THE BEATLES
'RUBBER SOUL'
In the past, early 1970's issues of Beatles LPs have been unfairly judged as being inferior to 1st pressings. However, close attention to detail, and more importantly, sound quality shows that they sound as good as or in some cases, a little better than their overplayed, more expensive 1st pressing counterparts.
These discs pressed in the UK between October 1969 until late 1972 on 1 or 2 EMI Box, 'Gramophone Co..' rimmed labels, were pressed on high quality vinyl and in most cases used the same original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as 1st pressings. All boast outstanding sound quality which later solid-state cuts never matched.
If you value sound quality and want to enjoy tube-cut UK Beatles mixes at a fraction of the price of the originals, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
This 'shop-new' disc is on the silver & black '2-EMI-Box' Parlophone label: PCS 3075
Both labels have 'Gramophone Co. Ltd..' rims
The disc is housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Ernest J. Day' printed cover.
Complete with its original red & white printed EMI advertising inner-sleeve which shows the 'Let It Be' box set, Ringo's' 'Sentimental Journey' & Paul's 'McCartney' LPs, amongst others.
Matrix numbers: YEX 178-3 & YEX 179-3 (the same as the 1965 pressing)
Stamper numbers: 2/PG & 2/MR
Disc weight: 140g

turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This immaculate sounding copy was played just ONCE directly after purchase and transferred to tape and carefully stored thereafter in a clean, non-smoking environment. As a result, the sound is perfectly clean & totally unworn, sounding as good as the day it left the shop.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A superb example which retains an undamaged high-gloss with no creasing or 'thumbnails' to any area. Apart from a minor bruise to the upper right corner there is nothing to fault from the front. The rear panel is bright white with just a very faint stain below Ringo's lower portrait but certinly no writing or missing paper. Both seams and the spine are in perfect, unstressed, unbent & undamaged condition.
Inner-sleeve
NEAR MINT
Apart from a hint of natural age-toning to the paper, this is in 'as new' with no writing, tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
