THE BEATLES RUBBER SOUL WAS FIRST RELEASED ON THE 3rd DECEMBER 1965 ON THE PARLOPHONE RECORD LABEL PMC 1267 MONO FORMAT, THEY WERE "LOUD CUT" VERSIONS. THIS IS A SECOND PRESSING PROBABLY PRESSED IN EARLY 1966 AND IS A "NORMAL" PRESSING, MATRIX: XEX 579-4/XEX 580-4., THE LABEL FONT IS PRINTED IN "TIME NEW ROMAN" TYP SET FOR SONG TITLES AND ARTIST NAMES ETC. SIDE ONE LEBEL HAS THE KT TAX CODE.
THE SLEEVE PRINTERS NAME AND CREDIT: "6512 LL GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD" PATENT PENDING BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE. THE PARLOGHONE LOGO MARK WITH "TRADE MARK OF THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD" UNDERNEATH AT THE REAR BOTTOM LEFTHAND SIDE. FRONT COVER SHOWS A PHOTO OF THE BEATLES, THERE IS A LOOSE THREAD SHOWN ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF JOHN'S JACKET.
THE SLEEVE CONDITION IS VERY GOOD, FRONT COVER RETAINING ALL ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, VERY LITTLE ROUNDING OF THE CORNERS, STRONG SPINE, TITLE IS CLEARLY READABLE, SOME CREASING TO EDGES, THE OPENING IS FIRM. BACK COVER HAS AGE RELATED YELLOWING. THE INNER HAS LONG SINCE DISINTEGRATED AND A NEW REPLACEMENT IS PROVIDED.
THE VINYL: VISUALLY GOOD, THERE ARE LOTS OF LIGHT SCRATCH MARKS. PLAYBACK WELL I HAVE LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES TWISE, THE SOUND IS CLEAR AND PUNCHY, THERE IS CRACKLE, SOME CLICKS AND POPS, NO SKIPS OR JUMPS THOUGH, IF YOU WANT A BIT OF AGE RELATED CARICATURE FROM A WELL LOVED 60 YEAR OLD RECORD YOU WILL LOVE IT. THE RECORD STILL GIVES A LOT OF PLEASURE FOR THE LISTENER.
