RUBBER SOUL UK - 1st MONO PRESSING - 1965
AUCTION ONLY - NO OFFERS PLEASE
IF YOU ARE BIDDING FROM THE USA, EBAY WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADD AN ADDITIONAL TAX TO YOUR WINNING BID
=====================================================================================
This is a true 1st pressing with its 1/1 matrix endings. Known us 'LOUD CUT' for the thumping bass throughout most of the tracks.
=====================================================================================
THE DISC: 1/1 matrix endings Stampers: 2/AP 1/H
EX-: Audio is crystal clear; near silent run ins/outs. The easily damaged 'Michelle* plays without any of the usual distortion on the high notes, which is a common problem on this track. Most of the tracks play perfectly without any issue. There are a few places that have some mild 'ticks' mainly between the tracks, but these are very gentle. This is a fabulous sounding copy which, realistically, would be hard to upgrade. VG: Visually, this disc still retains a good gloss lustre. It has been played and enjoyed but has been handled well and as a result, there are just a limited number of light marks/lines on each side. Most original mono copies are covered in numerous lines and scuffs but that is not the case here. If you are looking for a powerful sounding 'Loud Cut' in very good condition throughout, then this disc will deliver. THE COVER:
GOOD+: A solid example made from thick card stock. It has aged toned. especially the unprotected back panel and the front panel displays perimeter wrinkles and crescent thumb bends. However, there is no laminate 'bubbling' and the spine has perfect lettering. There is disc penetration through the centre of the top seam but this could be closed by an internal tape repair.
THE INNER SLEEVE:
VG: Correct, rice paper lined, Made In England issue. Age toned with two invisible internal seam repairs.

The photos are of the actual item. I always use professional, anti-static, cleaning fluid and listen to the whole disc. Professional mailers are always used.
I have more Beatles records listed right now, so please have a look.
