Description
THE BEATLES "RUBBER SOUL" 1965 PARLOPHONE U.K. PMC 1267 MONO LOUD CUT GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LTD SLEEVE. PRESSED BY THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD.
THIS IS THE FIRST SO-CALLED 'LOUD CUT' PRESSING MATRIX XEX 579-1 and XEX 580-1 IN THE DEADWAX.
THIS FIRST PRESSING WAS DISCONTINUED AFTER A VERY LIMITED RUN ( BELIEVED ONLY FOR ONE DAY) BECAUSE THE SOUND WAS AGGRESSIVE AND EDGY. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO HALT PRODUCTION AND THE MOTHER STAMPS WERE RE-CUT.
THIS IS THE THICKER HEAVIER AND DEEPER GROOVED VINYL AND MORE ROBUST THAN LATER PRESSINGS.
MOTHER STAMPERS
Side 1. "C1" "PP" Side 2. "C1" "GP"
THE FRONT LP JACKET IS VG+ WITH JUST A FEW LITTLE CREASES. THE CORNERS ARE ALMOST PERFECT. THE REAR JACKET IS BRIGHT WHITE AND CLEAN VG+/NM-. THE SPINE IS PERFECT.
THIS RECORD HAS BEEN VERY WELL PRESERVED. ALTHOUGH THERE IS SPINDLE WEAR, I CANNOT DETECT ANY RECORD GROOVE PLAYING SURFACE MARKS UNDER BRIGHT HALOGEN LIGHT ON SIDE ONE. THIS IS EXCEPTIONAL IN MY OPINION. I CAN ONLY DETECT TWO FAINT HAIRLINE MARKS ON SIDE TWO.
THE EMITEX DUST COVER IS EXCELLENT.
PLEASE DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE RARITY OF THESE ORIGINAL EARLY PRESSINGS. THEY ARE HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION.
