Tracklisting & More Information

The labels on this classic album are matt black with Parlophone in bright yellow lettering and all other text in silver print. They are bright and clean with minimal spindle wear.
The perimeter text states "The Gramophone Co Ltd" with "Sold In The UK Subject To Resale" etc across the centre of the labels.

The matrix numbers have been machine stamped into the run-out grooves:
XEX579-1 Side One
XEX580-4 Side Two

Making this one of the rare transitional copies as all 1965 pressings before this date had -1 matrices & after this date had -4 matrices on both sides.

The vinyl, while not mint, is still in excellent shape with only a few light scuffs visible; it retains a nice deep shine and would be strictly graded EX/EX+.

The front laminated flipback picture sleeve shows just a little light laminate creasing in places & benefits from rich colours, clean laminate, secure round ended flipbacks with 'Patents Pending' text on the lower flip. The spine print is clear & easily readable.
There are a few small areas of discolouration on the unlaminated back & a little scuffing to the raised areas of the flipback, but far less than is normally seen & nothing that affects the period 'feel'. The sleeve would be graded EX-/VG+.

The price reflects this excellent condition copy, as mint copies tend to sell for more than double this. This is a great opportunity to get a highly respectable EX copy of this rare pressing variant without breaking the bank!

History

The 'Loud Cut' issue (Matrices ending -1) had a slightly different studio mix to the more familiar version. This was withdrawn after a very brief pressing run & the mix was corrected & the stampers re-pressed & changed to have a matrix ending in -4.
It's not really 'louder' but the mix itself has the tonal qualities of louder music with some bass enhancement & a slightly thinner, edgier vocal balance as a consequence of having a little too much compression applied at the mastering stage.
This, given the pressure on the factories at the time, was not a smooth transition & copies do exist with the 'loud cut' -1 matrix on side one & the re-mixed -4 matrix on side two. Also copies exist with 'normal' side one & 'loud cut' side two.
This copy is one of the very first pressed with the -1 matrices on both sides. By the end of 1965, all of the presses had the -4 matrices.
