Does anyone know what is the approximate year of manufacture of Beatles "Revolver" LP record (made in Japan on Apple label, EAS-80556)?

Thanks

According to RateYourMusic.com, it was 1976

Thank you.

As a matter of interest, I compared it to the 180g Parlophone reissue made in the EU and can say that each sounds quite acceptable.

The 180g LP sounds quite musical and uniform without emphasizing any part of the frequency spectre, while the Japanese 1976 issue is closer to the original sound.

I have the Parlophone record (from the 1978 British "Blue Box") and like it. What do the Japanese and original recordings sound like?

My Parlophone record is not the original, it is a new production reissue. It sounds uniform from top to bottom, and it is very silent. The Japanese issue has more prominent highs, sounds somewhat thinner but when I listen to it, I feel more involved in the music...

When Paul's solo album "McCartney" was released c. April 1970, he said
that the Beatles had no intention of recording together again. I believe the dates in this post are for the various reissues.

 

Though their last live concert was in 1966., posted on September 28, 2015 at 10:29:21
And the formal, legal breakup didn't happen until the conclusion of lengthy court proceedings and negotiations in 1975.

I was referring to 1966 as the issue date for Revolver

I thought the OP was asking about the date of manufacture of a Japanese reissue, not the original release date. If it has an Apple label, the date of manufacture clearly wasn't 1966; Apple wasn't founded until 1968.

Happy listening,
