Notes

Orange Capitol label with large ring press (see photos).
Mastered at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles signified by "✲" in the run-outs, but was pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. Co..

There "W" etched in the runouts is above a "T" which means the "T" was added by mistake and corrected with a "W". The "W" is a much lighter etching than the "T".

    Really nice press. Agree with the previous entry in that it is warm, crisp, and clear. That's honestly the best way I can describe it. I noticed Paul's bass nice and big without playing over any other parts. It's a good mix.

      Found a NM copy of this revered Monarch pressing, and upon my third listen, this is my favorite way to enjoy Rubber Soul. The music plays particularly clear and crisp, yet feels warm. I recommend buying this Monarch pressing if you come across it at a reasonable price.
