** PLEASE CHECK MY ADDITION ITEMS**
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 and it would appear without the knowledge of George Martin) 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 which was issued 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’ 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Exactly how many were pressed before the album was withdrawn is not known but judging by the stamping codes, production ceased very early on in the production cycle and certainly before the release date of August 5th 1966. Some rumours suggest that they were pressed only on the first morning of production. Whether EMI destroyed copies of the album and released some by error is not known but the inconsistency in the stamping codes (which I have extensively researched) on the records that have survived would suggest that many copies were 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 version to one of the greatest and most seminal Beatles tracks of all time.

Grading
Vinyl - VG
The vinyl sits perfectly flat and plays through both sides without any major issues. There are a number of hairlines and some shuffle marks each side but nothing deep or nasty. There is no repetative clicking, no jumping or skipping. Some light background noise, nothing overpowering to the audio and more so between tracks and quieter parts. The odd click/pop here and there. Visually a VG but does play better. The audio has no major issues and is a pleasure to listen too.
Sleeve - VG+
The front laminated and cardboard flip back sleeve printed by Garrod and Lofthouse has no rips, writing or seam splits. Some edge/corner wear and a little age toning. COmes with original "patents applied for" plain white inner sleeve
Labels - VG/VG+
A small scuff on the A-Side but no rips or writing. Some faint spindle lines.
