Notes

This version:

Labels have sans-serif typeface on A-side labels and 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]

Released in a front laminated flipback sleeve.

    The -1/-1 “loud” cut sounds a bit harsh and is not a great sounding pressing. That’s why EMI quickly replaced it. Get the -5/-5 Yarwood recut. -4/-4 is not bad either.

      Some records are listed for sale under this listing with - 4 on matrix, this listing is for the - 1 on both sides so it appears that they are in the wrong press/release location/listing.

        I have one of these available. Does anyone know what it is worth? The condition is VG++ to EX- based on Goldmine's guidelines.
