The Beatles

Rubber Soul

Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by the English rock group The Beatles, released in December 1965. Produced by George Martin, Rubber Soul was recorded in just over four weeks to make the Christmas market. Unlike the five albums that preceded it, Rubber Soul was recorded during a specific period, the sessions not dashed off in between either tour dates or during filming projects. After this, every Beatles album would be made without the need to pay attention to other commitments, except for the production of short promotional films or principal photography and editing to Magical Mystery Tour. The album was described as a major artistic achievement, attaining widespread critical and commercial success, with reviewers taking note of The Beatles' developing musical vision. Rubber Soul was successful commercially and critically, and is often cited as one of the greatest albums in music history. In 2012, Rubber Soul was voted 5th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Record is Out of Print - 47 Years Old.

Very Good ++ (VG++) = Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Album Cover = Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

Very Good Plus (VG+) = Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. Album Cover = clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

Very Good (VG) = Vinyl surface will show wear, including surface scuffs and scratches. Surface noise is noticeable, and there may be a few clicks or pops during soft passages. On loud rock albums surface noise is mostly apparent between tracks. However, the record is still very listenable. The cover may have creases, have record store cut corners or a punched hole and may have noticeable ring wear and spine wear, but it will still have most of its original gloss. Cover may have minor writing, stains, or age related yellowing, and white covers especially begin to show more scuffing and yellowing with age than darker covers in this grade.  There will be no seam splits longer than 1”.

Good (G) = Vinyl surface has general scuffing and scratching all over.  Surface noise is very apparent between tracks. There will be repetitive clicks or pops. There may be backward & forward skips. The album will still be listenable and enjoyable in a party setting, but not when listening critically in a quiet room. Records with many quiet music passages will not be enjoyable in these grades. Covers will vary in quality and may have prominent seam splits (that are taped over or not), scuffing, and ring wear, with only some of the original gloss left.  There may be staining, water damage, tearing and writing on the cover.

LP will be sent in a Sturdy Container with FRAGILE & DO NOT BEND stamped in Red on box.
