THE BEATLES - "RUBBER SOUL"
1965 UK RECALLED 1ST PRESSING LP
Rare "LOUD CUT" version
**LOVELY CONDITION**
This is an original UK pressing of this rare album, in it's original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve. KT tax code on side 2 lable.
Matrix Numbers : XEX 579-1, XEX 580-1.
Stampers : 3/GA, 3/GA (How's that for balance?)
CONDITION
LABLES - VG+ BOTH SIDES, quite a few spindle marks, little wear around spindle hole, owners name in pencil on side 1.
VINYL - VISUAL : VERY GOOD+ Both sides.
Clean and no fingerprints, but with various light surface marks. I don't call them scratches because they do not affect the wonderful sound, and certainly no jumps or sticks. A nice copy of this rare collector's item.
VINYL - AUDIO : VERY GOOD+ Both sides
SLEEVE : EXCELLENT. Clean and straight. Spine uncrushed. Laminate intact. 3 Flipbacks very clean and strong. 3 or 4 thumbnail creases at opening edge - again very minor. Slight yellowing to unlaminated rear panel at opening edge, otherwise clean and white.
GRADING:
My records are strictly graded by the Record Collector system, and I will never auction any item less than "Good". That leaves us with 4 categories; Mint, Excellent, Very Good and Good. Since there aren't many 40 year old records that are Mint, ie "sealed and unplayed" as per the Record Collector guide, I tend to use "Near Mint" to signify a pristine example, played maybe once or twice. However, if I use the term "Mint" to describe a certain facet of my item, then you can be assured - I mean MINT!!. I use +/- where I feel records fall between 2 categories. I do not use terms like "EX+++!!!!!!!!" as they are meaningless. I aim to grade accurately, without exaggeration. I also try to grade each aspect of the record separately to give as full a description as possible.
Please contact me before bidding if you require further details about condition - I am happy to provide further close-up images via e-mail as necessary.
All records are played on my top end system (Linn / Audio Technica / stylus changed every 2 months) and are handled with great care (latex gloves, actually!) - not because they are priceless items, just that I don't want to leave my own mark on them, as others may have done over the years.
I try to include as many pictures as is reasonable to give as much information as possible for the bidder. The pictures are taken at high resolution, and I aim to show anything that is relevant. Feel free to ask for further pictures showing specific details.
Furthermore, as one man's NM- is another man's EX+, all items offered with money back guarantee.
Postage and Packing:
All Items will be shipped in mailing envelopes with stiffeners. Important LP's above a value of £50 will be shipped with hardboard stiffeners at no extra cost. I will obtain proof of posting, and items will be covered by Royal Mail standard insurance, which is dependent on the service chosen. Currently up to £30 for 1st Class and signed for, and up to £500 for Special. Remember to include additional postage if you require Special delivery, or I will assume 1st class is adequate.
45's and EP's: First Class £2, Recorded £2.80, Special Delivery £5.
LP's: First Class £4, Recorded £4.80, Special Delivery £7.
Rest of World, contact seller for individual price before bidding.
