THE BEATLES Rubber Soul UK 65 PARLOPHONE mono 1ST PRESS w/Patents Pending Sleeve

My listings will include rare and not so rare but as vinyl is in such demand these days I'll be covering the whole spectrum, as I firmly believe there is a market for everything (NO musical snobbery !!). All records have been sourced ,by extensive advertising, from private collections, and are not from shoddy wholesale job lots. I've a huge stock of records at the moment so if there is anything you are looking for drop me an email. Rest assured, MINT means MINT (no marks/no scratches/no spindle marks/faultless vinyl/faultless sleeve)....and I'm not afraid to use the term VERY GOOD which, incidentally, does not mean trashed !!!! I'll be continually listing some great stuff so keep an eye out. 

AND REMEMBER, MOST IMPORTANTLY, VINYL IS FOR PLAYING !!!!!!

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING

CRISP PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE.

VINYL PLAYED BUT PLAYS VERY WELL.

CONDITION

SLEEVE

The Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd Patents Pending front laminated flipback sleeve is in VERY GOOD condition. A solid, crisp sleeve with a few laminate creases round the edges and on the front face, wear to the corners and to parts of the top and bottom edges, slight ring wear, and a few indentations. There are no dings/dents, no discolouration, no tears, no mustiness, no grubbiness, no sellotape, no folds, no writing, no seam splits, no wear and no softening to excellent opening edges, and no wear to an excellent square spine. The unlaminated rear face is very white with only slight ring wear, a small white sticker near the top....the 3 flipbacks are excellent. The sleeve grades VERY GOOD

INNER SLEEVE

New replacement polylined inner sleeve.

VINYL

The record has been played (but not too much!)....has a couple of small marks which do sound for only a few revolutions, and only quite a few light largely inconsequential surface marks and scuffs, and only a few of the very lightest sleeve removal scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light. The vinyl grades VERY GOOD and plays with very light background noise...with NO skips, NO jumps, NO sticks, and NO distortion (except during "Michelle" which also plays with crackle in parts...which seems to be the norm with this record (!?)).

LABELS

The labels grade EXCELLENT+++ , with quite a few visible spindle marks on each side (which twirl about a fair bit), with little or no wear to excellent spindle holes, and no unwanted wear or writing.

PLEASE NOTE: UNLESS NOT NEEDED or THE RECORD IS SEALED....ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED ON AN "OKKI NOKKI RECORD CLEANING MACHINE" using the correct  mix of distilled water and concentrate !!

THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CLEANED, ZAPPED WITH AN ANTI-STATIC GUN, AND BEEN GIVEN A NEW POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE.

If I'm not entirely happy with the way a record plays, I don't list it....simple as that !
