Beatles Rubber Soul Original Mono 1965 Vinyl EX+ PLAYS GREAT!!! Vinyl plays fairly "NEW" except for small surface noise between tracks. Once the song starts you are in HEAVEN! :) This is an excellent example of a record that plays so much better than the limited, small, insignificant surface, paper scuffs (seen in bright light). There is a small smudge on track one that is in NO WAY feelable and does not affect play. THIS IS JUST A GREAT ALBUM TO PLAY AND ENJOY! Sleeve EX C...ondition only because blotches on back cover and the front cover is excellent and all seams are excellent with a clean picture except for a small corner tear and small blotch.. Album cover comes with resealable plastic sleeve for album cover, vinyl is in white plastic lined sleeve in a resealable plastic sleeve and comes with original CAPITOL sleeve, and all items are placed in a 4mil thick plastic sleeve. I have bought on EBAY for years as a buyer and received GREAT feedback so I know how it is to be a buyer! I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BUY AND BE DISAPPOINTED! I have great merchandise to sell so let me know what you are looking for: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, etc.
