Description
The Beatles - Rubber Soul, Parlophone, PMC 1267, Mono. First “Loud Cut” pressing. December 3, 1965.
Description:
When “Rubber Soul” was initially mixed it was slightly different to how we hear it today. These early mixes only ever appeared in mono and are distinguished by the matrix numbers XEX 579-1 / XEX 580-1 in the deadwax. It’s argued that these early presses were unbalanced with a muddy bass and with an edgy, aggressive vocal sound. Since these copies seemed to lack body the decision was made to halt production whilst the mother plates were re-cut.
Key Features:
- 1st Matrix: Matrix numbers: XEX 579-1 & XEX 580-1
- 1st Labels: Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K.” text. With or without KT tax code on the label.
- Sleeve: Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. or Ernest J.Day & Co. front laminated flipback cover.
- Stampers: 1 AA / 3 RP

- Inner: Original tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve.
