ITEM DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:
Rubber Soul
is the sixth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 3 December 1965 in the United Kingdom, on EMI's Parlophone label, accompanied by the non-album double A-side single "Day Tripper" / "We Can Work It Out". The original North American release, issued by Capitol Records, contains ten of the fourteen songs and two tracks withheld from the band's Help! album. Rubber Soul met with a highly favorable critical response and topped sales charts in Britain and the United States for several weeks.
This copy is United States reissue
that I assume, based upon my research, to be a late 70's or early 80's
release.
I will
describe many key components of the item so that you, the buyer,
can determine its age, condition and value for yourself.
The item condition and the identifiable
characteristics are as follows
:

2)
The Album Cover/Jacket itself, has the original shrink wrap primarily intact with a minor split at the upper portion of the cover opening and a small oval-shaped hole in the upper right corner of the front cover.

square.
The front cover colors are clear and vibrant while the rear cover is crisp, clear and only slightly yellowed.

TERMS OF SALE:
SHIPPING & HANDLING:
I only ship to the continental USA, I do
NOT
ship International. By default, I ship all items via United States Postal Service Media Mail within 72 hours of auction end. However, since USPS Media Mail is consistently taking longer than estimated and is subject to inspection which can further delay delivery I now offer expedited shipping via USPS Priority Mail. Your shipping cost is calculated based on the item(s) weight (including package and any packing materials used) and your proximity to my location. I add .50 to shipping charges as a handling fee to cover the cost of a brand new and previously unused LP mailer and corrugated filler pads. Combined shipping may be available but, only if pre-approved by seller prior to auction end.
PACKAGING:
1) Opened record albums; The vinyl record disc itself is removed from the album cover/jacket to prevent damaging the cover during shipment. If the item includes a specialized or custom inner sleeve, the vinyl record disc is removed from the original inner sleeve and placed in a generic inner sleeve. The album cover, the vinyl record disc and any/all inserts will be placed in a top-load style plastic sleeve which is placed in a pre-formed corrugated mailer along with any necessary packing material for shipment.
2) Unopened (still sealed) record albums; Sealed items will remain unopened and are placed in a top-load style plastic sleeve which is placed in a pre-formed corrugated mailer along with any necessary packing material for shipment.
