BEATLES (RUBBER SOUL)MONO ''LOUD CUT'' MUCH SOUGHT AFTER ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS EXCELLENT PLUS PLUS\NEAR MINT!! VERY RARE PMC 1267 YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE UK LABEL.WITH ULTRA RARE MISSALIGNED COVER!!!!!

THIS IS THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AND EXTREEMLY RARE BEATLES RUBBER SOUL (MONO) IT HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL. IT IS TOTALY ORIGINAL AND INTACT 1ST PRESS(ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION).

IN MY OPINION THIS LOUD CUT VERSION OF RUBBER SOUL IS A SUPERIOR SOUND TO THE LATER (CORRECTED)VERSIONS.IT HAS A MUCH MORE RAUNCHIER SOUND SOME WOULD SAY UNPOLISHED BUT THIS IS MORE TO MY TASTE,THIS IS SAID TO BE SLIGHTLY MORE INCREASED VOLUME HENSE ''LOUD'' CUT.

THERE WERE ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT PRESSED AND PRESSING CEASED AFTER ONLY ONE DAYS PRESSING SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE TO FIND A VINYL THAT IS EXCELLENT PLUS PLUS\NEAR MINT IS EXTREEMLY RARE.

THE MATRIX IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE FOR THIS EARLY 1ST PRESS XEX 1579-1 580-1

THE MOTHER STAMPERS AT 3OCKLOCK SIDE I.''T.M.''. SIDE 2.''L.A..''AT 9.OCLOCK SIDE 1.''1''SIDE 2.''1'' THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT PLUS PLUS\NEAR MINT (AS NEW)CANT SEE HARDLY ANY SURFACE MARKS CERTAINLY NO SCRATCHES (ONLY WHEN HELD IN EXTREEME BRIGHT LIGHT IF I WAS HIGHLY CRITICAL)I HAVE PLAYED THIS THROUGH AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS THERE IS (NO) BACKGROUND NOISE THROUGHOUT THE AUDIO OF THE RECORD (AT LEAST I COULDN'T HEAR ANY INTERFEARANCE EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS VERY MINIMAL AND I WOULD CLASS MYSELF AS HIGHLY CRITICAL)THE AUDIO IS CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT TYPICAL GREAT MONO (LOUD CUT)SOUND. I WOULD GRADE THE VINYL AS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT..THE VINYL STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN FROM NEW (SEE MY FEEDBACK AND OTHER RECORDS THAT I HAVE SOLD OF THIS CALABER AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I NORMALY GET IT RIGHT I AM NOT OVER ESTIMATING THIS RECORD.). THE MATRIX ALONG WITH THE MOTHER STAMPERS SHOW IT IS A VERY VERY EARLY 1ST PRESS AND VERY COLLECTABLE.

THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT\NEAR MINT. THEY HAVE SOLD IN THE UK............ACROSS THE LABELS.(ONLY ON EARLY PRESS) THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD IS FEATURED AROUND THE LABEL RIM(ONLY ON EARLY PRESS) THE ONLY SIGNS THAT THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED IS THE TRACE OF A VERY FEW SPINDLE MARKS WHEN HELD IN BRIGHT LIGHT.A TRULY UNIQUE AND RARE COPY. MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN.

ABSOLUTELY NO SPINDLE WARE AND THE K.T. TAX STAMPER IS ON SIDE 2 (ONLY EARLY PRESS)

THE ORIGINAL GARROD & LOFTHOUSE FULLY LAMINATED FLIPBACK COVER IS EXCELLENT PLUS\NEAR MINT SHOWING VERY VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF CREASING TO THE LAMINATE (SEE PHOTO)THERE IS NO SPITS OR TARES OR WRITING.(SEE PHOTO) AND THE REAR IS EXCEPTIONALY CLEAN HAS A VERY SMALL SCUFF ABOUT 4MM(SEE PHOTO) (THATS ALL)(SEE PHOTO)THE SPINE IS EXCELLENT NO SCUFFING THE WRITING CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN. A GREAT EXAMPLE. THIS COVER APART FROM THE LOVELY CONDITION IS ULTRA RARE IN THAT THE PRINTING IS ''MISSALIGHNED''I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE WRITING ON THE SPINE OVERHANGS ON TO THE FRONT OF THE COVER AND THERE IS A WHITE BAND OF APPROX 3-4MM (SEE PHOTO)ALSO ON THE REAR OF THE COVER AT THE TOP ON THE FLIP BACK THE PICTURE IS CONTINUED ABOUT 3-4MM (SEE PHOTO) AND IF YOU NOTICE THE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE WRITING IS ALSO OUT OF LINE (NOT PARALLEL) THIS IS EXTREEMLY RARE!!!!!

THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL EMITEX SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THIS HAS BEEN STORED IN A CLEAR RECORD PROTECTOR WHICH WOULD ALSO BE DESPATCHED WITH THE RECORD.

PLEASE NOTE I TRY TO TAKE PHOTOS IN CRITICAL LIGHT SO THAT ANY DEFECTS CAN BE HIGHLIGHTED I HAVE TAKEN A FEW SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW RARE AND EXCEPTIONAL THIS ALBUM IS. THEY ARE SUPERSIZED SO THAT ALL ASPECTS OF THE ALBUM CAN BE SEEN CLEARLY..

I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK SO BID WITH CONFIDANCE.
