Description
THE BEATLES - 'RUBBER SOUL'
First issued in October 1969, the '1-EMI box' Parlophone label replaced the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. All Beatles albums released with this label were cut from the same masters as the 1st pressings and in most cases retain the same matrices. Each was pressed on high-qualty virgin vinyl and retain all of the warmth and flawless sound quality of the 1st pressings at a fraction of the cost, making them arguably the best value Beatles vinyl available.
This MINT & UNPLAYED copy of 'Rubber Soul' is on that same '1-EMI box' EMI/Parlophone label: PCS 3075
Matrix numbers: YEX 178-3 & YEX 179-3 (the same as the 1965 pressing)
Stamper codes: 6/OO & 3/RM
Vinyl weight: 136g
Housed in an immaculate front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with no stereo front indicator.
Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.

Disc

A perfect set with no spindle trails or wear to either centre hole.

Guaranteed flawless audio throughout.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A very strong and glossy example with just a little swear from storage and some minor discolouration to the rear opening edge, but no further significant or major faults.
