    IIMO better than the UK with no edits, adjustments, etc. as the 2009 had...they are not pure. there's a list of the 2009 adjustments here somewhere on the forum...

    it would not be Volume 3, but at least it would tie up some loose ends!

    were they not at one going to continue on with these?

    if so, what happened? or didn't happen?

    We could just add it to Volume 2 and call it a day.

    The infestation of fanboys is one of the main causes, with silly threads.

    Did John Lennon stay regular by eating prunes or by putting Metamucil on his cornflakes?

    Then there are at least 3-4 times per year we have Capitol albums threads that have been argued to death over the past 15 years.

    yes, a nice mini LP size CD would fit nicely in Vol 2!

    IMO only 3 Lennon songs were needed/fit the sonic landscape of Revolver: She Said, She Said, Tomorrow Never Knows and I'm Only Sleeping. The rest (along with Rain) belonged on Y&T as a nice bridge between Rubber Soul and Revolver. Even as is, I prefer US Revolver with Lennon closing out each side with stand-out tracks. It's darker and weirder than it's UK counterpart. I've also recently listened to the mono mixes of the Revolver songs on Y&D, and they aren't flat sounding like the mono UK Revolver tracks. Can anyone confirm that the US mono version is like that as a whole? If so, it would be quite a highlight of a Capitol Vol 3 release.

    fmfxray373 Capitol LPs in the 70s were pretty good.

    It doesn't matter how good the UK albums are, and how nice they sounded and how smartly put together.
    It doesn't matter how good or not good the US albums were, and if the sound quality sucked.

    What mattered is that the music itself was good enough that millions of Americans bought the Capitol albums, thus saving the Beatles from the fate of Cliff Richard.

    Remember that episode of the Young Ones? Where Rick says "Oh Cliff"? And if you were like me in America in the 1980s watching them on MTV you had no idea who he was talking about?
    If it wasn't for Capitol, he would have been saying "Oh The Beatles...."

    they were and then they decided to give us the UK 1987 2009 masters along with the US Artwork instead and call it the Beatles U.S. Albums Box Set!

    which is not mastered from all of the US Capitol album tapes like Volume 1 and Volume 2 were...TRUE AMERICAN CAPITOL masters...

    It was a joke. It was the other Paul picture. And another Ringo one.

    Buncha squares...

    If they made the Anthology today, there would talk of lots of Coca-Cola and jelly beans being ingested.

    You mean QRP? They never did the Red/Blue albums so...

    Never mind the high fidelity issues most of these albums have. Why would you need to do 45 RPM on the US albums when most of them are less than 30 minutes long?

    Why not have them in the best possible fidelity?
    Have you heard the 2004/2006 boxes or not?
