THE BEATLES Rubber Soul 1965 UK 1st LOUD CUT mono vinyl
First “Loud Cut” pressing. December 3, 1965. “Loud Cut” matrces: 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. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K.” text. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve ref: - ...thebeatles-collection.com/wordpress/?s=rubber+soul
Matrices:side one - XEX 579-1 .side two - XEX 580-1
Condition and details below:
The sleeve is really nice! Minimal laminate creases on front, some light yellowing on rear, but clean, clear and no writing. Top edge has some rubbing -
Spine is EXCELLENT, see photos and watch /listen to clip
An original EMITEX inner with poly lining and no rips , a little discolouration and creasing only - greatcondition
Labels and vinyl show some signs of use with light scratches; and a few marks nothing deep though and no skips !
Vinyl has lots of light marks, nothing deep, see photos and clip for an idea - they are causing some crackle, between tracks mostly and not intruding too much on sound quality which is VG+ in the main.
