Here is a youtube link regarding the American release of 'Rubber Soul' (Dexterized Mix) for those who have never heard it before.

Each song has added reverb and is mixed a little different. This album was also referred to as the 'East Coast Version'

According to this page, "the only hope you have of finding one without playing it first is to check the "New Improved Full Dimensional Stereo" logo at the top of the cover. On the Dexterized version, those words appear against a white background, as opposed to appearing against the dark brown background of the cover photo. This change was made to the cover at approximately the same time that the Dexterized version of the album was issued."
Apparently Dr Ebbetts did a needledrop of it, but he's retired his archive since the 2009 remasters were released. You ...

Supposedly, you need to look at the matrix numbers to know if you have an East Coast version. There are two copies, both are East Coast pressings with New York lacquers and are on the rainbow subsidiary label. Both play with reverb:

Record 1

Side 1 - W8 #1

Side 2 - W14 #2

Record 2

Side 1 W6 #3

Side 2 W14 #2

It's not on CD. Try a used record shop, there should be one where you live

I am trying to get all the different mixes that were available. I believe the UK and American mixes are the only ones that are different. Canada used the American mixes but all other countries used the UK versions.

Some of the mixes are interesting to hear all though they will never compare with the remastered versions from the UK. Those are awesome.

Also, the Capitol Albums Vol. 2 Rubber Soul used the Los Angeles plant version without the reverb added and not the East Coast version for the release of the box set so this version of the album will be ...

Wow, I didn't know that "Dexterization" was still being done as late as Rubber Soul! Obviously I've never heard it - and based on the Duophonic Beatles albums that I have heard, I certainly don't want to hear it - well, maybe out of curiostiy, but never enjoyment.

Maybe the Capitol Albums box has that version?

When Rubber Soul was released in December 1965 the album was pressed by Capitol Records in Los Angeles. There was a short run of this album on vinyl pressed in the New York plant with Dave Dexter Jr. adding his famous reverb to all the stereo songs on the album. This became to be know as the East Coast Mix or 'Dexterized' version of the American release. The mono mixes are the same as the standard Capitol release with no changes.

Does anyone have a copy of this version. I know it was released on vinyl but is there a CD copy of this that I can purchase or download?
