As a vinyl collector, I’ll always give you every descriptive detail that I would want to know if I was the customer. I’m not one of these sellers who’ll just list a vinyl and say the grading and that’s it... and most of the vinyl sellers on here just don’t have a clue anyhow (they seriously don't, I only trust a certain few dealers on here). I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and along with those years, I have gained the expertise and knowledge of how a vinyl should be cared for. So please be rest assured that you'll receive what is being described here.

All my vinyl is play-tested before listing on a high-end stereo set-up (Set-up listed later)

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of UK released Beatles LPs, remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet, which included splitting 'The Beatles' into 2 separate covers.

On offer here is The Beatles Rubber Soul pressed by Mobile Fidelity and the audio on this is fantastic. One of the best sounding Rubber Soul pressings out there. The vinyl is in beautiful condition. You won't be disappointed. Tough to find in the Uk

Matrix Numbers:
Side A – MFSL-1-106-A2 H 1 2 3
Side B – MFSL-1-106-B2 H 1 2 1

Vinyl Visual: Near Mint

I've inspected both sides under strong LED light and both sides look fantastic. I'm being very picky here, there's just a superficial extremely light mark on Side 1 Track 1 that 100% doesn't sound. Not even on my highly sensitive set-up. I can't even photo it because it's that superficial. It's definitely not a handling mark, most likely done during the pressing process.

Vinyl Audio: Near Mint

MFSL did a great job here. The audio is fantastic and there are no issues to report on playback. These JVC virgin vinyl are incredible in quality. They're the quietest vinyl I've ever had the pleasure to listen too. Hardly any background noise at all.

Labels: Excellent+

Both labels are in top condition with side 1 just having a small squiggle of spindle trail lines near the center hole. On Side 2, I can only see one spindle line indicating the vinyl has hardly been played.

Sleeve: Excellent

Would be near mint if it wasn't for a small layer of paper coming away from the top left corner. You could probably pritt stick glue it down if it bugs you. Please see photo, but still a nice condition sleeve with no split seams.

Inner-Sleeve: Excellent

Inner cardboard sleeve in great condition with no split seams. Just age related discolouration when opened which is very common with these.

All in all a lovely sounding Rubber Soul. Don't miss it! tough to find in the UK

All my vinyl is cleaned with a Project VC-S3 Record vacuum cleaning machine with Project Wash-it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I recommend cleaning a vinyl. Never Rub wipe because all you’re doing is pushing dirt/dust deeper into the groves and potentially unnecessarily scratching yourvinyp records.

Postage and Packaging:
UK Shipping Only! Excluding Gibraltar.
I will only send via The Royal Mail Tracked.
All vinyl is packed in strong cardboard vinyl mailers with the aid of cardboard stiffeners for extra protection.

Vinyl will be separated from the original outer and inner sleeves and placed in new poly-lined inners. This is to prevent split seam damage to the original outer and inner sleeves during postage.

Payment within 4 days or your order may be cancelled. Please no serial negative feedback buyers, your order may also be cancelled.

Returns:
If you are not entirely happy with your purchase, please contact me before leaving feedback and I’ll always resolve any issue. If you want to send the item back, I’ll only pay return shipping fees if I’m at fault; I’m human after all. But if you’re sending the item back just for the sake of it, that’s a different story…you’ll have to pay the return fee. Please repack the vinyl the exact way you received it, if you return damaged goods, your return will not be accepted. Please don’t destroy the cardboard vinyl mailer upon opening because you can reuse it.
