The Beatles
RUBBER SOUL
First Corrected UK Mono Pressing with uncommon "CBS Rim" on Side 1
"MT" Tax code on Side 2 and Sans Serif Font labels
PARLOPHONE PMC 1267 : MATRIX NOs XEX 579 -4/ XEX 580 -4

Note: the "CBS" rims are an uncommon anomaly found on EMI records pressed around the mid-60s. There is an indentation / pressed ring around the outside of the label that is not seen on normal pressings. They normally only show up on one side of the LP. It's called the "CBS pressing" due to it's similarity to that of records pressed by CBS at the same time but it's believed that this anomaly comes from EMI re-using old pressing parts. These are rather uncommon to find!

The vinyl is in Very Good condition. It was originally received with a warp which was repaired and is now no longer audible on my system. It has a small amount of marks on each side but plays through with minimal noise. It sounds even better when you sum your cartridge to mono.

The cover is in Very Good condition, too. Original Mono Garrod & Lofthouse flipback that's holding together okay with some wear to the corners and laminate and two seam splits that have been covered with tape by a previous owner. There's some minor yellowing but it holds together well and the spine is nice and clear.
Unfortunately does not come with it's original inner sleeve. There's a generic rice paper inner included that has seam splits.
This copy is not for the discriminating audiophile, but it still does play through nicely and it could be a rare addition for any Beatles collector
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
