The Beatles Rubber Soul - 1st - Transitional - G UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
The labels on this classic album are matt black with Parlophone in bright yellow lettering and all other text in silver print and show moderate spindle wear.
The perimeter text states "The Gramophone Co Ltd" with "Sold In The UK Subject To Resale" etc across the centre of the labels.
The matrix numbers have been machine stamped into the run-out grooves:
XEX579-1 Side One
XEX580-4 Side Two
Making this one of the rare transitional copies as all 1965 pressings before this date had -1 matrices & after this date had -4 matrices on both sides.
The sleeve shows just a little ring wear ageing with discoloured panels & round edged flipbacks with minimal scuffing. The back panel's text is clearly legible including along the spine, with no writing. A great example of this first issue cover & very iconic.
Complete with the 'Emitex' inner, the vinyl grades Good - with scuffing covering most of both sides & the odd hairline and deeper markalthough playtesting revels a wonderful clear sound with no skips or jumps, sounding more like a VG copy.
The price reflects this Good condition copy, as mint copies tend to sell for alot more than this. This is a great opportunity to get a highly respectable G copy of this rare pressing variant without breaking the bank!

History
The 'Loud Cut' issue (Matrices ending -1) had a slightly different studio mix to the more familiar version. This was withdrawn after a very brief pressing run & the mix was corrected & the stampers re-pressed & changed to have a matrix ending in -4.
It's not really 'louder' but thewith the 'loud cut' -1 matrix on side one & the re-mixed -4 matrix on side two. Also copies exist with 'normal' side one & 'loud cut' side two.
This copy is one of the very first pressed with the -1 matrices on both sides. By the end of 1965, all of the presses had mix itself has the tonal qualities of louder music with some bass enhancement & a slightly thinner, edgier vocal balance as a consequence of having a little too much compression applied at the mastering stage.
This, given the pressure on the factories at the time, was not a smooth transition & copies do exist the -4 matrices.
