A BRILLIANT COPY AND VERY DESIRABLE IN MANY WAYS, READ ON......!!!!
FIRSTLY IT IS A MONO COPY. NOT JUST ANY OLD COPY WHICH IS FOUND EVERY DAY HERE ON THE BAY, THIS COPY IS THE RARE AND DESIRABLE FIRST PRESS -1, -1 MATRIX WHICH IS THE LEDGENDARY 'LOUD CUT' WHICH WAS QUICKLY REPLACED BECAUSE OF APPARENT FEEDBACK (PARDON THE PUN) THAT THIS PRESSING WAS CAUSING RECORD PLAYERS TO JUMP AND DISTORT!
THIS COPY PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY, NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR REPEATS...NEAR FLAWLESS AUDIO!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS COPY HAS 2 DIFFERENT TYPE FACES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE DISC, NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE...SEE THE PICTURES...
SIDE 1 HAS THE TYPEFACE WHICH IS NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PRESS AND SIDE 2 HAS A LATER TYPEFACE, WHICH IS MORE ASSOCIATED WITH LATER 60'S PRESSINGS.
COUPLED WITH 4 / 4 STAMPERS, THIS IS AN UNUSUAL PRESS / CROSSOVER LABEL WHICH MAY INDICATE THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE VERY, VERY LAST 'LOUD CUT'S OUT OF THE FACTORY..!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE OUTER SLEEVE IS DEFINATELY NEAR MINT / MINT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER RUBBER SOUL SLEEVE ANYWHERE..!!
PERFECT PINCHED SPINE
SPOTLESS AND UNDAMAGED, CLEAN BACK WITH NEAR PERFECT CORNERS (only has a slight corner wear of 0.5 cm or so on the opening edge corner )
FRONT IS GLOSSY, CLEAN, LOVELY AND HAS NO LAMINATE LIFT OR CARD DAMAGE (only has a few very, very slight minute creases, hardly noticeable!!).
LOOK FOR YOURSELF...EASILY THE BEST SLEEVE I HAVE SEEN FOR A RUBBER SOUL MONO EVER..!!!
AUCTION PRICE IS WORTH IT JUST FOR THE SLEEVE....!!!
INNER SLEEVE....NEAR MINT 'EMITEX' POLY - LINED...LOOKS PERFICK..!!!!
OUTER SLEEVE...LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM RECORD SHOP YESTERDAY!!!
LABELS......NEAR MINT
VINYL........EXCELLENT ++
AUDIO......EXCELLENT +++
THIS COPY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, IT HAS THAT LOUD PUNCHY FULL BODIED MONO MIX THAT IS FULL OF CLARITY YET CAN BE SUCH A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO!
EVEN AT THE START OF 'MICHELLE' YOU CAN HEAR A COUGH IN THE STUDIO...ITS THAT CLEAR!!!
THERE IS SOME VERY, VERY SLIGHT BACKGROUND VINYL STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS THAT IS HARDLY NOTICABLE. THERE IS ALSO A SLIGHT FEELABLE RAISED MARK COVERING SECOND HALF OF 'IF I NEEDED SOMEONE' AND THE FIRST MINUTE OR SO OF 'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE'. THIS RESULTS IN A VERY SMALL 'POP' SOUND, WHICH , AGAIN IS HARDLY NOTICABLE BUT I WILL MENTION IT!
OVERALL, ONE OF THE BEST MONO COPIES OF THIS ALBUM THAT YOU ARE LIKELY TO GET, ONE STEP AWAY FROM THAT MINT / UNPLAYED COPY YOU ARE AFTER, THIS IS JUST ONE GRADE BELOW THAT UNPLAYED ONE!!!
ANY BUYER WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL RARE AND MINT - SLEEVED COPY OF AN EXCELLENT +++ VINYL COPY...GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW, AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT...!!!
THIS WILL BE SHIPPED FULLY TRACKED AND INSURED, BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
