Essential: a masterpiece of Rock music
I think the Rubber Soul US release is interesting because differs in some songs from its UK pair.
What I celebrate about the US mix is that this is where “I’m Looking Through You” song appears for the first time with the famous false start (And that I personally value it very much).
Vinyl pedigree: A Capitol reissue (Purple label of 1978) and mastered by John Lemay. Silent pressing of the Winchester plant.
Dr. Ebbetts specializes in releasing digital remasterings from long-deleted and hard-to-obtain vinyl records, particularly issues from the audiophile Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (MFSL) label. Although the Ebbetts catalogue has many artists, it is most known for Beatles CDs transferred from the best quality MFSL releases, US releases and mono vinyl sources. While lables like Millenium, BEAT, Mirror Spock and Fabulous Sound Labs (FSL) also issue 'needle drops' of Beatles vinyl, Dr. Ebbetts is regarded by many audiophiles as being the highest quality. For those interested in the technical, one source close to the Dr says that Ebbetts says that he uses no noise reduction and that there's no magic formula…just a good ear and patience.
