ORIGINAL 1965 UK PRESSING, WITH 1ST LABELS, VARIATION 'B' !!!!

When first released in 1965, the matrix was -1 / -1, which was known as the 'loud cut' version. The album was cut too loud, so was quickly re-cut. There were a few with matrix, -1 / -4, or -4 / -1, followed soon after by, -4 / -4. Later copies had a matrix of, -5 / -5. The earliest 1st labels, variation 'A', had the '*' close up to the song titles on the labels, and the next 1st label variation 'B', had a small gap between the, '*' and song titles. So the one listed below, is an early, 1st label, variation 'B', with a matrix of, -4 / -4 !!!!
