THE BEATLES Rubber Soul 1966 US 1st Mono Press Capitol T-2442 F17 F19

Landmark 1965 release from The Beatles, marking a shift toward more introspective songwriting and refined studio production. Rubber Soul bridges the early pop era into the band’s mid-period artistic expansion.

Includes “Norwegian Wood,” “In My Life,” “Nowhere Man,” “Michelle,” and “Girl.” The U.S. mono mix presents a tighter, more direct presentation compared to later stereo issues and remains historically correct for original-era American copies.

This is a 1966 U.S. original mono pressing on the Capitol rainbow rim label with RIAA seal on the jacket. Deadwax is machine stamped T1-2442-F19 (Side 1) and T2-2442-F17 (Side 2), consistent with early 1966 F-series lacquers. No TX prefix.

Jacket configuration matches early RIAA-era print with no plant number on back. Original period Capitol advertising inner sleeve included.
