, many KZbin channels would go ahead and educate anyway. Even people like Rick Beato, who is totally ok with his videos getting demonetized, can’t use fragments of songs, especially from The Beatles, The Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and a few others. The videos get blocked every time.

Back in 1980 when living in NYC, there was a record store in Greenwich Village called Bleeker Blobs. They sold used copies of the Beatles UK mono albums for $20 each. Of course that was before EMI re-released the mono albums a couple of years later. Revolver was one of the albums I bought but I didn't find out about remix-11 till about the year 2005. I decided to check the matrix number on side 2 and sure enough that was number. For over 20 years I did not realize I had a collector's item.

Those red chairs were interesting in themselves , even though some of them were showing their age I loved the explanation that the reason they kept them was that they didn’t make any unwanted “farting” noises when they were sat upon and intrude upon the recording process , once your made aware of them you can’t help yourself but notice them in the background of any Abbey road studio photos....and not to mention the audience participation in re-creating the famous last chord of “Day in the Life” on the very pianos that made it happen...that was thrilling to hear.

If I remember it right it must have been around 1985 I bought my first mono copy of Revolver. VG+ for about £9 at the time. Took me into the 90's (when I bought my NM second copy) that they were different:). The first one was the xex 606-1. Bad ears....

[@48musicfan]

Thank you! Very informative.👍👍

[@bigboxbobby2]

I have a German Stereo pressing on the Odeon label, SMO 74 161, with the Matrix numbers YEX 605-1 side one and YEX 606-1 side two, no stampers than I can see. This was kindly given to me by my wife aunt who lived in Madeira but she cant remember where they got it from! Is this the version you are talking about or is it just mono? Love these Videos, keep em coming please....

[@Parlogram]

This version is only on the UK mono 1st pressing. 'Revolver' wasn't issued in mono in Germany. The last mono release there was 'A Hard Day's Night'.

[@bigboxbobby2]

Ok thanks for info.

[@Musicradio77Network]

Parlogram Auctions The US version on the Capitol label has the matrix number of “T-2-2576” on side 2. Right?

[@mathijsdijkgraaf8081]

Great video! Keep up the good work!

[@Parlogram]

Thanks, will do!

[@ferabra8939]

It's in the 2022 box set, thank god...I'm anxiously waiting for october 28th...

[@kiethblack3870]

I have a Parlophone LP (a compilation) that has the 'high hat' intro on 'All My Loving'. Has anyone heard about this before? I've liked the Beatles since 1973. I was 4 & my brother bought those 2 'Red' & 'Blue' cassettes. A huge fan since -- but I have never heard of this mix of of Tomorrow Never knows before.

[@ronmartin4212]

It is a Nordic copy of the Odeon Beatles Greatest German lp that is the Parlophone equivalent.The mix is included in the Capiphone project,next year!!!

[@TheTigersfan20]

There used to be a video of remix 11 on KZbin, but sadly it’s been taken down. Hoping to add the -1 to my collection one day!

[@Parlogram]

That must have been ours but it was taken down.

[@Fordham1969]

Just a minor point, the orchestral chord tape loop definitely doesn't sound like a minor chord, when listening to it in isolation it appears to vacillate between a Bb major and Bbsus chord.

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

Are the mixes of the Revolver tracks that appeared on ‘Yesterday & Today’ album unique to that album? Other You Tube presentations are presuming they won’t appear on the upcoming ‘Revolver’ boxset.

[@Parlogram]

'I'm Only Sleeping' certainly is and won't be on the new box set.

[@ronmartin89]

There is a 2nd mix on the Modernisms lp/CD stereo,for a 2nd stereo mix,in the Capiphone project,too!!!

[@markgodfrey6347]

Got me checking my collection, found these, my BM-1 mono box set has XEX-606-4 (side 2), XEX-605-5 (side 1), my Singapore stereo on side one has "Your Mother Should Know" instead of "Yellow Submarine", my Japan red vinyl mono has XEX-606-M (side 2), XEX-605-M (side 1), best is my New Zealand Box set all LP's are in stereo except Revolver and Sgt. Peppers. Revolver is XEX-606-1 (side 2), XEX-605-1 (side 1) What do you think?

[@markgodfrey6347]

I was wrong the NZ LP's are stereo, they just don't say on the label's. The BM-1 box is 605-3 side 1. Why do the mono an stereo LP's carry the same XEX-606-1 and 605-1. I get confused when looking at all this stuff.

Muy interesante... Saludos cordiales desde la hermosa Cd. de Cortazar, Gto. Mex.

[@timothyflyte9443]

I have a boot cd of this pressing.

[@axiomist4488]

Where did you get this Revolver album? Those are not the songs in it except Tomorrow .and Good Day Sunshine .

[@user-hu4gr1bo5g]

Tomorrow Never Knew!!! I surely did not.

[@45sandlps]

I have just checked my New Zealand copy which is Stereo on the Apple Label so obviously a later copy right, but the Matrix reads YEX 606-1, the piano does linger last but I can't compare it to anything else. NZ had their own plants and I don't know the relationship to the Australian ones or mother Britain. I just thought it was info you could collect.

[@Parlogram]

The alternate mix only appears on the mono pressing.

[@garam6555]

..i'm a bit late to these comments, as a teenager in the 60's i bought every beatles LP, my '66 new zealand pressed revolver on parlophone is mono with: (YEX.605), (YEX.606) on the label. the runout scratchings are: PCS7009A, PCS7009B. the record and cover are still near mint, unfortunately i gave my turntable to a young vinyl enthusiast and she is reluctant to give it back

[@clevebaker8399]

Revolver is really the apex of Beatles music! Though every lp is my favorite 🥴😜😉😘

[@MrRedinator_]

Update: So, it seems that the RM11 mix is finally getting officially released with the super deluxe edition of Revolver.

[@Parlogram]

Finally!

Hi Andrew, Just finished watching this video. As Mr. Spock from Star Trek would say "Fascinating! !". I have something else to search for now. Thanks again for the stellar information. Mark Anthony K Projekt Gemineye

[@Parlogram]

Thanks again, Mark .Hope you manage to track one down for your collection. Spock, out.

[@dustincampbell5170]

Can someone help to explain stampers for this pressing? I have (or will havee soon) 2 pressings of this disc and am curious to know how to identify the meaning of the stampers.

[@KevinTheCaravanner]

Why was the dash one mix replaced with dash two? What was wrong with dash one? Andrew said George Martin made the phone call. Was it George’s decision to make the change or was it the Beatles?

[@johnnytheg]

I finally got my hands on an original UK mint version of XEX 606-1and I just did a side by side comparison with the normal mono version (RM8). Some of the differences include; RM 11 doesn't have the cool effect on the guitar solo that the regular mono version has and RM 11 doesn't have the last phrase of the guitar solo as well. It is drowned out by the effects. Also, not only is John's voice louder in RM 11, but the effects are also much louder.

[@Parlogram]

Congratulations, John!

[@ronmartin89]

Don't have my Parlis anymore.Had to sell everything.Will work on debuting it all.Getting ready to pick up a sweet copy of Twist And Shout(never had a mint one-this ones about as close to mint as I've ever seen or had)Canadian Capitol colorband copy!!!With the Red print Capitol/Pathe inner sleeve-And is the Feb'64,without the parenthesis on the perimeter print around the word Canada.

[@madvinylnyc7821]

Very informative video. I was sent the wrong version of Revolver. Any idea which pressing it is? I don’t see it on discogs. The runout are XEX 605-2 RLH and XEX 606-3 RLA. Cheers!!!

[@Parlogram]

You have a 2nd pressing.

[@madvinylnyc7821]

@@Parlogram much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Salute from NYC

[@madvinylnyc7821]

@@Parlogram do you consider second presses to be represses?

[@blackvinylgrooves]

Would you ever want to do an overview of Geoff Emerick, and his post-Beatles work?

[@bodensick]

Every fan of Revolver should thank the late, great engineer Geoff Emerick. When it comes to Tomorrow Never Knows, George had very little to do with the production...it was all Emerick. In Emerick's book, Here There and Everywhere, Geoff recounts how John told George about the sound he was after...George then told Emerick to produce that sound. Geoff's mastery of special effects on recorded sound was very prominent on the recording of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

[@PeteUnlimited]

I am glad to have mono UK side 1/-2 and side 2 /-3

[@harryfitzgerald26]

great video! i have a copy myself it has a slight warp but still plays through but has lots of surface marks and gets stuck on for no one and makes a loud noise on she said she said. the sleeve is in great condition though and tomorrow never knows sounds beautiful. how much do you reckon this is worth?!

[@Parlogram]

I'd say your copy is worth around £50. Thanks for watching!
