Description
This is a fabulous original UK mono first pressing of The Beatles "Rubber Soul" LP from 1965 on the Black & Yellow Parlophone label. The laminated Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve is EXCELLENT PLUS condition. The front is almost immaculate with just a few very small laminate creases. The rear just has two small stains and also a sticker from the original retailer on the top edge (see pics).The spine is fully intact with title readable. The labels show some spidertrails and also what looks like a fingerprint on one side but are otherwise clean and intact,they carry the correct "GRAMOPHONE CO.." & "Sold in the UK.. " credits.The vinyl is in gorgeous MINT MINUS condition, just a few light hairlines visible under very bright light, beautifully glossy. It plays superbly too, just some very light crackle between tracks in places but nothing that interferes with or spoils the music, no distortion, loud pops, clicks, jumps or sticks. Comes with its original polylined EMITEX inner. A lovely copy of this rare first Mono pressing

I have been a collector for any years and a now selling most of my vinyl to fund a change of career. All records are thoroughly cleaned on my ClearAudio Smart Matrix machine and then carefully played on a Rega Planar 3 deck with Goldring cartridge. I use strict RC gradings with plus and minus to indicate variation and all records are sent out in professional mailers. I offer a full refund minus return postage should you not be satisfied with how I've graded a record.
