Notes
Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album by The Beatles, released in Great Britain on December 3, 1965. A modified version of the album was released in the US on December 6, 1965. In Germany, the album was released on December 7, 1965. Including compilation albums, it was The Beatles' tenth album in Germany. The British version of Rubber Soul was released on CD in the US on July 21, 1987.
The 1987 CD release featured a new stereo mix by original producer George Martin, most prominently distinguished by increased reverb and adjusted panning. This mix has subsequently become standard for reissues, notable exceptions being the initial Canadian CD release, and the 2009 box set The Beatles In Mono, both of which feature the original 1965 stereo mix.

- Just picked up an unplayed Factory Sample copy of this pressing (A-5/B-3) and whilst if you know lots of different pressings, I imagine you could hear nuances between them, if this is the only copy you are ever going to own of this album I don't think you would be sitting there thinking "this sounds bad, I wish it sounded better..." Recommended for the price!
- Sounds pretty solid for what it is. The original stereo mix is utter rubbish though. The '87 "remix" gives the hard-panned vocals some much needed dimension. They sound claustrophobic here. Mono's the way to go overall. As for the mastering, it's nice.

Pretty goof pressing, I've noticed with pressings from digital masters that they sound a bit tinny (like with the 1995 repress of rubber soul) but the 2009 remaster deals with it very well- This is probably the best mono pressing I have. Just really beautiful full sound, big bass. It’s cut pretty hot. Vinyl is dead quiet.
- By all standards, this is a great and flawless pressing, so nothing to worry about there...
But this is made from a digital master and sounds flat and lifeless, compared to any analog stereo pressings from the 60's and 70's. Of course this album always sounded better in mono, so my best advice is getting the -5/-5 mono pressing. - Edited 29 days ago

Received this pressing as part of an old collection I acquired. The original owner kept it in pristine condition.
I have a decent rig and a lot of good sounding albums. When i put this on it jumps out as being a level above most of my records. Its as good as I’ve heard them sound. Disclaimer: I dont have a lot of first pressings to compare it to. - I’m dusting off my old tapes and added my nice Yamaha tape deck to my stack with my Audio Control Ten EQ and I had to listen to this old gem.
I’m sorry, I’m blown away. The sound is really great, even after 35 years. I’m way happy. If you have this in a closet, dust it off and give it a listen. It’s a treat.
