Yes. If a Vol. 3 had been released that included the rest of the U.S. unique mixes/masterings, this thread probably wouldn't exist. The U.S Albums could have been subsequently been released without much controversy and with the marketing slant of "upgraded sound." This situation could still be rectified with a Vol. 3 release that was similar to 1 and 2 in approach.
If a 50th anniversary version of Y&T with all of the correct mixes (duophonic and true stereo) had been issued, most of the bitching about the set would go away.
Hell, I'm not proud...looking at them tapes, let me be the first to say: Had that one too...I loved that shade of blue, complimented the cover nicely. Then there's this one, which I still have: Always thought the black cover was cool!
Parlophone...EMI...Apple... Here's an 8 Track that Apple put out: "We still need to blame Capitol. Capitol made Apple put their Apple symbol on this Eight Track. It was a 13th generation tape that Capitol slipped to Apple when Apple wasn't looking. Not to mention how Capitol sent subliminal messages to Apple while Apple slept. Telling Apple to "put out a Hey Jude album via Eight Track."
Apple sent the Hey Jude album to Argentina: And to Japan: EMI and Beatles Again. Again and again...corrupting foreign countries with this product:
Capitol had next to nothing to do with the Hey Jude album, it was conceived, compiled and mastered by Apple. It was released pretty much everywhere, except the UK (though the UK did produce an export version in 1970, with a commercial version released in 1979).
Ah: just seeing the strange Hey Jude track listing on the label brings back the excitement of finally hearing those songs in stereo...
Because, of course, having singles on an album in England was "just cheating the record buying public/"
That is the Spanish edition. TBOJAY was banned here, not because of the reference to crucifixion, but because of the line "Gibraltar, near Spain". The Spanish government considers Gibraltar part of Spain, in the sixties the conflict with the UK over that colony was very serious.

He might be "bumping" the thread <at least half of the posts here seem to be his> but since I subscribe to it it's irritating because I keep getting notices of a new post but it's seldom interesting info just pics or whatever. Face it, threads run out of steam and pics won't change that. I'm speaking from first-hand experience here!
In the instance of Something New, the point may be related to discussions in this thread in that it was issued by Apple/Toshiba EMI (not Capitol) and it is an American album (you know, the ones that some people on this forum believe are abominations, because the Beatles never had an album like these in England). The bigger question (and one unanswered/un-addressed by the poster DRM) is whether these releases used English versions/source tapes or whether they used the U.S. and Dexterized tapes.
I have to ask for a bit of help in reference to all this useful information. I have a sealed copy of Vol. 2 & it has the exact numbers and letters as the corrected sticker, but no SK1. I remember deliberately waiting to purchase this because I had read of the initial issue's mistakes. Do I need to open it to find out?
I'm guessing you have the fold-down version. I don't think they actually recalled what was out there, they just put out a corrected version and responded to those who complained about getting the wrong version. I think many/most buyers had no idea about the fold-downs and were OK with what they got, never knowing it had a mistake. I heard stories of people getting the fold-down version for years afterward when buying something brand new off the rack in a store.
