THE BEATLES - 'RUBBER SOUL'
This superb sounding UK mono pressing dates from late 1965 on the black & yellow Parlophone label: PMC 1267
Both labels include the 'Sold in UK...' text with 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd...' worded rims.
A 'KT' purchase tax code is present in the centre of the side 1 label.
Matrices: XEX 579-4 & XEX 580-4
Stamper codes: 4/GAO & 6/GPR
Vinyl weight: 159g
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed mono cover, complete with original 'Use Emitex..' lined inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc: EXCELLENT +This extremely well looked-after, barely played disc retains clean, glossy & unworn playing surfaces bearing only some light wispy hairlines from the inner-sleeve visible directly beneath halogen light. Played just a handful of handful of times on quality equipment, the labels display a handful of light well-aimed spindle trails around each centre unworn hole. All tracks play cleanly with a warmth and clarity unique to this -4 cutting which, in our opinion, was the best sounding 1960's pressing of this album.
Aside from a touch of the usual vinyl background on 'Michelle', our careful play-check found no ticks, clicks or any other audible distractions or faults.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A very strong cover with a clean, high-gloss front panel bearing very light storagewear and a light bend towards the lower left corner. There is slight wear to the tips of the corners and an unsually mis-folded lower edge. The rear panel is clean, white & unblemished with the only issue being a small repair to the lower flipback. Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the fully worded spine is is clean & readable.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean, crisp & undamaged.
