3rd time around, non paying bidder, grrr.
This is an auction for The Beatles LP, Rubber Soul.
This was released by Parlophone records in 1965 and has catalogue number PMC1267. This is the 2nd press with a black and yellow label with "The Gramophone Co Ltd" and "Sold In U.K." label text. This also comes with a Ernest J. Day sleeve and is mono. Please check the pictures for clarification.
Matrix: XEX 579 4 XEX 580 4
Condition: The sleeve has some tiny lamination creases seen on the front cover and some discolouring seen on the rear, also with light buffing to the very corners. Spine & edges ex, no tears, bends or creases, lamination at mouth fine, flipback edges ex, No fingering indentations, a nice crisp sleeve and graded at VG+.
This comes with its original "patents applied for" inner sleeve which has a little yellwoing but is otherwise in fine condition.
Both labels are clean and look new, under a strong light a few spindle trails can be seen on each side. The centre hole shows a mere touch of wear. please check the pictures on supersize, fine labels.
The vinyl retains its new shine and looks clean in normal light. Under a stong light two superficial scratches, a few tiny feather scratches and a couple of dust marks can be seen. I have of course given this a test play through both sides and was pleased to find that this plays superbly well. The above mentioned scratches and dust marks are completely non-audible. Stunning quiet breaks and entries, strong audio with no distortion, fading or dragging heard whatsoever. No surface noise to report on either side with the music playing perfectly and certainly with very little, if any, lessening in sound quality. This does not appear to suffer from any reduction due to wear.
The audio is just about as good as you can find it and certainly plays at Near Mint, I have graded this at VG+, simply down-graded because of the two superficial scratches seen under close examination. Fact is it looks and plays at a comfortable near mint.
A fine addition to any collection.
