Audio review to Follow.

I think that there have been three audio versions up until 2009.

V1- 2002
V2-2006
V3-2007

I have assumed that as the audio upgrade of this title was not until 2006 that there will not be a version with no image behind the rear cover artwork.

DESS fan site has a cdr variation with no '2' on cover rear but on tray is this 2007 version?

The East Coast sometimes referred to as the "Dexterized" version can be identified by listening to the disc, the reverb is subtle but it it there. Concerning the artwork there is only one difference pre 2006 update the placement of NEW IMPROVED FULL DIMENSIONAL STEREO , It has been lifted to the white border on the East Coast version.


Release Notes :

 

"The so-called "Dexterized" version of the US stereo Rubber Soul LP (ST 2442).
For those not familiar with it, it is also known by some as the "East Coast" version. It is identical the "regular" US stereo version of the Rubber Soul LP in every way except that it has a layer of reverb across the entire album. That's right. . . .Capitol reverb across the whole LP! It is not dramatic, but it is very noticeable on specific songs where the vocals are completely or partially isolated. Songs like "Girl" and "Wait" are particularly noticeable. . It can be heard clearly on a song like "Think For Yourself," which normally ends cold and dry. On the "Dexterized" version, there is a very definite echoey decay on that last note. . . In terms of the Doctor Ebbetts catalogue, the "Dexterized" version of the LP can be distinguished from the "regular" dry issue by the front artwork. The Capitol stereo banner will be above the front picture in the white border area on the "Dexterized" version. On the "regular" version, the stereo banner will be as it is now, as part of the picture. In the 1960s, Capitol issued the stereo version of Rubber Soul both ways, citing the inability to read the stereo banner clearly against the green background of the picture as the reason for placing it *above* the picture in the white border wrap-around area. . . That's how I will differentiate the two in the Dr. E series. . ."

Pre 2006 artwork is fairly confusing with sites and disc art discs containing collections of the best of artwork rather than accurate pairings.The Doc's rolling updates also cause some confusion as one disc may have had a few artwork updates. If you have any originals disc direct from the good Doctor please drop me a PM and I'll update. TIA
