Beatles US albums

I would love to have all the Spizer books. However, they are OOP and ridiculously expensive on eBay. I have been considering the Vee Jay book, which is available as a $50 digital download. Still seems expensive. Is the fold down question addressed? (I don't think it is)

 

Sorry, I didn't know that they were OOP.

And yes, he definitely addresses the fold down question...
"Meet The Beatles! (Mono T 2047) - I Want To Hold Your Hand and This Boy are the mono mixes from October 21, 1963. All other songs on the album are Capitol-created mono Type B mix-downs of the British stereo mixes." Pg. 247 of "The Beatles' Story On Capitol Records Part Two: The Albums." He has a similar write up for each album.

 

Thanks. But I guess I wasn't clear. I was asking about Vee Jay's "Introducing the Beatles". Do you have Spizer's Vee Jay book, and is it addressed as to whether the mono is a fold of the stereo?

 

Duh! Let me see if I can find that!

 

Sorry, but at the moment I'm not seeing the Vee Jay volume. Too much stuff. Found all the other ones though. It's around here someplace. I hate it when I can't find something I know I have. As soon as I locate it I'll let you know.

 

Nowhere Man...

not from capitol anyway. You may find a used corrected set as one cannot totally trust a sealed one with the YELLOW SK1 STICKER that was placed on the outside of the box of the corrected CDs as.there were still some defective boxes even with the sticker!

 

"Introducing" contains the genuine mono mixes of "Please Please Me" and "Ask Me Why." I think the rest of it consists of stereo fold-downs (in the case of "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You," I suspect these were folded down from the fake stereo U.K. mixes).

 

is this a legitimate release?

 

Thanks, Doug. This seems to me a reasonable conclusion, given the identical intro edits on the mono and stereo versions of "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Misery".

 

No.

 

Hmmmm - it might be...

... in some far-off principality that does not adhere to international copyright rules.

 

gotcha!

 

I figured...

 

Whether it's a legitimate release or not remains debatable but I've got one and I am satisfied at the accurate replica of the original Capitol LP.

I grew up with them. I wasn't insulted by the box. In fact I rather liked it

 

It is completely updated

 

Where (besides in a ska-billion dis-jointed posts here)?

I mean, if we could collect all of the relevant corrections (verifiable and documentable and I don't think there will be that many of them all aded up) and assemble them into one thread on this forum and call it "Brennans Beatles Mix Variations Corrections (once and for all)" - HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE!

Slane ... are you interested in undertaking such a task?

 

Where, holder of all secrets?

 

Legitimate? Not so much. Beautifully-done & worthwhile? Absolutely! It is really nicely done.

And - as suggested above - a great companion to the CAPITOL ALBUMS sets. (Altho one would still really need MMT, w original duophonic mixes, and - IIRC? - the early SFF mix.)

 

like it or not it ain't the AMERICAN ALBUMS...covers and track listing yes, but that doesn't qualify it as an authentic CAPITOL ALBUMS box set of albums that we grew up with since 1964...you know that, I know that and we all know that...I see this as an empty box set...

 

thanks for the info...

 

Understand your position . But I have a stereo rig that's probably twenty times better now then I had then and any cd will sound different then any LP anyway .

I have about four or five of each Capitol LP title to satisfy my American Beatles craving when I desire that.

 

and I respect that.

 

I just had to read this thread. I just may have to get this

 

Does the Japanese version contain the American mixes of I'm Only Sleeping and Dr. Robert (there's a 3rd song but can't come up with it just now)?
