So my grandma loves to go to antique malls. Recently she came over with a crate that had an antique mall tab thingy on it, and some records in it. I was like, cool, what's that for?

I helped her bring her stuff in, and that night, she asked me to go to the guest room with her (she stayed with us for a couple of days).

She handed me the record crate, and I realized what was in it: An original copy of The Beatles' Revolver! Two, in fact, stereo and mono! I flipped through it, though, and I realized that... things were a bit off. There were twenty records total, each one depicting a variation of the cover of Revolver.

As she gave it to me, she said something along the lines of this: "I want you to have these. I found these at an antique mall last night. However, when I brought them up to the front, the said 'take it. It's been returned so many times. Take it and don't return it.' So obviously something's not right about them."

I was... kinda worried after that.

The day she left, I popped the regular-looking Stereo one on my turntable. It sounded great for being, what, 55 years old?

I spread them all out on my floor, and realized that the seemed to, at first, evolve, into what we see on the normal one, and then it gets a little bit better for about five more times, then it just devolves into madness.

I popped the earliest-looking one on. It was the demos of all the Revolver songs! I'd share them but I don't want to get in trouble with Apple for "bootlegging" even though it looks very official (if hastily made). It also appears to be, instead of a 12" normal one, it's a 10" 33 rpm acetate. Here's a scan of the cover I did with my phone:

That's the original Voorman artwork! Well, a copy of it.

However, afterwards, I listened to the most devolved one. It sounded like... what in the world.

That's all I have to say at the moment. More updates on what I can find about this coming soon.
