THE BEATLES
Title : Rubber Soul Label : Parlophone Cat No : PMC 1267
Matrix : YEX 579-1 / 580-1 Mothers Stampers : 3.PP / 1.LH
Issue : UK Mono 1st Loud Cut Press
This is the rare UK 1st Press of 'Rubber Soul' by The Beatles. This sensational Mono 1st press Loud Cut mix can be identified by the Mono 1/1 matrix and it features a far bolder sound and deeper grooves than the standard later press. The vinyl has a deep glossy finish, the Parlophone labels are yellow and black with a KT tax code on Side 2 and it is complete with the original Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback sleeve.
The record is in Very Good condition. When examined under a strong light the vinyl on each side has the most wonderful high gloss, there is no whitening of the grooves at all. There are just a few light marks and hairlines and one light needle mark on Side 2. On the turntable the record lies completely flat. The sound is exceptionally rich, the vocals are sharp and the backing is extremely clear. There are brief moments of light noise and brief noise on the mark, but these moments are largely insignificant, as it still sounds superb.
The yellow and black Parlophone labels are completely clean. The black is exceptionally bold, and the yellow is very bright. The white text is sharp and there is only light spindle wear and a couple of spider marks.
The Garrod & Lofthouse flipback laminated sleeve is in Very Good condition. The laminate has a bright shine. The image is sharp and the colours still have their bold original finish. There is a little corner wear, a few light laminate creases, a little discolouration on the back opening edge and a small date. Otherwise the back is still very bright with sharp text and unworn pictures. The flipbacks are complete, still sealed and clean. The opening edge has the slightest wear otherwise the edges are firm and unworn. The whole sleeve is still solid.
