THE BEATLES RUBBER SOUL CAPITOL T-2442
COVER - FACTORY SEALED - NEW (MINT)
VINYL - FACTORY SEALED - NEW (MINT)
Absolutely stunning and much rarer Scranton, Pennsylvania factory sealed pressing with RIAA Factory Code "3" printed in the lower right croner of the back cover. The front cover contains an ultra rare classic 3' x 1.5' yellow rectangular sticker with the rounded corners affixed to the shrink wrap at top center of the front cover. The text on the sticker reads "Hear Paul Sing "Michelle" and Original Beatles Version" in black print. To find this sticker on an opened cover is super rare, but to find it on a factory sealed album is practically impossible to find. The sticker has some very light scuffing, age wear and light spotting when looking at it close. The front cover also contains a price tag adhered at the top right corner. I acquired this record from a collector several years ago and I wasn't able to get a desirable discount on it, which allows me to earn on it. Therefore, I don't do it often, but I have to list this record with a reserve price in order to return the spent funds. He stored it in a climate controlled room with a limited daylight, which preserved the cover in the original shape without any signs of aging or discoloration. The shrink wrap doesn't have any tears or splitting, with the original breathe holes on the left side of the front cover. The mouth is tightly sealed, but I was able to see that the album contains a green inner sleeve, which corresponds to a very early pressing. Based on the commonly available information the labels on this copy should have the band name, because the "Michelle" sticker was added to the album in the beginning of 1966 after David and Jonathan released their version of Michelle one year after the Beatles released Rubber Soul. This sticker was meant to let a person purchasing the Rubber Soul album know that he was acquiring an album containing the original version of the "Michelle" song.
