Description
A much sought after BEST sounding pressing of The Beatles' classic album RUBBER SOUL!
Hazel Yarwood was the first female cutting engineer at EMI. Considered a master at her craft, she mainly cut classical music during her time there from 1947 to 1985. She was so incredible that EMI sent all of their disc mastering engineers from their German arm to Abbey Road to take lessons from her. She was brought in to help re-cut Rubber Soul after Harry Moss' attempt. THIS is the cut that finally did it. The -5/-5!!!
This pressing is becoming more and more scarce by the day. At this point, 60 years later, they are hardly ever seen in above VG condition, especially a factory sample.
This copy lies perfectly flat, no skips or jumps and plays extremely well with very little background noise. A few wispy marks on both sides that do not affect the great playback.
XEX 580-5 1R
XEX 579-5 2GR
Original Emitex inner sleeve is in excellent condition with no splits.
Garrod and Lofthouse cover has slight edge wear and a small amount of laminate lift, spine is extremely good as is the reverse, so overall a respectable VG+.
Starting at a low price and no reserve, no overseas buyers please.
