1960s UK 2nd pressing of the classic “Rubber Soul”LP by The Beatles

Original EJ Day Flipback sleeve, MT tax code on side 2 label make this the variant A-1 type which was pressed on older EMI machines around 1966

The vinyl visually grades between VG and VG+ with visible non feelable scuffs and marks. These have very little impact on the sound (a testament to these old UK mono pressings) and it sounds great with only a few very low level crackles heard in the spaces between tracks. The music plays beautifully and clearly throughout with no major discernible distortion at all except for three or four very low level crackles on “Michelle”. Play grade is EX and genuinely sounds great. Overall grade is VG+ taking in to account visual and play grades. No pops, sticks, jumps or skips.

The sleeve is also VG+ with light storage wear and some age related discolouration on the rear.

Original poly lined inner is missing but I will include a replacement Emitex inner
