Rubber Soul LP (vinyl) - best pressing at reasonable price?

Buddy of mine gave me his father in law record collection which includes Rubber Soul mono among other Beatle titles and look to be first press would anyone know what the RS would be worth

 

The Beatles - Rubber Soul

 

I've got a nice Lamay/Jay Purple (I think 78). No distortion on Michelle, nice sounding cut

 

The UK 2 box EMI version is the best bang for the buck IMO.

 

It’s HTM

 

I just bought the 2014 Mono vinyl online from Walmart free store pick up for $17.84. You can use paypal.

 

This prompted me to set up a Walmart account. Able to pick up for $17.63

 

Same price on Amazon US.

Picked one up last week after reading that they are OOP and will probably soon be unavailable. Sounds very good although I do prefer the US tracks and sequencing.

 

There are better sounding pressings, of course, but I'd get the Mono 2014 reissue. It sounds great and it's cheap

 

Besides the mono cd box I have this one. On my equipment it sounds just fine. Could be intersting to know how those swedish ones are regarded?

2 box UK for stereo, 2014 reissue for mono, early 80s rainbow label for the US version (my favorite). Stay away from the 2012 stereo reissue... You don't want the 87 remix...

 

Since Rubber Soul is my favorite Beatles Lp I have many copies. This one and My Yellow and Black are two that I play.

I also like this as well

and this one to

It was made from UK stampers...you have all the matrix information engraved as on an UK pressing, including the HTM.

 

I love the 1981 Odeon pressing - that's the one I have. I compared it with some different UK pressings and still prefer the Odeon...

 

I have the YEX 178 - 6 / YEX 179 - 5 UK pressing from 1980 (I think), and it's absolutely fine. I'd say the 2014 mono is better, but mono wasn't an option.

 

Those two links point to the same 7th pressing however, are these not cut by Harry T. Moss then?

 

I just ordered Revolver mono LP also from Wal-Mart free pick-up. About $24. My Rubber Soul took just about 2 days to get to my store.

 

Thanks! Yes, HTM on side A. On side B only MÅ (or A)? Also on side A. Took a listen to it, to me it seems like that side B sounds thinner - less bottom/more treble. Now I wonder why?
YEX 178 - 5 / YEX 179 - 3

 

Side A was cut much later. Side B was cut in 1965 or so and is a tube cut.

 

A tube cut with less bottom and more treble ? Really ?

 

I would think the opposite.

 

I second that.

Oops...doesn't want mono. I'd go with a '70s or early '80s UK EMI two-box stereo then.

 

Nope. -2 and -3 are tube cuts

 

If you can get a Mono Masters I'd go for it, it sounds sublime.

 

Off thread topic but I picked up a new 2014 copy of the White Album mono for $40.00 was it worth the buy
