The much sought after BEST sounding pressing of The Beatles' classic album RUBBER SOUL (WITH THE EARLIEST STAMPERS I HAVE SEEN FOR THIS PRESSING)!

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. Let alone with low single digit + single letter stampers! The last copy just sold on here for over $7000. 

One of you will leave this auction as probably one of the handful of people in the world who have this pressing in this condition and with stampers this low! Good luck!

GRADING

SLEEVE: VG+

Very nice cover, front looks very clean with minimal creasing, corners have some edge wear and signs of yellowing/staining on the back.

LABELS: VG+

Labels are clean overall, some slight signs of spindle use.

RECORD: EX (+ Amazingly LOW stampers!)

Record is excellent! Looks very clean with minimal marks. Both sides have one non-feelable faint hairline across the grooves, no real affect to the playback still plays great throughout. EX+ audio! Not to mention that this has some of the earliest stampers that I've ever personally seen on a Hazel Yarwood Rubber Soul! 1O / 1M ! Meaning that this copy is one of the very first that were ever pressed for this pressing! And you can definitely hear it! This is by far the definitive and best pressing of Rubber Soul, it sounds INCREDIBLE! YOU'VE NEVER HEARD RUBBER SOUL LIKE THIS IN YOUR LIFE!

Original Inner: Included

Cleaning: All vinyl sold by me is carefully cared for and cleaned with one of the most effective processes in the field. Manually cleaned with a Disco Stat + Loricraft combination with a formulated distilled water and alcohol mixture, and a tergikleen + glycol surfactant. The process is then finished off with an Ultrasonic Degritter cleaning to blast out and rinse any other impurities that may still remain. This is one of the key factors into why the vinyl I sell on sounds so clean and lacks the surface noise you may get from a seller who doesn't go to the same lengths as this vinyl obssessed guy over here :)!

Postage Information

This will be shipped special delivery to make sure it reaches the lucky buyer safe and securely. 

Good luck!
