My copy has
Matrix / Runout (Runout stamp side A): XEX 579-4
Matrix / Runout (Runout stamp side B): XEX 580-4
Not -1/-1 matrices so not loud cut. However, it's a Garrod and Lofthouse print which fits with first pressing. Any ideas?? -
I have a US copy of this with Apple vinyl and Capitol sleeve in amazing condition that's not in the database. I checked all the runout groove data 3x... Side A of mine says ST2442-18-H and side B runout is etched ST2442-23-H... What should I do about this? I'm asking because initially I wanted to categorize it to sell... Now I'm wondering if it's rare and whether I SHOULD sell it! ANY HELP? thanks... -
Just wondering...if the answer is obvious please excuse.
My Mono PMC1267 copy has stamped XEX - 579-4 (Side 1) and XEX-580-4 (Side 2) near the label can anyone tell if this was a first pressing?
Thanks in advance. -

My version is Ernest J. Day with matrixes: A: XEX 579-4 GTM 3, serif typeface; B: XEX 580-4 GOM 6, sans-serif typeface. Can anybody help me with this? -
Give me some slack.. I love the "The Beatles". This album changed me. I give you so much info. into what I have. Give Us "The Beatles".

j ai un single des Beatles avec Rubber soul, Michelle, run for your life, drive my car. Odeon, Pathé Marconi, Paris. ça vaut combien?

'there are also copies with a mix of the -1 and -4 matrices which were intermediate and quite uncommon'
Yep, I've got one of those, 'variation 2B' apparently, first pressing variation from 'loud cut' to second pressing. kind of a bridge between the two.
It sounds great to my ears, I haven't seen many of them about either so they must be quite rare. -
I just purchased the EMI Parlaphone 180g remaster of RS, and my advice to you is to RUN and BUY this remaster NOW ! It plays as crisp and detailed as any mfsl album that I own. The remaster retains all the charm of its early sterophonic channel separation and seems to bring the vocals a bit more forward, along with lead guitar (sitar, etc) riffs. The album is as dead quiet as it gets, owing in part to a very heavyweight pressing that borders closer to 200g than 180g. I also love the fact that this album is the UK mix of Rubber Soul.
