	£		22
	$		29

ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 SOUTH AFRICAN 1ST MONO EDITION OF THE BAND'S ESSENTIAL ALBUM:"RUBBER SOUL". 

THERE ARE SOME INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCES TO UK ISSUES TO INTEREST MANY SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS. PLEASE READ ON!

1:PMCJ PREFIX  ON THE BACK OF THE COVER AND LABEL. BRITISH ONES DID NOT HAVE THESE AT THE FRONT. THE J IS EXTRA AND ALSO HAS THE "AVAILABLE IN STEREO NO. PCSJ 3075"PRINTED AT THE BACK.

2:TIMINGS FOR EACH TRACK PRINTED UNDER THE PARLOPHONE LOGOS.

3:DIFFERENT PARLOPHONE LOGO ON THE COVER AND LABELS.

4:SOUTH AFRICAN PHONOGRAPHIC INDUSTRY ON THE BACK OF THE COVER.

5:DIFFERENT LABEL PRINTING AND LAYOUT.

6:PRESSED FOR OR BY A REGISTERED USER RIM CREDITS.

7: THE MONO COVER CREDIT AT THE BACK IS DIFFERENT FONT AND SIZE TO UK ONES.

8:AN ADDITIONAL ARTONE LOGO AT THE BACK.

THIS COPY HAS HAD A LOT OF USE WITH SOME MOSTLY LIGHT SURFACE HAIRLINE MARKS AND A COUPLE OF NASTY DEEP LOOKING ONES ACROSS A COUPLE OF TRACKS WHICH AMAZINGLY DON'T SOUND APART FROM AT THE VERY END OF THE FADE OUT OF THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 1,THE ODD ISOLATED"POP"WHERE THESE MARKS ARE. THERE ARE SOME SHORT LIVED CLICKS ON OTHER TTRACKS BUT THESE ONLY LAST A FEW SECONDS AND NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE. THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH SURFACE NOISE! NO STICKS OR JUMPS! THERE IS A MOST ODD "WOBBLY" SOUND ON SOME OF THE TRACKS-AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY TURNTABLE PLAYING UP BUT HAVING TRIED IT ON TWO DECKS-IT IS OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF FAULT IN THE TRANSFER. SO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL I HAVE STATED,THIS MUST BE CONSIDERED AS AN UNUSUAL ADDITIONAL COPY RATHER THAN YOUR "ONLY COPY" BUT IT STILL PLAYS THROUGH FINE.THERE IS SOME SPINDLE WEAR. STRICTLY GRADED AS  GOOD+++ CONDITION BUT GENERALLY THE SOUND IS NEARER TO VG ON MOST TRACKS. THICK VINYL WHICH WAS VERY HARDY AT THIS TIME RATHER THAN THE LATER WAFER THIN REPRESSES OFTEN CUT AT A LOWER VOLUME. PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS SO PLEASE BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS SOME EDGE TEARS,A SPLIT AT THE SPINE MEASURING 6CM,SOME STAINING AT THE BACK,SOME CREASES AND RING WEAR BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS.  

MOST IN SOUTH AFRICA WOULD BE DAMAGED BY HEAT!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!

 THIS IS A VERY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE MONO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND MOST BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF MONO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS ONE NOT UP TO MY USUAL HIGH STANDARD BUT STILL PLAYS VERY WELL!

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS INTERESTING VARIATION OF A CLASSIC ALBUM FOR ANY BEATLES COLLECTION!

 The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
