"LOUD CUT" MATRIX VERSION - first UK pressing featuring "loud cut" mix as denoted by -1/-1 matrices
When Rubber Soul was first released back at the end of 1965, George Martin was not happy with the mixing that had been applied to the songs, as some became distorted on cheaper record players, causing a degrade in sound quality. After approximately 2 weeks, the record was momentarily paused production-wise, while he slightly altered the mixes to rectify this problem. When finished, the production was restarted as the 2nd pressing. The only way you can tell whether your copy is a "loud cut" pressing or not is to look at the matrix number. "Loud-cut" pressings carry the matrix numbers XEX 579-1 (side A) and XEX 580-1 (side B), whilst the regular copies carry a 4 instead of a 1. Visibly the same as a 2nd pressing, however, the 1st issue had a slightly different studio mix. It can be recognised by the matrix numbers ending with "-1". This is generally referred to as the "loud" cut. This mix was discontinued after a very brief pressing run, when it was thought to be tonally unbalanced. It lacks body, has a muddled bass, with vocals stretched thin making it sound aggressive and edgy (hence, "loud").
THESE DETAILS MAKE THIS A LIMITED EDITION SOUGHT AFTER VINYL FOR ANY BEATLES VINYL COLLECTOR. THIS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR A 53 YEAR OLD VINYL ALBUM. THIS HAS BEEN WELL PRESERVED, AND INCLUDES ORIGINAL INNER & OUTER SLEEVES.
