Hello.

The Beatles

PCS 3075

1965

Stereo

Rubber Soul

Yellow, Silver and Black Label

Parlophone EMI Records

Recorded in England

UK 12" inch Vinyl LP

Made in Gt. Britain

"Patents Pending" Garrod and Lofthouse Triple flip-back sleeve

Issued in the United Kingdom in 1965, I offer you this 12 inch Stereo LP called "Rubber Soul" by "The Beatles" on the Yellow, Silver and Black "Parlophone / EMI" record label. The labels hold the "sold in the UK" text on both labels in addition the original "patents pending" Garrod and Lofthouse ltd. outer Sleeve. The catalogue number is PCS 3075. The matrix numbers are; Side 1: YEX-178-2, Side 2: 179-2.

Visually, the Vinyl is in nice condition, Very good plus on side 1 and side 2. The vinyl retains a fantastic glossy finish with some hairlines. The labels are in a clean condition with light spider trails and minor mouling being present. Considering the vinyl is strictly graded very good plus, the stylus I use shows that playback does reproduce some distortion throughout both sides and I shall therefore start bidding at 99p.

Please take a look at the pictures as they will hopefully illustrate it's approximate visual condition.

 The Garrod and lofthouse "Patents Pending" triple-fold outer sleeve is in very good plus condition with no tears or splits, but with some creasing and some discolouration/fading present. The spine is excellent with a small amount of wear.

Please take a look at the picture section as this will hopefully clarify it's authentic condition.

Items shall be dispatched with protection in mind.

I shall dispatch items by registered post following a safe deposit through Paypal and shall be posted with appropriate protection. I thank you for looking and wish you luck.

As a foreword regarding grading,

I have to admit there's just something unique and special about Vinyl records. I appreciate that the modern download industry facilitates easy access to our most beloved tracks and compact discs are "compact" and slim-lined to minimize storage space. However, what is missing from them forms of media only a record enthusiast will appreciate. If we could possibly disregard the amazing sound reproduction attained only by vinyl records, in terms of value for money, there's just no comparison. If we rationalise it as "what you get for your money", i'll pick records anyday. I don't get any real "consumerable satisfaction" when buying tracks that are then stored in cyber-space and all that you see is a picture of the band pop up. It's a shame what is lost is the atmosphere, originality and imagination of sleeve artwork with the added extras sometimes thrown in, such as limited edition inserts and posters. I believe that a quality vinyl record is it's own form of art, incomparable to that "file" we have downloaded from cyber-space.

Therefore, when buying records I want to obtain a record which I know is what I want, ie condition. In the past, I have had many encounters where I didn't receive what I thought I was bidding on. For example, my experience would suggest that some sellers over grade their stock, whether it be through inexperience or unscrupulous members who believe they can get away with it. When I grade vinyl condition, I emphasize its strong points and weak points in as much detail as possible in addition to a detailed image section to assist in determining its approximate condition. I want you to be informed on what you are bidding on without the presence of over grading / undergrading. I hope my grading system will help with comparing your needs with what is on offer. Thanks and good luck.
