THE BEATLES- RUBBER SOUL

"LOUD CUT"

First so-called 'loud cut' version of Rubber Soul: "Shortly into the production run, it was decided that Moss had cut the album too loud and ceased production. After Moss re-cut mono lacquers on November 19, new metal parts were made, and Hayes resumed pressing the album.

When Rubber Soul was first released back at the end of 1965, George Martin was not happy with the mixing that had been done to the songs because some of the songs distorted on cheaper record players causing a degrade in sound quality.

 After approximately 2 weeks, this record pressing was momentarily paused production-wise while he slightly altered the mixes to remove this problem. When he had finished, the production was restarted as a 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 579-1and XEX 580-1  while the regular copies carry a 4 instead of a 1. ??Visibly same as "Second" pressing , but very first issue had a slightly different studio mix. It can be recognized by the matrix numbers ending with "-1". This is generally referred to as the "Loud" cut.?This was a mix that was discontinued after a very brief pressing run, when it was thought it was tonally unbalanced. It lacks body, has a muddled bass, with vocal stretched thin making it sound aggressive and edgy (hence, "loud"). 

THIS MAKES THIS A MUCH SORT AFTER VINYL FOR ANY BEATLES VINYL COLLECTOR, IN ANY CONDITION, BUT MADE EVEN RARER IN THIS CLEAN EXAMPLE FOR A 53 YEAR OLD MEGA-RARE VINYL.

Notes

This version:

First so-called 'loud cut' version of Rubber Soul: "Shortly into the production run, EMI decided that Moss had cut the album too loud and ceased production. After Moss re-cut mono lacquers on November 19, new metal parts were made, and Hayes resumed pressing the album. The albums pressed with stampers generated from the initial lacquers were not destroyed and can be identified by the "-1" following the XEX 579 (Side 1) and XEX 580 (Side 2) matrix numbers..."
