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.

Released in a front laminated flipback sleeve.
