On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Rubber Soul" and is an ORIGINAL 1965 UK MONO 'Corrected' 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEATLES RAREST LPs EVER, AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS THE ULTRA RARE 'CORRECTED' MONO 1ST PRESSING - WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RE-CUT!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN LATE 1965, IT WAS MIXED INCORRECTLY WITH 1/1 MATRIXES AND A COARSE LOUD CUT MIX.  NATURALLY AS IT WAS AT FIRST RELEASE - QUITE A FEW LOUD CUT 1/1 MATRIX COPIES WERE SOLD.  ALMOST IMMEDIATELY A VERY POOR CORRECTION TO THE MIX WAS MADE - WITH 4/4 MATRIX.  THIS IS HOW MOST COPIES WERE SOLD LIKE - BUT EVEN ON THIS ATTEMPTED CORRECTION THE MIX WAS VERY POOR INDEED!!!!  EVENTUALLY SOME TIME WAS SPENT ON THE LP DOING THE MIX CORRECTLY - AND EVENTUALLY IT WAS CORRECTLY DONE (WITH 5/5 MONO MATRIXES), AND HOW THE BEATLES WANTED IT TO BE HEARD!!!!  IT EVEN HAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOOKING AND MUCH SHINER GROOVES ON THE RECORD!!!!  STRANGELY BECAUSE THE MIX TOOK SO LONG TO PROPERLY CORRECT - THE 5/5 MONO VERSION IS DEFINITELY THE HARDEST AND RAREST VERSION TO NOW FIND!!!!  AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME AT ALL CALLING THIS A '1ST PRESSING'!!!!  BECAUSE IN EFFECT - THE 1/1 AND 4/4 MATRIX VERSIONS ARE SIMPLY MISPRESSINGS AND NOT HOW THE LP WAS MEANT TO BE HEARD AT ALL!!!!  SO THE 5/5 MONO VERSION IS THE ONLY COMPLETELY 'FINISHED' MONO 1ST PRESSING - IS BETTER LOOKING, BETTER SOUNDING, AND BY FAR THE HARDEST ONE TO LOCATE!!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED COPIES ONLY!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / PARLOPHONE THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), SENT TO RADIO STATIONS OR REVIEWERS AT THE TIME (FOR PROMOTION), TAKEN WITH PERMISSION BY EMPLOYEES (AND STICKERED TO STOP RE-SALE), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!!  BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP ONE OF THE RAREST BEATLES LPs EVER!!!!

No is PMC 1267 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a MONO 1st pressing!!!!  All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 1 MEGA light TINY scuffline trace, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The record must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards  - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Emitex' inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corner tips, NO splits, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, only 1 TINY laminate indentation, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL (I will say possible evidence of trimming here in case, but actually this cover has been so very VERY well cared for, that in my opinion the opening edge is exactly as manufactured - as the record has clearly barely been accessed AT ALL!)!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, a TINY wear trace to the bottom left flipback corner, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and is very VERY close to a grade above!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE RAREST EVER 'FINAL CORRECTED' MONO 1ST PRESSING - EXACTLY AS THE BEATLES WANTED THIS LP TO BE HEARD!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
