Description

FOR SALE IS A SIMPLY GORGEOUS TOP COPY BEATLES RUBBER SOUL VINYL LPO 1976 JAPANESE JAPAN PRESS ON THE APPLE RECORDS LABEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A 1976 PRESSING AS THAT MATCHES THE SERIAL NUMBER. THE VINYL IS NEAR MINT MINUS ONE SIDE AND NEAR MINT THE OTHER. IT PROBABLY WAS PLAYED ON ONE SIDE, ONCE TWICE, LIKELY NO MORE. I DONT EVEN SEE EVIDENCE OF PLAY ON THE OTHER SIDE THOUGH I ASSUME IT MAY HAVE BEEN ONCE. YOU SIMPLY CANNOT FIND A NICER COPY. 


THE COVER IS IN THE VG+/VG++ RANGE. SOME LIGHT SCUFFING ON THE TOP OTHERWISE EXCELLENT. NO OBI.  SHIPS FROM THE USA SO NO NEED TO PAY $20 FOR SHIPPING.
