THE BEATLES - 'RUBBER SOUL'

1967/8 UK PARLOPHONE STEREO LP

**ULTRA-RARE SILVER STEREO COVER LOGO**

Contrary to normal practise at the time, EMI omitted the usual mono and stereo cover logos from this release.
However, an extremely limited number were produced with front black and silver stereo logos which were similar in size & type used on 'Revolver'.
These may have been for export purposes only as all copies I have had were originally purchased outside the UK.
Most likely produced in 1967/8, these covers housed not first pressings, but second press (-3/-3) matrix discs. No mono covers were produced with logos.

This rare variant '2nd' stereo pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: PCS 3075
The labels carry the 'Sold in UK..'text and 'Gramophone Co..' rims.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible on the side 1 label.

Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback Garrod & Lofthouse stereo cover with the front SILVER stereo logo.
Complete with its original white inner-sleeve.

Matrix numbers: YEX 178-3 & YEX 179-3
Stamper numbers: 2/GH & 2/GA

CONDITION


Cover: VERY GOOD

This very rare example displays moderate/normal handling & storage wear but no major faults.
The front panel bears some light spine wrinkles, 3 'thumbnails' and a crease to the upper right corner. However, the logo is clean & undamaged.
There is some bruising to the upper right & lower left corners and the opening edges display some light wear but have no tears.
The rear panel displays some areas or discolouration but is otherwise clean and without any writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks are intact and the seams are strong, unstressed & unsplit - as is the clearly worded spine.

Disc


Labels: EXCELLENT

Visual: EXCELLENT

Rarely & carefully played, the surfaces bear just some light paper hairlines and the occaisional light mark visible only under a halogen desk lamp.
Further close inspection reveals an occaisional light hairline scratch but no significant feelable marks or faults.
Quality, sharp-edged, heavy vinyl which lies 100% flat on both sides with no dishing or warping.

Audio: EXCELLENT

Pristine, clean & bright sound throughout with no traces of any crackle or groovewear distortion in either channel on any track.
Both run-ins and all bands play quietly with just a few clicks between tracks 6 & 7 on side 1 and tracks 1 & 2 on side 2 but none during the music.
There are no jumps or repeats or any other signs of audible wear.


Strict visual grading in daylight and directly under a halogen desk lamp & audibly at volume on high-end audio equipment
