GDM. Very rare for the Stampers to match on both sides even being a Loud Cut Rubber Soul album.

The “Loud Cut” is the very first pressing of the Beatles’ Rubber Soul album, it was quickly discontinued after a short pressing run as EMI decided that the album had been cut too loud resulting in a noticeably different mix, in certain places the vocals, sound raw and agressive, EMI hastily ceased production. Needless to say very few copies ‘escaped’ and a copy is on every serious Beatles collectors want list….
