Many thanks for your interest in my records! I've collected records for over 30 years and as such sometimes take stock and realise how many duplicates I have accrued, and how many records I no longer listen to. I grade using the RRPG Record Collector grading system, though feel that I grade down if anything, please check my feedback for proof of this! I have sold many records (some incredibly rare ones in the 4 figures) over the years, so please rest assured that my gradings have been satisfactory so far! Though, If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me before leaving negative feedback. I haven't had negative feedback so far, and don't intend to start now if I can at all help it!
I'll combine records for the same price for up to 3 disks (double LPs count as 2!), and at as reduced a rate as I can beyond that! International bidders please ask, as I'll send them as cheaply as possible for you,but they must be sent tracked and insured.
The handful (11) of 60s LPs by the Beatles Stones and Kinks that I'm listing this afternoon (not all my other listings!) are lesser condition copies, but still will be desirable to people, at somepoint they will have been a copy in my collection,or a stop-gap copy until the real thing came along! Please note that my other listings are all very nice, I'm just clearing a bit of shelf space of playable, but lesser copies this afternoon!

Here we have a rare UK 1st STEREO pressing of THE BEATLES legendary Rubber Soul from 1965 on Parlophone PCS 3075. Stereo copies as you will know sold in siginificantly lower numbers in the UK during the 60s up until about 1967/68 where more people started investing in Stereo players. But I don't really know why I'm telling you this! I'm sure you know already!

Anyway here is a 1st UK copy of The Beatles' Rubber Soul, with -2/-2 matrices, wide stereo text, and TNR font! Oddly, this copy seems (as far as I can tell) not to have a tax code anywhere, be it in the deadwax, or embossed in the centre of either of the labels. Not even a correcting tax code sticker on the sleeve! What an oversight! Someone should inform the UK pricings inspectors... sadly disbanded in 1968,but this really shouldn't have happened, and really I can't think of another pre 1968 Beatles release which has missed this completely! I certainly have never noticed one anyway,and I have 1000s of discs and variations!

Record Condition: VG- this record has definitely not been a wallflower,and has had been played quite alot, though seemingly on decent equipment,but when angled under strong direct light, the surfaces have general surface marks, a few more visible,which creat a few ticks and pops, though nothing to take away to seriously from the fantastic musicality on this LP . The Stereo mix however,ifyou don't already know,is rather interesting,as on certain tracks the seperation can have the lead vocals on one side and the band on another,offering you your very own authentic kareoke versions of Beatles tracks! Hey, you've got to find something to entertain yourself with during lockdown eh?!

Sleeve Conditon: VG generally decent sleeve, alittle handling wear, but the laminated front has stood this generally well, with just a few creases and handling crescents etc, the non-laminated back cover is still pretty decent too, it has a bitof age related staining/yellowing, but it's completely free from graffiti/tears etc. The edges are OK, the opening mouth has no tears etc, and the spine is nice.
