Description
Beautiful example of the Beatles Rubber Soul album
Vinyl is clear with almost no background noise and no scratches or clicks
Pressed mid 1973
A side (YEX 178-4) new 1973 solid state cut
B side (YEX 179-3) original 1965 tube -cut master
The Matrix (YEX 178-4): The "-4" lacquer for Side 1 was cut by engineer Harry Moss (often indicated by HTM etched in the dead wax) on March 13, 1973.
The Mix: Unlike the mono version, where -4 was used to fix the "Loud Cut" error, the stereo -4 is a high-quality solid-state master.
The Label Match: Because your label still features "The Gramophone Co Ltd" rim text, this record was likely pressed in the brief window between March 1973 (when the -4 cut was made) and late 1973/early 1974 (when the rim text changed to "EMI Records Ltd").
The Label: Two-Box EMI with the rare "Gramophone Co Ltd" rim text.
The Sleeve: A crisp, fully laminated Garrod & Lofthouse jacket.
The Inner: The correct blue-stamped patent sleeve.
