This is a quintessential VG+ 1965 UK copy of the legendary ‘Rubber Soul’ by The Beatles (579-4 ARR 11 / 580-4 RMO 7 matrices) – a 1965 crossover label copy with the specs: Labels: A side in a serif typeface, matrix/date/1 not aligned, B side in Sans Serif, matrix/date/2 all aligned
Sleeve '12 LL Printed and made by Garrod and Lofthouse. Ltd. Patents pending PMC 1267 PCS 3075' on the bottom-rear of the flipback cover.
 This is a lovely VG+ copy with some dirt discolouration on the white rear, some edge-creasing on the clarifoil cover but nothing serious and with a taped opening; while the disc has some general play wear but only has a handful of hairlines discernable under bright sunlight.

GRADING SYSTEM:
1. NM: Record/sleeve will be near-perfect or have maybe very minor scuff/s from being handled a few times or from the inner sleeve (potentially played once or twice). 
2. EX: Record will have some minor scuffs and possible more noticeable marks preventing a NM grading; a record that was played very little and has been taken care of.
3. VG Plus: Record will have noticeable scuffs and light scratches from being handled and played, but nothing too deep as to affect playback. May have light background noise in quieter areas but still no major issues; a record that has been played and enjoyed but not abused.
4. VG: Record will have scuffs and scratches from being handled and played, causing noticeable background noise and some disturbances/pops but still enjoyable overall; still a good quality record that can be enjoyed with life left.

5. GOOD / FAIR / POOR: Record will have scuffs and major scratches. Can still be played but will have background noise and most likely major distractions such as sustained pops or skips. Records with this grade are used for rare albums or ones that would be best used only for display.
