BEATLES "RUBBER SOUL"
RARE UK LOUD CUT FACTORY SAMPLE
ORIGINAL 1965 UK 1ST PRESSING.. LOUD CUT VERSION.
RELEASED DECEMBER 3RD 1965 "RUBBER SOUL" WAS THE BEATLES SIXTH UK ALBUM RELEASE AND THEIR FIFTH ALBUM TO GO DIRECTLY TO NUMBER ONE.
PMC 1267
XEX 579/80-1-1
THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. LABELS DISPLAY JUST LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS WHICH ARE REALLY ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND ALL LETTERING IS STILL BRIGHT AND CRISP.... SIDE ONE CARRIES THE UNIQUE "FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE" STICKER.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS WHICH AGAIN ARE REALLY ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS A VISIBLE MARK TO "GIRL" WHICH DOES CAUSE A FEW LIGHT CLICKS BUT NOTHING THAT REALLY SPOILS LISTENING ENJOYMENT. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING OR NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED.
AUDIO IS SUPERB (APART FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED CLICKS), THER EIS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES BUT APART FROM THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO OTHER DISTORTION.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS STUNNING. IT IS TOTALLY INTACT AND VERY WHITE AND CRISP... ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" SLEEVE IS A TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE. (THE SLEEVE DOES HAVE A NAME WRITTEN ON THE INSIDE..POSSIBLY THE EMI EMPLOYEE WHO CLAIMES THIS COPY... BUT AS THIS IS ON THE INSIDE IT IS NOT VISIBLE AND DOESNT DETER FROM THE OVERALL QUALITY) THE FRONT DISPLAYS THE ODD VERY TINY, LIGHT CREASE BUT REALLY NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. THERE ARE SOME MINOR AND REALLY INSIGNIFICANT CORNER BUMPS PRESENT. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND THE SPINHE IS PERFECTLY RIGID WITH NO WEAR. THE REAR IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH JUST A HINT OF AGE AND HANDLING EVIDENT. ALL THE SEAMS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT AND THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM ANY LAMINATE LIFT, WRITING OR UNWANTED MARKS.... THIS REALLY IS A TOP QUALITY SLEEVE.
OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER UK MONO 1ST LOUD CUT PRESSING WHICH HAS THE ADDED APPEAL OF BEING A TRULY RARE FACTORY SAMPLE VERSION.
