Notes
This version:
Labels have serif typeface on A-side labels and sans-serif typeface on B-side labels. This release: both sides sans-serif.
'Printed and made by Garrod & Lofhouse Ltd.' in lower right corner of the rear sleeve.
First so-called 'loud cut' version of Rubber Soul: "Shortly into the production run, EMI decided that Moss had cut the album too loud and ceased production. After Moss re-cut mono lacquers on November 19, new metal parts were made, and Hayes resumed pressing the album. The albums pressed with stampers generated from the initial lacquers were not destroyed and can be identified by the "-1" following the XEX 579 (Side 1) and XEX 580 (Side 2) matrix numbers..." [Bruce Spizer, 'Beatles For Sale On Parlophone, p. 204]

Edited 2 years agoJust played the official version on YouTube against a rip of this.
I haven't heard the second [?] mono version but there is enough of a difference.
Especially them annoying Rice Krispies all the way through Michelle.
Some will claim lots to bump up a price.
Still sounds like them hairy Liverpudlians on both.
With non-stop great songs. -
Edited 7 years agoThere's a myth that this so called loudcut play any deeper, richer or whatever compared to the 2nd mono pressing (XEX 579/580 - 5 matrix). I have compared this first pressing with the following UK pressings and they all sound both louder and more in your face. And yes I do have the set up for an A/B comparison. -
I have a san-serif typeface (A-Side) serif typeface (B-Side), could it be a mistake in the notes? or another variant?

I just bought a Capitol rainbow label ST 2442. The cover has the white border and the "New Improved" is brown under the border. From what I can gather, this cover is the first Capitol edition. However, the record label has the group name, which was missing on the first edition. I don't see an entry for the combination I have. Am I missing something? Or could it be that somewhere along the way the record got put in the wrong cover. Could anybody provide any insight? Thanks. -

Just picked up a clean original press mono copy today, but can't find this version anywhere on discogs. It's a T 2442 (cover) obviously, has an 8 under "Freeman" on the back, rainbow around the label, and "T1-2442-P13P" and "T2-2442-P9P" etched in the runoff respectively. Can someone point me in the right direction, or would it be worth it to add this version on the website?
