THE BEATLES
Title : Rubber Soul Label : Parlophone Cat No : PCS 3075
Matrix : YEX 178-2 / 179-2 Mothers Stampers : 1.A / 3.GM Issue : UK Stereo 1st Press
This is the rare UK 1st Press of 'Rubber Soul' by The Beatles. This Stereo 1st press can be identified by the Stereo 2/2 matrix and the large STEREO text on the label. The vinyl has the superb early 1.A/3.GM mothers and stampers and the Parlophone labels have the KT tax code on Side 1. It is complete with the very earliest 'patents pending' Garrod & Lofthouse laminated Stereo flipback sleeve.
The record is in Very Good condition. The vinyl still has the most wonderful gloss, there are just a couple of light marks, a few wispy hairlines and a small mark on Girl on Side 2. On the turntable the record lies completely flat. The sound is rich and warm and the vocals are sharp and extremely clear. There are brief moments of slight noise, and the mark makes a couple of clicks, otherwise the sound is bold and bright.
The yellow and black Parlophone labels are completely clean. The black is solid and the yellow is very bright. The white text is sharp and there is only the slightest spindle wear and a couple of spider marks.
The earliest Stereo Garrod & Lofthouse flipback laminated sleeve is in Excellent condition. The laminate has a wonderful polished mirrorlike shine. The image is entirely unworn, the colours still have their bold original finish and it is completely flat. There is a little wear on the centre of the spine and a few laminate creases, otherwise it is superb. The back is still very bright with sharp text and unworn pictures. The flipbacks are complete, still sealed and very clean. The opening edge has the slightest wear otherwise the edges are incredibly firm and unworn. The whole sleeve is still incredibly solid and the spine has sharp text.
