Description
THE BEATLES
Rubber Soul
Rarer TRANSITIONAL Press
VG+
LOUD CUT
This Lp was released on the 3rd of December 1965 and stayed at the number 1 position for a total of 9 weeks from Christmas that year....What a pressie to unwrap!
This is the rarer recording as these records were pulled from the shelf almost immediately after being dispatched...they were then taken and destroyed, replacing them with the 2nd pressing.
Catalogue number: PMC 1267
Matrix Numbers Side 1: XEX 579-4
Matrix Numbers Side 2: XEX 580-1
1ST PRESS deleted TRANSITIONAL pressing 'LOUD CUT'
Mothers/Stampers Side 1: GOD @ 3 O'clock 7 @ 9 O'clock
Mothers/Stampers Side 2: LR @ 3 O'clock G36(? )@ 9 O'clock
VERY FEW OF THESE TRANSITIONAL PRESSES EXIST, AND MOST NOT IN AS GOOD CONDITION AS THE ONE HERE!
Vinyl: VG+. Lovely shine and weight. There are just light marks. I have just played the Lp through and the LOUD CUT affect is clearly auidible and sounds really RAW.. There is background crackle audible in the quieter sections-due to the record needng a professional clean, of which I am sure will be reduced following this.
NO SKIPS
Flat as the day she was born.
Shiny as the day she was born too.
Quality heavy-weight best of British vinyl!
Labels: VG+. There aren't many spindle marks, even when angled to the light, just light wear to the central hole.
Each label does have small spots of blooming to them.
Raised "KT" tax code to side 1.
No writing anywhere.
"The Gramophone Co..." rim text as well as "Sold In U.K." text.
Please see the detailed images.
Cover: VG+.
PATENTS PENDING Garrod & Lofthouse
No splits or writing anywhere! A few half crescent spidering areas to the gloriously glossy cover as well as a few 'fingers' from the edges.
Excellent, uncrushed spine.
Light rubbing to the corners.
The back is GORGEOUS, just ever so lightly discoloured.
Very strong Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
(again, please see the images)
Inner: EX. ORIGINAL 'Use Emitex' inner.
Just one tiny split of 3cm to the bottom.
Only light creasing and ever so slight discoulouration due to age
All in all THIS IS A COLLECTORS PIECE. Grab it with both hands.
YES, you can find the Loud Cut -1/-1 pressings for around £100, but not very many of these transitional pressings with 1 side being the Loud Cut and the other being the re-mixed side!
And the sound reproduction is really lovely.
MAGICAL!
A note on grading:
'Mint' means I have just stepped out of the record shop in the 60's, never opened nor played the record and kept it in fantasticaly dry and warm condtitons...unlikely isn't it!!
