On offer here is a very rare and unique LP from THE BEATLES called ‘RUBBER SOUL’. An amazingly vibrant record and also the Beatles sixth official album release. The first Beatles album, to include all four as composers, and have no cover versions. And the last time that The Beatles would release two albums of new material in one year. The title came from an expression that black musicians were using to describe The Rolling Stones, which Paul then parodied from the original "Plastic Soul" to "Rubber Soul".

However this record is even more special because it is a UK 1st Press and these are becoming incredibly rare these days, especially in sublime condition like this one. This UK version is how the BEATLES intended it and was never released in America and now no longer available! How rare is that! You simply won’t find another one anywhere else as they were only produced for a limited time in small numbers, they are so incredibly rare! The sleeve is also credited to Ernest J Day (E J DAY), which is incredibly rare and special for this album print!

The record has hardly ever been played and subsequently has that just new look to it. There are a few tinny light surface marks as on all old LPs but these certainly don’t effect playing; these records are built to last! The record is pressed on thick quality black vinyl; this is a good example! This has been well looked after. The sleeve is still in good condition with no tears or scratches and has only slight minor buffering marks on the edges like any old LP. This in a fantastic ultra rare piece of rock and roll memorabilia in stunning condition!!! The inner white paper sleeve is the EMITEX original with no splits or tears and still has the inner cellophane dust guard! Record collector grading A, you wont be disappointed in the records miraculous condition, it really is ‘NEAR NEW’.

Anyone who has only previously heard these awesome tunes on CD is in for a real treat, as the vinyl version has so much more vibrant sound and richness that they lost in the digital conversion. You really can notice subtle differences in all the songs, it’s just incredible. This is how the BEATLES truly intended it! It really is a great looking LP and it’s truly impossible to find any copies of a first press, let alone one in such awesome condition! Just look at this astounding RARE BEATLES LP!!!!

LP DETAILS: The Beatles sixth official album release.
The first Beatles album, to include all four as composers, and have no cover versions.
And the last time that The Beatles would release two albums of new material in one year.

The title came from an expression that black musicians were using to describe The Rolling Stones, which Paul then parodied from the original "Plastic Soul" to "Rubber Soul".

This album had advance orders of over half-a-million, eventually selling around 750,000 in the Britain. Global sales are estimated ot over 3,000,000 units. Once again (of course) the American issue did not contain the full tracklisting, instead taking two tracks from the British "Help!" album, and leaving some off, which would appear on later releases.

It should also be noted that during the sessions for this album, on 4th November 1965, The Beatles recorded another track for the album (with 2 takes). It was an instrumental that was never returned to, nor remixed ... "12-Bar Original".

The cover was the first to NOT have The Beatles name on the front, and the cover photography is by Robert Freeman.
