Description
This is my personal copy of Rubber Soul which is for sale along with my other albums only because I have now retired from work and have moved - and need to downsize.
The labels are in excellent condition with spindle trails providing evidence of its use - which is not excessive - slightly worn around the spindle holes. The disc surface is excellent with only a few minor hairline scratches and some finger marks.
The record serial is PMC 1267 with side 1 identified on the label by matrix reference XEX 579 and side 2 by XEX 580. The lacquer number stamped on the playing surface run out is XEX 579-4 on side 1 and XEX 580-4 on side 2. additional identification marks stamped are as follows: side 1 mother number is 1, and stamper code is GRR. side 2 has mother number 4 and stamper code GAR.
The disc inner sleeve is plain white and is in excellent condition with no tears or wearing and just a little creasing (the impression of the disc).
The album sleeve is of external seam construction. its condition is excellent with a couple of lamination creases. The edges of the sleeve are only slightly worn although the top edge has a split about 30mm long which had been repaired with tape (the tape is no longer in place); the corners have minimal dog-ears. The spine is OK, the open edge is worn. The sleeve manufacturer is Garrod and Lofthouse. The only downside is that it has the sticky label of the record shop from which it was bought and I have written the date when I received it (a Christmas present in 1965).
In general though a very fine example
Happy to respond to any questions - and watch for my other items coming up over the next few days/weeks!!
Offered at a low starting price to let it find its own market level and encourage a sale!!!
