A little history on the Loud Cut:

“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…” [ Bruce Spizer, ‘Beatles For Sale On Parlophone, p. 204 ]
