Description
THE BEATLES "RUBBER SOUL" ORIGINAL 1965 CAPITOL RECORDS MONO RELEASE - T 2442. THIS IS CERTAINLY A MUST HAVE ALBUM FOR ANY TRUE BEATLES FAN.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"Rubber Soul is regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the greatest albums in popular music history. In 2012, Rubber Soul was ranked number five on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2013, after the British Phonographic Industry changed their sales award rules, the album was declared as having gone platinum.
Rubber Soul is a folk rock album that incorporates R&B, pop, soul, and psychedelic music styles. The album is regarded by musicologists as a major artistic achievement that continued the Beatles' artistic maturation while attaining widespread critical and commercial success. It was the second Beatles album – after the British A Hard Day's Night album – to contain only original material."
WOW!! HERE'S ANOTHER ONE I REALLY HATE TO PART WITH !!! BUT MY LOSS IS (COULD BE) YOUR GAIN. THIS IS CERTAINLY A CLASSIC ALBUM AND ANOTHER MILESTONE IN THE BEATLES MUSICAL PROGRESSION SHOWING ONCE AGAIN THE BOY'S DARKER MORE MOODY AND SERIOUS SIDE WITH SONGS LIKE "NORWEGIAN WOOD" AND "THINK FOR YOURSELF" AND "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE". OF COURSE YOU STILL GET THOSE GREAT LOVE SONGS THAT ONLY THE BEATLES COULD DO, LIKE "MICHELLE" AND "IT'S ONLY LOVE".
THIS JACKET FOR THIS IS AWESOME LOOKING!!! IT DISPLAYS WITH A FABULOUS AMOUNT OF GLOSS. THERE IS NO SIGN OF LP IMPRESSION/RING WEAR. THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH THE LETTERING COMPLETELY VISIBLE. OTHER THAN MINOR CORNER DINGS, THE ONLY REAL FLAW IS A SEAM SPLIT ON THE MIDDLE ON TOP EDGE (SEE PICS). THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT. IF YOU WANT A NICE JACKET/COVER - THIS IS IT!!! THE WHITE BORDER AROUND THE PASTE OVER COVER PHOTO IS A BEAUTIFUL CLEAN WHITE. COMPLETE WITH CAPITOL'66 SOUNDS GREAT GOLDEN YELLOW INNER SLEEVE (SPLIT ON BOTTOM AND ONE SIDE).
AS FAR AS THE LP IS CONCERNED.... I'D CALL IT EXCELLENT IN APPEARANCE.. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW VISIBLE SCRATCHES & SCUFFS TO VINYL WHICH IS NICE SHINY BLACK. THE LABELS ARE IMMACULATE LOOKING WITH VIRTUALLY NO WEAR AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THIS ONE'S A EAR PLEASER, IT PLAYS FANTASTIC (OK LET'S CALL IT REALLY NICE TO BE ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE) - THIS ONE HAS THAT GREAT MONO/ANALOG SOUND!!!! PLAY TESTED ON A SANSUI QRX-5500 QUADRAPHONIC RECEIVER USING A HIGH QUALITY AUDIO-TECHNICA CARTRIDGE/STYLUS WITH ALL 4 SPEAKERS KICKING OUT SOUND. IT PLAYS FREE OF SKIPS. THE WORST SPOT ON THE WHOLE ALBUM COMES AT THE VERY END OF "GIRL" AND THE LEAD IN TO "I'M LOOKING THRU YOU" WHERE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL SCRATCHES THAT CREATE ABOUT 6 RECURRING POPS (5-6 ON SCALE OF 10). ONCE "I'M LOOKING THRU YOU" BEGINS THE NOISE IS GONE. ASIDE FORM THAT, ANY OTHER POPS ARE BARELY AUDIBLE (THE LOUDEST I'D RATE AS A 4 ON A SCALE OF 10) AND FAR AND FEW BETWEEN (THERE ARE JUST A FEW RECURRING ONES). THIS BABY IS FAIRLY FREE OF THAT ANNOYING SURFACE CRACKLE THAT CAN RUIN OR DISTRACT FROM YOUR LISTENING EXPERIENCE (WHERE PRESENT IT RATES A 2-3 ON A SCALE OF 10).
I'D DARE SAY YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER ALL AROUND EXAMPLE OF THIS GREAT BEATLES ALBUM FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
