THE BEATLES - Rubber Soul
Original UK Yellow & Black Mono Second Press LP
Parlophone (PMC 1267)
Scarce original UK 2nd press on the Yellow & Black Parlophone label with "The Gramophone Co Ltd..." & "Sold in the UK..." text. KT Tax code on side Two. Housed in a front laminated, flipback, Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve. Comes with an EMI advertising inner sleeve. This copy is still in nice collectable condition.
Matrix:
Side 1) YEX 579-5 (Mother/Stampers: 1 OH)
Side 2) YEX 580-5 (Mother/Stampers: 1 PH)
The sleeve is in excellent condition with just light wear. Some laminate creasing on front, bend bottom right, otherwise just light shelf & handling wear & slight discolouration to rear. A nice solid example. The inner sleeve is also in excellent condition.
The labels are in excellent condition with light spindle wear & a few spider marks. The vinyl retains its original sheen with few signs of being played. Has its original sheen with just the odd wispy line & just a few dull scuffs when viewed under a very bright light. Playback on our sensitive set up is very nice.
Still in nice collectable condition. The sleeve has no major issues, just light wear. The labels are in nice condition with light spindle wear & some spider marks. The vinyl retains its original sheen with few signs of being played.
Please note that this grading has nothing to do with the age of the record, we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 4 days old.
For the last 20 years we have been looking through 100's & even 1,000's of records every week, but we still only pull out a tiny percentage to sell on.
Condition
Sleeve: Excellent (No tears, splits, writing or ringwear, some light laminate creasing, one bend botton right, otherwise just light shelf/handling wear & slight discolouration to rear) Record: Excellent (still has its original sheen with few signs of being played, No scratches, just the odd wispy line & just a few dull small scuffs when viewed under a bright light, playback is very nice) Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under a 100 Watt bulb. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.SHIPPING COSTS

Near Mint
Almost mint.Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care.Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
