THE BEATLES

'RUBBER SOUL'

In the past, early 1970's issues of Beatles LPs have been unfairly judged as being inferior to 1st pressings. However, close attention to detail, and more importantly, sound quality shows that they sound as good as or in some cases, a little better than their overplayed, more expensive 1st pressing counterparts.

These discs pressed in the UK between October 1969 until late 1972 on 1 or 2 EMI Box, 'Gramophone Co..' rimmed labels, were pressed on high quality vinyl and in most cases used the same original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as 1st pressings. All boast outstanding sound quality which later solid-state cuts never matched.

If you value sound quality and want to enjoy tube-cut UK Beatles mixes at a fraction of the price of the originals, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: MINT

Perfect - no spindle trails to either side.

Visual: 1. NEAR MINT 2. MINT

A top-class copy which apart from a light storage mark on side 1 is pristine & unmarked both in strong daylight AND directly under my powerful halogen light. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.

Play: MINT

This exquisite sounding copy is possibly UNPLAYED. My careful, single playcheck at volume revealed absolutely no traces of any audible wear whatsoever, with all tracks playing and sounding 'as new'.

Cover

NEAR MINT

An untarnished, pristine example which retains an perfect, undamaged high-gloss with no creasing or 'thumbnails' to any area. All corners and both opening edges are in superb shape with no discernable wear to any. The rear panel is bright white with no writing or missing paper. Both seams and the spine are in perfect, unstressed, unbent & undamaged condition.

Inner-sleeve

NEAR MINT

Apart from a hint of natural age-toning to the paper, this is in 'as new' with no writing, tears or splits.
