Hello!  Please note, that this auction will end on late Tuesday January 2nd UK time.  Of course, I usually end my auctions on Sundays.  However, as this coming Sunday falls on News Years Eve in the UK this is impossible.  I do NOT stop for the Christmas period, and will be listing some truly INCREDIBLE items!  In fact, most of my listings over the Christmas period have all come from one AMAZING collection, and are the BEST and RAREST items I have seen for a very VERY long time.  So don't forget to check back before Tuesday January 2nd UK time - to see some the BEST ITEMS I have EVER listed!  Please read on about this AMAZING item below, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid:-

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Rubber Soul" and is an ORIGINAL 1965 UK MONO 'First Corrected' 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEATLES RAREST LPs EVER, AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE ULTRA RARE 'FIRST CORRECTED' MONO 1ST PRESSING - WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RE-CUT!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN LATE 1965, IT WAS MIXED INCORRECTLY WITH 1/1 MATRIXES AND A COARSE LOUD CUT MIX.  NATURALLY AS IT WAS AT FIRST RELEASE - QUITE A FEW LOUD CUT 1/1 MATRIX COPIES WERE SOLD.  ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AN ATTEMPTED CORRECTION WAS MADE - WITH 4/4 MATRIX (THIS ONE).  AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME AT ALL CALLING THIS A 'FIRST CORRECTED' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  BECAUSE IN EFFECT - THE 1/1 MATRIX VERSIONS ARE SIMPLY MISPRESSINGS AND THIS ONE WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VERSION ALTOGETHER!!!! 

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / PARLOPHONE THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLES' WERE NEARLY ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE (AS IN THIS CASE!) - AND ARE TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO FIND TODAY, AS BARELY ANY EXIST!!!!  BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scufflines, only 3 or 4 MEGA light hairlines, only 1 small hairline type mark, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record indeed!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards  - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Emitex' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated MONO Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO splits, only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though I strongly suspect that most people would grade higher still, as this is still a very VERY decent cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
