The Beatles
Rubber Soul
Scarce STEREO release !
1st UK STEREO pressing of this Beatles classic
FINAL UPGRADE!
1965 original release
Yellow/Black Parlophone label format in mega rare stereo ! labels are in NEAR MINT – condition . Hardly played indicator, the heart of the vinyl and what a phenomenal exhibit this is ! Sold in UK text with Gramophone Co. credits on outer rim of label ,confirming the very first UK stereo pressing! Make no mistake, this is a highly sought after release as mono records were quite common in the early sixties but very few stereo albums were released so to locate a Beatles classic in stereo is a monumental find especially in this near mint- condition!
Sleeve
Rare first issue, single, G&L ,Patents Pending album sleeve in stunning condition yet again! The reverse face is normally found soiled with massive ring wear/surface damage! This sleeve is the best ever viewed with a superb stunning ultra clean visibility. Super smooth lamination on outer face with minimal creasing observed. Running a fingertip along the spinal edge has picked up one tiny laminate split and that is all. Title clearly shown and a monster of an exhibit ! Flip backs on rear are virtually perfect and there is minimal feathering to opening edge. Awesome sleeve!
Vinyl
Thick quality pressing . Mirror like surfaces similar to mint vinyl. Virtually UNMARKED! When held against a strong halogen, one or two extremely light surface ONLY, one small scuff ,hardly visible to the naked eye, observed .
Matrices-YEX 179-3 Stampers 2 C? or L?
YEX 178-3 2 G G
Phenomenal discovery to locate any Beatles’ record in this stunning condition but to find a hard to find stereo release HARDLY PLAYED is quite unbelievable !
Audio
Sensational as all frequencies are delivered sharp and ULTRA clear. The stereophonic perspective is magnificent and offers the listener an extensive range of dynamic sound.
Have had to place a reserve on this as this stereo Beatles’ classic is super rare and must be one of the very best example in existence today. True investment quality .
Absolutely Awesome !
