THE BEATLES~RUBBER SOUL~FACTORY SEALED ORIGINAL LP~ABSOLUTELY MINT~+STICKER!!
Product Description
THE BEATLES "RUBBER SOUL" CAPITOL ST 2442WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST COPIES OF AN ORIGINAL BEATLES LP THAT YOU WILL FIND ON EBAY!! FACTORY SEALED IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP! THE ORIGINAL PRICE-CODE STICKER FROM KORVETTE'S DEPARTMENT STORE IS STILL ATTACHED! KORVETTE'S WAS A POPULAR DEPARTMENT STORE IN THE GREATER NEW YORK AREA AND WAS OPEN FROM 1950 TO 1980. AT ITS PEAK, THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 50 STORES. THERE IS NO BARCODE ON THE BACK SINCE BARCODES DID NOT COME INTO EXISTENCE UNTIL THE EARLY 1980s. THE FRONT COVER UTILIZES THE TRADITIONAL WRAPAROUND STYLE WITH THE COVER PHOTO SLICK ADDED LAST!! MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE "NEW IMPROVED FULL DIMENSIONAL STEREO" PHRASE IS PRINTED ON THE PHOTO SLICK AND IS *NOT* CROPPED, THEN PRINTED ALONG THE WHITE BORDER AS LATER PRESSINGS WERE!! INCLUDES THE "SPLIT BULLET" SYMBOL ALONG THE TOP EDGE AS WELL AS THE "FILE UNDER: THE BEATLES" PRINT.
WHILE WE ARE NOT WILLING TO GUARANTEE THAT THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING ON THE CAPITOL RAINBOW LABEL, ALL CLUES WOULD LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS!!
AS FOR THE CONDITION OF THE COVER, IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! NOT A SINGLE SIGN OF WEAR ANYWHERE!! YOU WILL NEVER FIND A CLEANER COPY OF THIS ALBUM ANYWHERE!!
While the Beatles still largely stuck to love songs on Rubber Soul, 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 group 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 instrumental 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," "I'm Looking Through You," "You Won't See Me," "Drive My Car," and "Nowhere Man" (the last of which was the first Beatle song to move beyond romantic themes entirely). George Harrison was also developing into a fine songwriter with his two contributions, "Think for Yourself" and the Byrds-ish "If I Needed Someone."

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
