Description
The Beatles - Rubber Soul.
This exceptional STEREO UK 2nd pressing of The Beatles sixth studio album, Rubber Soul, provides an 'as-new' listening experience that the audiophiles amongst you strive to collect.
The vinyl has the extremely rare 3rd variant labels identified by the single boxed EMI logo. A variant that was only available for a short time between late 1969 and early 1970 and widely praised as being associated with records with superb audio.
The vinyl is housed within the original Garrod & Lofthouse flip-back sleeve with the 'loose thread' photograph on the front cover.
The album is complete with the original EMI 'care of your record' inner sleeve.

Condition:
Vinyl: MINT -
Labels: MINT-
The labels are bright, clean and without writing. Only very light spindle marks can be seen on either side but slight rubbing can be seen around both spindle holes.
Visual: MINT -
Immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked in bright daylight. Under the haze of a halogen bulb only subtle paper scuffs can be seen. A really strong example.
Sound Quality: MINT -
The audio is fantastic. This copy has clearly only been played a handful of times on good equipment. There is no sign of groove/play wear. There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and minimal static in between tracks. There is great channel separation, clear vocals and a deep and full bass. You will not need to look for another copy of this fantastic record.
This 1st class sleeve looks fantastic. The front retains the original lustre and the cover image maintains bright, vibrant colours. A small crease is visible to the top left hand corner. The rear is remarkably clean. The top right hand corner has subtle rubbing. All remaining corners are crisp and sharp. The opening and top and bottom edges along with the 'square' spine are without any wear.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original polythene lined die-cut inner sleeve looks great. It is very clean, has minimal discolouration and shows only minor creasing. The vinyl is housed within audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer. Non-EU international bidders please get in touch for an accurate postage cost if you do not want to ship with the GSP.
