A copy of the very rare "Loud Cut" UK 1st pressing of The Beatles "Rubber Soul" LP. In the UK, this album was on sale for only a few days with the mistaken "Loud Cut" mastering. Only the mono copies with the matrix number XEX-579-1 on Side One have this "hotter" mastering job. These are highly sought after, and rarely found. This copy has a VG+/VG disc, with some light, silent surface marks, but nothing serious or audible–it plays beautifully (there is a bit of light surface noise on "Michelle" only.) The Garrod & Lofthouse flipback cover is near mint.
