** THERE ARE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WHAT 'THE LOUD CUT' MEANS. THE MOST AUTHENTIC IS THAT THE BEATLES FOUND THE US IMPORTED RECORDS THEY WERE LISTENING TO, HAD A LOUDER, STANDARD VOLUME LEVEL. THEY ASKED GEORGE MARTIN TO REPLICATE IT, HE ALTERED THE SOUND LEVELS AND A FEW THOUSAND WERE PRESSED WITH A -1/-1 MATRIX. AFTER 2/3 MONTHS THEY REVERTED TO THE NORMAL -4/-4 MATRIX.
