FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES PROUDLY OFFERS THIS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING STILL SEALED  AND RARER JACKSONVILLE, INDIANA PRESSING PRESSING WITH THE ULTRA RARE AND ATTRACTIVE 3" X 1½" YELLOW RECTANGULAR HYPE STICKER ADHERED TO THE FRONT COVER SHRINKWRAP. THE STICKER READS "HEAR PAUL SING "MICHELLE" AND "ORIGINAL BEATLES' VERSION" IN BLACK PRINT.

THE ADDED BONUS HERE IS THAT THE STICKER IS APPLIED ONTO THE MONAURAL PRESSING OF THE RARER JACKSONVILLE MANUFACTURED COVER, EVIDENT BY THE FACTORY NUMBER "4" PRINTED IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE BACK COVER. CAPITOL RECORDS BEGAN PRESSING RECORDS AT THIS PLANT IN JULY 1965, AND ONLY 10% OF BEATLES CAPITOL RECORDS WERE PRESSED AT THIS PLANT, MAKING THIS FACTORY SEALED COPY WITH THE "MICHELLE" STICKER ADHERED TO THE FRONT SHRINKWRAP EXTREMELY RARE.

THESE RECTANGULAR SONG STICKERS  FOR THIS LP ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY RARE AND THIS EXAMPLE IS A STUNNING NEAR MINT AND THE BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT FACTORY SEALED EXAMPLE IS VERY CLEAN. THE SEALED SHRINKWRAP DISPLAYS 3 FACTORY  "BREATH HOLES", WITH TWO ON THE FRONT AND ONE ON THE BACK. THE ONLY MINOR FLAWS EVIDENT IS A CLEAN 3" X 1½" MISSING SHRINK TEAR ON THE BACK COVER TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE WITH NO AFFECT AT ALL TO THE COVER, AND A SMALL 1" NATURAL SHRINK SEAM SEPARATION AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE BACK COVER.

THE FRONT COVER IMAGE IS SO VERY GORGEOUS. BOLD, CRISP AND BRIGHT WITH NO RINGWEAR. THE BORDERS REMAIN "SNOW" WHITE AND THE BACK COVER REMAINS CLEAN AND STELLAR WHITE WITH NO RING-WEAR.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE "RUBBER SOUL" ALBUMS WERE ISSUED WITHOUT THE "MICHELLE" STICKERS. FURTHERMORE, MOST PURCHASERS OF STICKERED ALBUMS THREW AWAY THE SHRINKWRAP WITH THE STICKER. OCCASIONALLY, OPENED COPIES OF THE ALBUM DO SURFACE WITH THE STICKER, BUT FINDING ONE THAT IS STILL SEALED WITH THE STICKER AND EMANATING FROM THE JACKSONVILLE PLANT IS A TRUE WINNER INDEED.

THE SEALED ALBUM IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM MOST RESPECTED AND RENOWNED BEATLES RECORDS EXPERT AND DEALER, THE LATE GARY HEIN.
