THE BEATLES - RUBBER SOUL
1st UK MONO pressing on the Parlophone Label PMC 1267
Stamper Matrixes: XEX579-1 and XEX580-1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some general remarks: Very 1st UK MONO pressing, loud cut, stunning sonics.
I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.
The Vinyl: EXCELLENT
The surfaces are clean and shiny, a few scuffs and hairlines, no scratches. There is very soft and moderate crackling between the tracks and some static at the beginning of "Michelle". No loud clicks or pops. I graded this one at a very high volume. The sonics on this album are breathtaking, glorious MONO-sound with deep bass, sparkling heights and dynamics 2die4.
The Labels: EXCELLENT
A few spindle traces only, clean. KT Tax Code.
The laminated Sleeve: EXCELLENT
Original first flip-back Sleeve laminated on front and non-laminated on back. A few laminate creases, some yellowing from age on back. No splits or tears. Spine is strong and clearly readable.
"EMITEX" Inner Sleeve: VG+
No splits, some creases, clean. It is taped near the center at the 6 o'clock position - still very presentable.
A truly very 1st UK-MONO-pressing and highly recommended, especially for its sonics.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee listed above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
