COMMENTS
 Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." (uppercase) on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "℗ 1966" statement.

With a "FACTORY SAMPLE" sticker on the label of side-1.
According to one account of the process, test pressings may have been approved and promotional copies produced before the standard-release labels were loaded into the pressing machines. Samples may then have been taken from each press, marked with a white sticker printed in red, and checked for quality.

Sleeves were produced by two London printing companies: Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. This copy has a sleeve printed by Garrod & Lofthouse.
Mono and stereo releases used separate numerical catalog series until early 1966. In 1966, a new series began at 7001, with both formats sharing the numerical part of the catalog number while retaining the distinct PMC and PCS prefixes.  

The first press used the subsequently withdrawn mix.  Side 2 matrix no.: XEX 606-1 contains "Remix 11" of "Tomorrow Never Knows". A different master of “Tomorrow Never Knows” was reportedly sent for the initial pressing of Revolver. This mix is known as "Remix 11". It differs subtly from the standard Remix 8, which subsequently replaced it. According to the account cited below, each group member received an early production copy. John may have been unhappy with the mix, or noticed that the wrong mix had been used, and informed George Martin. Production may then have been stopped while new lacquers were cut and the pressing plates replaced. First presses have a side 2 matrix number of XEX 606-1 whereas the standard presses have XEX 606-2 and beyond.
(According to "TheBeatles-Collection.com")

The first-press label  uses a sans-serif typeface and lists the song as “DR. ROBERT” on Side 2.
