MEGA RARE 1966 CLEAN MONO PROMOTIONAL
Original 1965 MONO MIXES !
See below , near 60 years first press
RAINBOW Capitol 1965 FIRST pressing in glorious *MONO* of the classic BEATLES "Rubber Soul" LP

Original double-sided 1966 inner sleeve included

The MONO format contains different song mixes to the stereo issue and also different is the monaural bold punch in the sound production  RAINBOW Capitol label releases are especially hard to find when most 60+ year old pressings were played to death...
Original Beatles rainbow Capitol label pressings have gotten increasingly hard to find in clean condition, with supply and demand, considering the God-like popularity of the band.
"Rubber Soul" was a turning point in the Beatles progressions, and on into psychedelia that followed...

The lyrics represented a quantum leap in terms of thoughtfulness, maturity, and complex ambiguities. Musically, too, it was a substantial leap forward, with intricate folk-rock arrangements that reflected the increasing influence of Dylan and the Byrds. The BEATLES and George Martin were also beginning to expand the conventional instrumental parameters of the rock group, using a sitar on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)," Greek-like guitar lines on "Michelle" and "Girl," fuzz bass on "Think for Yourself," and a piano made to sound like a harpsichord on the break of "In My Life." 

While John and Paul were beginning to carve separate songwriting identities at this point, the album is full of great tunes, from "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" and "Michelle" to "Girl," "You Won't See Me," "I'm Looking Through You," (a classic raver!) and "In My Life" (voted by public as the best Beatles song - ever!). 
George Harrison was also developing into a fine songwriter with his two contributions, "Think for Yourself." By the way, the mentioned above "I'm Looking Through You" features varied elements, and is peppered with nasty fuzz bass, exotic sitar, and sped-up piano that sounds like harpsichord.

All in all, the album reveals a creative scope and willingness to experiment so revolutionary it can now only be termed "Beatle-sque."

Characteristically, they achieved a new musical sophistication and a greater thematic depth without sacrificing any of their rock-craft appeal status...Though some might argue that the Beatles' unprecedented evolution from British Invasion pin-ups to pop-rock music visionaries began with BEATLES FOR SALE; RUBBER SOUL is without a doubt the first album to definitively put the Fab Four in the running for *Greatest Band Ever*

  1.   CONDITION:
  2. The cover: rated: near M- perforated PROMO design at top right cover, very scarce, being the only method Capitol Records designated their pre-release productions and said to be first vinyl pressed from the master. Cover remains sharp & solid, original colors, no sun fade, without (no) delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing other than what barely remains of non-legible (super faint) previous owner name at middle top center on BACK cover only (see close-up photo of very hard to notice minor issue as noted)
  3.   ...otherwise the 1965 promo cover is very rare and highly collectible.
  4. ^The image is reversed negative to show^ authentic perforated PROMO ^
The vinyl: Rated: near M- the mono production vinyl is extremely glossy clean, viewed in direct sunlight, contains 3 thin finger-nail top surface wispy scuffs that are not audible at all. Both rainbow MONO Capitol labels are clean = see images!
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
