    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.

    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!!

    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!

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 The taped copy was from the withdrawn mix.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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

I hunted down the 2014 monos for my 4 favorite albums and am filling in the rest from the 2012 stereo releases. Even digitally sourced, they sound great to my ears. Any chance of a video about the 2012 remasters? Your videos are very informative and fascinating to watch.

    Andrew, love your commentary--as always! I prefer remix 11 myself, although it's fun to have 8 as an alternative (at least, that's how I view it--in reality, it's the reverse). Why in god's name was 11 not included in Mono Masters--I mean, if you're gonna include the 45 of Love Me Do??? However, as a musician, I gotta correct something about the 2nd tape loop--it's a g minor chord, not b-flat minor.

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.

    Part of me thinks this is digging way too deeply into minor differences (much as when I bought the American "Beatles Rarities" LP long ago). The interesting part is: a) how it was so important to get a specific version with minor differences, b) how much work went into making the LP itself after the recording was done, and c) that I watched the entire video and was thoroughly entertained.

    Blimey! So I went to check my mono copy, which I bought second hand (because I couldn’t afford a new one as a 13 year old) around 1975 and there it is XEX-606-1. I grew up listening to mono versions of most of The Beatles output, so after the diabolical first CD versions came out I was delighted that the collection was remastered properly in 2009 and finally digital versions of the songs sounded right to me. However, I was unaware of this withdrawn mix on my old mono LP, the 2009 remix, was one track I had problems with… Now the mystery is solved! Thanks!

Are the covers for -2 and -3 exactly the same as -1 as long as it is an Ernest J. Day cover? Is there any reason not to swap out the cover for a nicer one of a -2 or -3 where it would be less expensive?

XEX 606-2 sounds a bit flat and uninspiring whilst XEX 606-3 in my opinon sounded a lot better, clearer and louder and didn't sound as "muddy" as my 606-2 copy. There is frequency loss on the 606-2 cut rather like the Mono cut of "Help!" giving it a muddy sound.
