Beatles Rubber Soul UK Stereo Black Yellow Labels CLEAN

Original Beatles Rubber Soul (Parlophone PCS 3075) UK STEREO pressing with black and yellow labels (with "SOLD IN U.K. ..." text  and KT tax code) in great condition (see grading below).
In Great Britain during the mid-1960's, production of mono pressed discs far exceeded the amount of stereo pressed discs as most consumers of pop music did not own stereo equipment at the time. As a result, stereo pressed original black and yellow label Beatles albums are much harder to come by especially in nice condition or better and are considered quite desirable by collectors and audiophiles.

Grading:  Disc labels: (NM/NM): Both labels are super clean with barely a trace of use. NO writing and NO marks. Disc:  (NM-/NM-): Heavyweight disc looks extremely clean and super glossy with traces of light use only. Disc is NOT warped. The audio is near mint minus to near mint on both sides. Superb dynamic true stereo audio with clear channel separation with NO skips, NO jumps and NO loud pops. Superb example! Jacket: (EX): The front laminated Garrod & Lofthouse "Patent pending" rear flip back jacket is stiff and flat with light storage/handling wear. The laminate on the front is particularly clean with only three small hardly noticeable creases near the left edge. It is rare for a laminated sleeve to be completely free of creases and this one is exceptional in that regard. Great seams and spine. Light corner wear. NO writing, NO seam splits, NO stickers or glue residue.
Original EMI inner sleeve is also included. It is in excellent plus condition with two seam splits on the sides but with No tears and No writing.

TERMS:
- Payment: Winning bidder should contact us within 3 days of the auction’s ending. Auction must be paid 7 days after the auction closes unless other arrangements are made. If not, a Non-Paying Bidder Alert will be submitted to eBay and the auction will be considered null and void. 

Grading: We are conservative graders and try to be as concise and as accurate as possible without a lot of the standard hype.  We will never explain the condition of an item by saying it "looks good for something this old" as we consider that patronizing and an insult to potential buyers. Please ask us questions about any details about the item before bidding.

Shipping:
Packaging: All items are professionally packaged with high quality unused materials for shipment. No items will ever be loose in their shipping cartons. Records that are not sealed in their original shrink-wrap will never be shipped in their original jackets. All vinyl will be in poly-lined sleeves and outside of their original jackets so that no seam splitting can result from the shipping process.

Shipping charges for vinyl discs, posters and memorabilia include the cost of postage and boxes with extra padding. Good packaging is not cost effective but we insist upon safe and secure packaging. We do not want you to receive damaged items!
- STILL SEALED items cannot be returned unless they are STILL SEALED. No exceptions.
