Side 2. What Goes On, Girl, I'm Looking Through You, In My Life, Wait, If I Needed Someone, Run For Your Life.

Record condition: Very good condition with various light surface marks visible. No major scratches or anything that affects the play badly. I've played both sides of the record and there is a bit of background noise in between certain tracks now and again. None are over the top for the condition of the record and do not spoil the enjoyment of listening. There are no actual stops or sticks and the record plays well all the way through.     

Label condition:  The labels are both in very good condition. There is evidence of play around the spindle hole on both sides. There are 3 small initials just visible written quite small on side 1 label. 

Outer Sleeve/Cover:  Original front laminated flip-back sleeve printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., in good condition with no major laminate lift, just a few light ripples under the laminate in various places. The largest ripples are across the top and bottom corner towards the spine edge. Good few smaller ripples at the side towards the opening edge. Three small initials written in small print on the brown of the album title. No rips or tears at all. The rear flip-back is very good indeed. Just a bit of brown general ageing along the glue lines for the flip-backs and a bit of general grubbyness through handling. 

Spine condition: The spine itself is very nice and straight with all the printed text clearly undamaged and visible. 

    Inner Sleeve: White paper poly-lined die-cut inner sleeve in very good, original condition.

Summary:  Classic Rubber Soul LP in good, original condition.

I have been a collector of Vinyl records since the late 1960's and have been selling on eBay for over 12 years. I also sell Music Memorabilia, Die-cast Models, Motoring Memorabilia and interesting items from the 1960's & 1970's, the best decades I feel in my life. I have a huge collection and only sell items of quality that I am proud to own myself. I describe everything honestly and take pride in my feedback and customer comments left for me. I offer a full refund if anything is not up to the standard I have described.

All my records are played and graded by the "Bible" Record Collector's Grading System. Please see below:-

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extras such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.  

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. YOU CAN BID ON MY ITEMS, BUY MY ITEMS WITH CONFIDENCE.

ANY PROBLEMS I WILL ALWAYS SORT THEM OUT.

QUALITY AND SERVICE GUARANTEED.
