E & J SLEEVE. ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER.
MATRIXES XEX 579-4, 580-1.
THE 1ST SMALL TEST PRESSING WAS DUBBED THE 'LOUD CUT' AS GEORGE MARTIN ADJUSTED THE SOUND INPUT LEVELS, TO ATTEMPT A LOUDER STANDARD SOUND. THE BEATLES HAD REQUESTED THIS AS THE AMERICAN IMPORT RECORDS THEY WERE LISTENING TO WERE LOUDER THAN THEIR UK COUNTERPARTS. THESE WERE GIVEN THE -1 MATRIX.
HOWEVER IT WAS DECIDED TO ABANDON THIS AND REVERT TO THE NORMAL SOUND PARAMETERS. THIS PRESSING WAS GIVEN THE -4 MATRIX.
THIS DISC HAS THE VERY RARE -1 / -4 MATRICES, AS THE MANUFACTURERS SWITCHED ONE SIDE TO -4 BUT RETAINED THE -1 MATRIX ON THE OTHER SIDE.
