Description
Original 1965 UK Mono pressing – Parlophone PMC 1267
A genuine 1965 UK mono copy of one of The Beatles' most important and collectable albums.
This is the -4 / -4 UK mono pressing, with the following matrix numbers:
Side 1: XEX 579-4
Side 2: XEX 580-4
The -4/-4 matrices identify this as the early UK second mono pressing. This is not the withdrawn -1/-1 "Loud Cut", and I have deliberately described the pressing accurately for collectors.

Condition
VINYL: VG / VG+ visually
The record has a good glossy appearance but does show a number of light surface marks/hairlines consistent with its age and previous use. These are visible under strong light, so I have photographed the playing surfaces carefully.
Please study all photographs as they form an important part of the description.
I have not described the record as Mint or Near Mint, and I would recommend that potential buyers consider the photographs when assessing the condition.
SLEEVE: VG
The original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve is present. It has age-related wear, including creasing and signs of handling/storage, but retains the original artwork and construction.
The original Emitex inner sleeve is also included, which is a nice feature for collectors.
Important collector information
The run-out grooves have been photographed specifically so that the pressing can be independently identified.
The matrix numbers are:
XEX 579-4 / XEX 580-4
Please note that this is not being sold as the rare -1/-1 Loud Cut pressing. It is being accurately offered as the early UK -4/-4 mono pressing.
A great Beatles collector's copy
A genuine 1965 UK mono Rubber Soul, complete with its period sleeve and original Emitex inner sleeve.
A lovely opportunity to own an original UK pressing of this classic Beatles album.
Please see all photographs for the exact item and condition.
