Description

Record plays great, no skips, excellent sound. Album cover has no splits, no markings, no writing - slight ringwear at bottom and top of front cover and a small spot on the top of the back cover. The paper sleeve has 3 splits that are nicely repaired with transparent tape. It's in great shape for a 60 year old album. Three days after the UK release, Capitol Records issued this US release. It is different from how The Beatles had intended it to sound. Capitol reconfigured its tracklist in attempt to create a folk rock album to please the US market. They added I've Just Seen A Face and Its Only Love, and omitted Drive My Car, Nowhere Man, What Goes On, and If I Needed Someone. Rubber Soul was a huge hit with the American public, spending 59 weeks in the US charts. It topped the Billboard chart on 8 January 1966, and sold 1.2 million copies in its first nine days.
