The Beatles
RUBBER SOUL
EMI Odeon EAS-70135

Extremely Rare MONO Red Vinyls w/ OBI!

This extremely rare copy of The Beatles' RUBBER SOUL EMI Odeon EAS-70135 Japan red vinyl MONO LP is one of
a limited edition, 10,000 pressing run made in 1982 by EMI/Odeon - Japan.
Finding a mint/nice copy of this is nearly impossible!

Why so rare?...
As most of you reading this already know, the monophonic, red vinyl Beatles titles released in this series were - and are - coveted by collectors.
These audiophile issues were carefully monitored pressing runs, and are considered the ultimate
way to hear the original Beatles mono mixes.
Using high definition virgin vinyl, the original U.K. mono mixes and extreme care in packaging, this Japanese pressed series of albums -
based on the Parlophone catalog in the U.K. - are the ultimate way to experience the Fab Four in mono.
In many cases, the mono mixes are quite different from their stereo counterparts.
Also the fact that most Beatles' diehards prefer these vinyls rather than the most recent 2009 Remastered CD.

In 1982, Toshiba issued a limited edition series (limited to 10,000 copies of each record) of The Beatles mono LPs. These records contain the original U.K. mono mixes and parallel very closely the U.K. mono reissue series that came out in England around the same time.

Conditions are as follows:
Rubber Soul: Sealed. Not much i can say except this one is sealed. Small crease on the opening corners. OBI intact. I purchased this sealed from a local record retailer as he had
 several of the monos but was asking too much money for them thus i only purchased the Rubber Soul which i did not have a copy of; never opened it.
 Notice that i graded it EX as i will be using this grading on my entire Beatles listing, even though i feel them as more Near Mint.

I will assure good packaging with the vinyls out of the jacket to prevent any damage to spines of jacket in case package is dropped by carrier (with the exception of this one as it is sealed)
International shipment will be by Registered Priority, for both buyer and seller protection. If more than one record is won shipping charge will be by weight and not by per-additional record.
I have a good starting price as most sellers start their single used copies anywhere from $149 to $299. One ebay seller sells all set for over 3Gs.... Thanks for looking and happy bidding!!!
I will be listing several of these Beatles Mono Red Vinyls so please stay tuned and check them out.
