Description
The much sought after BEST sounding pressing of The Beatles' classic album RUBBER SOUL (WITH THE BEST CONDITION VINYL I'VE SEEN)!
Hazel Yarwood was the first female cutting engineer at EMI. Considered a master at her craft, she mainly cut classical music during her time there from 1947 to 1985. She was so incredible that EMI sent all of their disc mastering engineers from their German arm to Abbey Road to take lessons from her. She was brought in to help re-cut Rubber Soul after Harry Moss' attempt. THIS is the cut that finally did it. The -5/-5!!!
These pressings rarely show up in condition better than VG, let alone NEAR MINT! This is an extreme rarity and one that would put you in the list of a handful of people who own a copy in this condition. Similarly to how the RL cut for Led Zep II is almost impossible to find in NM condition, this is a cut that will be desired in great condition and hunted down for many many more years to come.
See below for details.

GRADING
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Gorgeous condition. Very light edgewear, stunning front cover with minimal creases, back is beautiful with perfect flipbacks. Some slight yellowing in spots is the only thing stopping it from being NM!
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Labels are very clean overall, very minimal signs of spindle use showing that it has been barely played.
RECORD: NEAR MINT!
Perfect in every way. No noise, no crackle, absolutely QUIET! So quiet that you can hear every intricacy of the cut with nothing to pull you out of the wonderful dreamscape the Beatles have created, and that Hazel Yarwood has cut to perfection. THIS is the definitive cut and THIS is the vinyl that will give you the listening that has deemed this cut to be the BEST CUT ever for RUBBER SOUL! I would grade the audio MINT-!
Original Inner: Included in great condition
Cleaning: All vinyl sold by me is carefully cared for and cleaned with one of the most effective processes in the field. Manually cleaned with a Disco Stat + Loricraft combination with a formulated distilled water and alcohol mixture, and a tergikleen + glycol surfactant. The process is then finished off with an Ultrasonic Degritter cleaning to blast out and rinse any other impurities that may still remain. This is one of the key factors into why the vinyl I sell on sounds so clean and lacks the surface noise you may get from a seller who doesn't go to the same lengths as this vinyl obssessed guy over here :)!
