Description
The Beatles – Rubber Soul
Label: Parlophone – PMC 1267 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono, "Loud Cut" Country: UK1965
First “Loud Cut” pressing. December 3, 1965. “Loud Cut” matrices: 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 plates were re-cut. The more common 2nd pressing of “Rubber Soul” has the “normal” cut matrixes: XEX 579-4 / XEX 580-4 or XEX 579-5 / XEX 580-5
