The East Coast Mix

Most copies of Rubber Soul were pressed in Los Angeles, but a small number were pressed in New York and were mastered differently. These versions featured "Dexterization" of the masters, named for Capitol executive Dave Dexter, Jr., who modified many early Beatles records by compressing the sound and adding reverb. This version of Rubber Soul is commonly referred to as the "East Coast Mix" (even though the mix is not actually different) and only applies to stereo masters.
Further clarification is provided by Doctor Ebbetts: "From 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."
The best way to tell if a pressing features the East Coast Mix is to check the record matrices: affected copies feature the letter W or X in the matrix number (i.e. ST1-2442-W4P), signifying the New York plant. It may be possible to differentiate by checking the cover: the "New Improved Full Dimensional Stereo" logo at the top of the cover appears in black text against a white background in the East Coast Mix, above the photo which is therefore shortened, as opposed to appearing in brown/orange text against the dark brown background of the cover photo.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE BEATLES - POD



If the first two episodes are anything to go by, this will be one worth downloading on a regular basis. The two bring unique and well-informed eyes to a topic they both clearly love. American Rodriquez (Solo in SeventiesRevolver: How The Beatles Reimagined Rock ‘N’ Roll; Fab Four FAQ and Fab Four FAQ 2.0), and Britain’s Buskin (The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Beatles; Days in the Life: The Lost Beatles Archives; John Lennon: His Life and Legend amongst many others) complement each other with different experiences of growing up fascinated by the Beatles. They are both knowledgable of course, but also have a lot of fun with their topic too. There are no sacred cows here.
The homepage for the podcast features cool original artwork by Executive Producer Rick Wey:

RINGO STARR - PEACE AND LOVE TRIBUTE


On December 4, the show will be commemorated under the title Ringo Starr: The Lifetime of Peace & Love Tribute Concert. The album brings together several of the show’s high-profile performances, which included the following musicians:
  • Ben Folds
  • Ben Harper
  • The Head and the Heart
  • Joe Walsh
  • Ark Life

and Starr himself.
and the track listing for the album:

Paul McCartney had this great idea for an album.
He just needed the world-renowned guitarist John Pizzarelli to make it.

To say the Pizzarelli was tickled is putting it mildly.
