The Beatles Rubber Soul Vinyl *Loud Cut* First Pressing
VG+
As you can see the cover is in pretty good nick, some slight creases round the edges but nothing massive. Pictured on the back at the top theres a pen marking reading 'Jane Wilson' and along to the right next to the PMC a pencil marking 'B'. Also don't have the original 'Use Emitex' sleeve. Other than that everything else is good, theres a few surface marks on the record but nothing of significance as the record plays perfectly with no jumps and hardly any real noise or crackle (The track 'Michelle' is slightly distorted but I've read this is the case on every mono 'loud cut' copy).
Signed for delivery. Returns accepted if your not happy ! Will provide plastic sleeve for protection.
Any more questions feel free to drop me a message !

1.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. subject…”text. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. With or without KT tax code on the label. “Loud Cut” copies can be found with both Times New Roman and Sans-seriflabel types, although Sans-serif is the more common and is likely to have continued production along with the Times New Roman issues.
Variation A. These are the early Sans-serif labels that tended to adorn the earlier “Loud Cut” copies of the album. Their distinguishing feature is that the * credit indicator on these labels are spaced away from the song title.
