The Beatles
Rubber Soul
The Beatles - Rubber Soul - 1966 - VG - Ultrasonic Clean - Ouch. Really, it's marginally nicer than VG, but it has some hairlines and grading low, also has BLATT written on the B side on the rainbow. Super nice cover - it looks like everything was inner-sleeve-inflicted.

The Beatles
Originating from Liverpool, England, in 1960, the Beatles emerged as a groundbreaking British band that transformed from rock and pop roots into influential pioneers of musical innovation. The group established its definitive lineup in 1962, comprising John Lennon (vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica, keyboards, percussion), Paul McCartney (vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals, keyboards), and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals, percussion) after securing a recording contract with EMI. This followed a short-lived period that included Stuart Sutcliffe (bass, 1960-61) and Pete Best (drums, 1960-62).
Initially celebrated for their Merseybeat sound, the Beatles quickly began to explore new musical dimensions, delving into psychedelia and introducing inventive production techniques that utilized tape loops and various effects. Throughout their career, they left an enduring legacy with 12 studio albums.
The band's significant influence on rock and roll was formally recognized in 1988 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a group. By 2015, each member had also earned individual accolades for their achievements as solo artists within the Hall of Fame.

Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips.
Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.
