Description

"Rubber Soul"  PMC 1267  (1965)

Matrix numbers and Stamper Code info:

  • Side 1 : XEX 579-4,  7/GOD
  • Side 2 : XEX 580-1,  3/LR (there is an "C" above the "3" and a "6" below it)

Cover :  EX+

  • there are only a few light laminate creases ... much less than average for an original 1965 cover.
  • no ringwear
  • the back is nice and white with no stains, discolouration, or writing.  There is no damage to the flipbacks.
  • the spine is clearly readable and perfect.  There are no seam splits, but the top seam has frayed slightly in the centre.  The bottom seam is flawless.

Record : NM- / EX+

  • Side 1 looks super clean with only a few super light surface marks (which are only visible under a direct light).  Side 2 is almost as nice with a few more surface marks than Side 1.
  • record appears to have only been played a few times.  It retains virtually all of it's original shine.
  • the labels have no writing or stickers.  Neither side has any wear by the spindle hole.  When held into a light, a few light spindle marks are visible.
  • to hear a sample of how the LP plays, please see the "Hear this LP" section below

Special info :  This is an original pressing from 1965.  Side 2 contains the rare -1 matrix number ("Loud Cut" version), whereas Side 1 has the standard -4 matrix number.  It also has the standard "KT" tax code embossed on the Side 1 label.  Cover is printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.  Comes with the original "Use Emitex" polylined inner sleeve.

Shipping :   I will be shipping these LPs from the USA, so shipping to anywhere outside the USA will be $10 (approx. 4.50 GBP).  If you live in the USA, Priority mail shipping is $6 and Media Mail shipping will be $3. 

SPECIAL OFFER - if you live in the USA or the UK, no matter how many LPs you win from me, I will only charge you the shipping on your first LP!  So, if you win 10 LPs, you only pay the shipping costs for 1 ... I'll handle the rest!  (Shipping to all other countries will be at cost ... I do not charge extra for "handling" or "packaging.")

Please email me if you have any questions.  Thank you for looking!
