THE BEATLES - Rubber Soul 
1965 UK first pressing 14-track mono vinyl LP 
With 'Gramophone Co' perimeter and 'Sold in UK' central label text

Sleeve

The front laminated flipback sleeve is has the "Garrod & Lofthouse..." text on the back to the lower right.

There are just a few minor creases and the odd minor surface mark visible in the laminate and just a small amount of very light scuffing to the corners. The non-laminated back remains very clean with intact flipbacks & no shop stamps or writing.

Vinyl

The labels are the legendary black and yellow Parlophone design used on most of the UK Beatles originals until 'The Beatles' (White Album).

The labels are free from writing, sticker marks or tears. The silver text of the tracklisting is clear and bright, the yellow of 'Parlophone' is striking.

The matrix numbers in the run out groove are:

XEX 579 - 4     A G T      4 8
XEX 580 - 4     L L P       5

There is only little light marking around the spindle hole visible on the labels showing it has had just some light play. The vinyl remains excellent, with only a few light surface scuffs or hairlines detectable, which thanks to the 60s vinyl remain cosmetic. I can confirm on play testing that it plays really crisply and clear

A very nice copy of this classic album in excellent condition

I am slowly listing them one by one and they are in a verity of condition, most are good or very good, with some in shop purchased condition (i.e. Like new), I don’t have time to play every record listed, (well only the ones I want to listen to), therefore I can’t vouch for the playing condition of this item, however if you want to know how it plays please ask and I will play it and let you know if there is any excessive hissing, scratches and what condition the vinyl is in.

I have kept most of these records for 30+ years plus so my goal is to make sure they arrive with you in the same condition that I have kept them, enjoy bidding and please feel free to ask any questions and I will try to answer them
