ATTENTION THE BEATLES,1960s BRITISH BEAT GROUPS AND CLASSIC ALBUM COLLECTORS!       HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 MONO ISSUE OF THE ESSENTIAL BEATLES ALBUM "RUBBER SOUL"  ISSUED ON THE EMI PRESSED PARLOPHONE YELLOW/BLACK LABELS:PMC 1267 WITH -4/-4 MATRIXES AS WELL AS THE "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT. 

THERE WAS ONLY A VERY SMALL PRINT RUN FOR THE WITHDRAWN "LOUD CUT" MIX WHICH WAS CHANGED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF THE LP HITTING THE SHOPS DUE TO BEING CUT AT A FAR TOO LOUD LEVEL THAT CAUSED SOME COPIES TO JUMP ON SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT! THIS COPY IS FROM WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND PLAYS SUPERB WITH LOTS OF BASS AND VOLUME AS WELL AS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE HAVING BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR SINCE 1965 BY JUST ONE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO USED GOOD EQUIPMENT!. 

THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD A FEW CAREFUL PLAYS WITH GLEAMING SURFACES WITH SOME ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! JUST A FEW ISOLATED FAINT POPS DURING QUIETER PASSAGES SUCH AS IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS OR A COUPLE OF THE FADE OUTS BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND PLAYS THROUGH VERY NICELY INDEED!  THE MONO MIXES HAVE FAR MORE BASS THAN THE STEREO EDITIONS.

STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION! THICK VINYL. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR BUT VERY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,STAINING OR FADING.HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL EMITEX "TRACING PAPER" INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN.

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SOME SMALL CREASES AND JUST A LITTLE VERY MILD STAINING BUT THERE IS NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! THE SPINE IS MUCH THICKER THAN LATER REPRINTS AND IS EASY TO READ! PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! 

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT 1960s LPs  FROM ME ON EBAY.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
