On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called 'Rubber Soul' and is a MONO UK 1st pressing!!!! THIS LP IS VERY VERY RARE!!!! THIS IS THE EARLIEST MONO 1ST PRESSING AND IS KNOWN AS THE 'LOUD CUT' PRESSING!!!!  IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE DIFFERENCE ON THESE 'LOUD CUT' 1ST MONO PRESSINGS - WHEN COMPARING TO A LATER STANDARD MONO PRESSING!!!! OCCASSIONALLY YOU READ SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH AND RECENTLY I READ THAT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 'LOUD CUT' PRESSINGS AND STANDARD MORE COMMON LATER PRESSINGS.  THIS OF COURSE IS TOTALLY LAUGHABLE - AND FOR THOSE THAT DONT ACTUALLY KNOW - THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE ON THE 'LOUD CUT' PRESSING COMPARED TO THE STANDARD LATER MONO PRESSING IS THE GROOVE SPACING ON THE RECORDS.  IF YOU CHECK THE RUN OFF GROOVE ON THE LOUD CUT PRESSING - YOU WILL FIND (PARTICULARLY ON SIDE 2) THAT THERE IS A FAR BIGGER RUN OFF GROOVE ON THE 'LOUD CUT' PRESSINGS - THAN THE STANDARD LATER MONO PRESSINGS.  WHY THIS WAS CHANGED - I CANNOT SAY - BUT PERHAPS THERE WAS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM TO PROMPT EMI TO SPACE OUT THE GROOVES MORE ON THE LATER MONO PRESSINGS? WHAT IS CERTAIN THOUGH IS THAT ONLY THE VERY EARLIEST MONO 'LOUD CUT' PRESSINGS OF 'RUBBER SOUL' WERE PRESSED LIKE THIS AND THEY ARE VERY HARD TO FIND!!!!  NOT ONLY THIS - BUT THIS MONO 1ST PRESSING HAS A MEGA RARE E.J.DAY SLEEVE!!!! DONT MISS OUT ON THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
