This record is a winner Beatles UK Stereo Rubber Soul 1965 Completely Isolated Tracks VG+ to EX .

I put wrong cover with this record. I just changed the pix. This is a great album, and cover. I have the original Emitex inner sleeve as well. I think it safe to say this is the best overall condition of a 1965 UK Rubber Soul on eBay. I see the JUNK people are asking $250.and some call records MINT while spindle holes are worn out. This is a tough call between VG+ and EX. Too much gray area. I prefer to use numbers on a 10 scale.

Record,labels 8/10. Sound 9.5/10 as good as it gets in my opinion. Cover 8/10. Really clean, only flaw is clarfoil lifting in top center of cover, but there are NO seam splits.

George Martin had to remix the early UK stereo pressings ( This era pressings ) as there was no center stage. Tracks are totally isolated ,meaning voices panned to right ,instruments to the left. You haven’t heard what this albums sounds like, rather how it was recorded until you’ve heard the UK stereo mix. Remember in 1965 things were mono oriented, and stereo was not taken seriously. I’m a musician, hence I love hearing exactly how they produced any given song. This album sounds great. No pops,clicks etc. a strong VG+ 8/10 . Cover is EX 8/10 no seam splits ,writing etc. opening for record not foxing ( rare ) Review pix. I know I’m hovering between VG+ and EX .Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
