Description
Rubber Soul, Parlophone, PMC 1267.
First "LOUD CUT" pressing, mono, release December 3, 1965. “Loud Cut” matrix: XEX 579-1 / XEX 580-1. 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 platess were re-cut. Original Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. front laminated flipback sleeve. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold In U.K…” text. Times New Roman print. KT tax code on the label.
