After or about 1966(?), there was an alternate (Capitol) Rubber Soul stereo master tape edit which was residing in New York and wound-up being sent to the Scranton, PA factory for repressings/reissues of the album to serve the Northeast market. However, THIS version had been given Dave Dexter's REVERB treatment(!) Not to the extreme, of course, like "Second Album" or "Beatles '65"...but with a noticeably compressed 'mush' layered on it; distinct from 99+% of the commonly heard one from the West Coast source. An external indicator of when you *might* have come across a copy is, if: the "New Dimensional Stereo" banner is in a separate, white border across the cover and not as-part of the photo proper. Other identifiers may include: a particular symbol/numeric code for the Scranton factory as well as, on the record itself, a specific matrix number (which I don't know the exact details of because I'm not a record collector and could care less about the format). From a taped copy I uploaded, the one track you can tell the difference by right away (even having used a Y-patch cable into a rather cheap smartphone's input for the upload):

Sounds mono to me. And "mushy", yes.
