THE BEATLES Rubber Soul 1965 (LOUD CUT) UK LP PMC 1267 
CROSSOVER LABELS MONO Matrix -1/-1, Rare Ernest J. Day sleeve VG+

The original Beatles' Rubber Soul mono album, released on Parlophone's PMC 1267 Mono "Loud cut" press (matrix Side 1 XEX 579-1, Side 2 XEX 580-1), is a classic iconic 1960s rock LP album with rare Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd London flipback sleeve, and Crossover labels (TNR and Sans-Serif). First press, so-called 'loud cut' version of Rubber Soul mono album 1965. The vinyl record audio was re-cut after EMI decided, that it was too loud and only the loud cut version carries -1 / -1 matrix numbers.
These are also the early Sans-serif label side 2, that graced earlier copies of the album "Loud Cut". A distinctive feature is that the authorship indicator * on these labels is located away from the song title - Rare Variant B. This Sans-serif label has a date located directly below the matrix number. The matrix number is XEX 579-1/XEX 580-1.

Vinyl cleaned with Ultrasonic records cleaning machine and audio tested.

No scratches, No cracks or marks, No skips/jumps, No repeats, plays well and has been stored very carefully. For the more precise, there are occasional light surface noises/light pops in some quiet places, some quiet crackles and a few clicks in the quiet pauses between songs, which is normal for used 60 year old vinyl.
