The following is from a very interesting thread at:

Fellow Canucks should check your CDs!

"The other night I was at a friend's house listening to some CD's. He put Rubber Soul on, but it didn't quite sound "right". Now, this is one of my favorite all time albums, and I know it inside out, but this sounded "different". So I borrowed the CD to do some research.

I compared it to my West German pressing, and sure enough, it WAS different.... I searched the SH forums - nothing. But I did find a link to this very useful site:

http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/beatles/var-1965.html

Based on the above site, I can confirm that my friend's CD contains the original 1965 UK mixes. Every single variation listed is on this pressing.

My first thought was that this must be a bootleg, however, this disc was bought in a legitimate music store (in Vancouver, Canada, in 1992 whilst my friend was on vacation).

Anyway the details are:

Catalog #: C2 46440
Matrix Code: made by / fabrique par DISQUE AMERIC CANADA EA41 <011> C246440"

I have the same CD in mint condition. Bought it used a few years ago for $5.00 Cdn
I knew it sounded very different from my original 65 LP version.

Or Licorice Pizza, as one retail chain was called.

Wow,
Licorice Pizza. I haven't heard that in a long time. I miss that place.
I got my first LP (The Church - The Church) at the one in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, as seen in Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

My daughter, 3 1/2, insists we go to the Galleria every weekend.
