Hard to find "Revolver" mono label variation.


Revolver was issued in Canada in August, 1966, as the Beatles eleventh studio L.P.  It was released in both mono and stereo with early stereo pressings being less common.  All initial issues were pressed by Compo.

On a few very early, or perhaps the earliest mono pressings, the title "REVOLVER" on the label is in quotations.  There is no known copies of this label variation on stereo copies. 

As with most label changes transition copies exist with the "REVOLVER" label on one side and the revised REVOLVER on the other. 

On side 1 this label variation has two print errors. The first is the song title Taxman which is printed as Tax Man with a space. The second is track 3 which reads "Love You Too" when it should read "Love You To".    

This mono label variation is hard to find.  A estimate of the number of copies with this label variation would be a few thousand. The estimated value of a copy in excellent condition is between $60- $100.
