    Vol 1 was all 1964 albums, and Vol 2 was all 1965. I doubt a Vol 3 was ever really planned, as much as we all wanted one. And has been mentioned, with the US Albums box, I think they want to forget all about the Capitol boxes.

    Yesterday and Today on the 2014 box used the UK stereo mixes, but the US mono mixes, so it's a hybrid. Most, but not all, of the earlier US mixes were also on the 2014 box.

    Day Tripper is a different stereo mix, no? Still not the original US mix I don't think.

    Cap. Vol. 1 & 2 had an obviousness to them that left no head-scratching as to their contents. The US Albums box made a Vol. 3 'effort' superfluous - despite the difference in using original 60s Capitol masters (Cap. sets) vs. mostly 2009 Apple masters (US Albums); they figured that the effort put into the US Albums set had killed the other bird (the need for a Vol. 3) with the same stone. They could get the same people that bought Vol. 1 & 2 to buy the US Albums to 'complete their set'. Plus, Vol. 3 would offer yet another competing legacy release. They probably believe that the Capitol/Vee-Jay/UA/Apple albums from the American catalog need to be suppressed rather than re-hyped and glorified. In an odd way, it's a competing discography; the only real competition The Beatles legacy 'canon' has ever had has been with its very own American discography. Not in terms of sales, necessarily (the US market had it beat), but rather in terms of historical legitimacy. That's why it had to 'go away' in 1987. Which one was the real discography that leant itself to the 1960s Beatles experience? The answer, of course, is both.

    so basically no one addressed my Kickstarter question? Is it virtually impossible? or do we need to guarantee a lot of money? ...beg Paul , Ringo, Yoko, Mrs. Harrison? I'm reaching...I know.

    Kickstarters work well in situations where a person owns music and wants to release it, but lacks label interest and the funds to release it independently. That is the exact opposite of this situation. Money is not an issue, and neither is lack of label interest. Rather it is that the rights holders do not want to release the configuration/contents that you want. Raising money (I guess to try to bribe them) is not going to change their minds, because their decision not to release it is not a financial decision, and they are already filthy rich.

    Yes, both sides of that single had their own unique US mixes. Neither are very good, imho.

    At this point, I think a realistic expectation would be an expanded Rarities collection that includes all of the "strays," such as the Y&T stereo mixes, the '66 SFF, the various Walrus mixes, the "alterations" on Rock and Roll Music/Love Songs, and all of the others "hanging out there."

    This difference is exactly why the Capitol box CDs are so cool, and they sound sooo great!

    "despite the difference in using original 60s Capitol masters (Cap. sets)"

    Those did have some remixes so not entirely a waste.

    Excuse if this has been answered previously, was there ever any "official" notification from Apple, etc., that there would be a Vol 3 issued? Or has this always been something fans simply wanted and assumed would happen?

    In addition to not having all of the U.S. mixes, a major beef I had with the U.S. Albums was using the mono version twice for such songs as Love Me Do, PS I Love You, She Loves You, I'll Get You, etc. The "best" fake stereo version should have been used for those songs.

    IIRC, Ted Jensen may have mentioned or suggested Volume 3 may have been already done or started? BUT IT WAS EXPECTED...hint hint ;Volune 1 & 2 were out...to finish it with Volume 3 was a given to most who invested in the first 2...sadly, the most wanted by many was the ORIGINAL Yesterday & Today album Stereo/Mono!

    There was never any kind of official announcement for a Volume 3, just lots of speculative hope from Capitol fans. My guess is that it never got beyond the discussion stage, and any hopes of it happening died for good when Capitol President Andy Slater (the main suit who was behind the first two volumes) was ousted from his position in January of 2007. Aside from Yesterday and Today and Magical Mystery Tour, there really was no consensus on what should have been on a hypothetical third volume anyway.

    Bruce's comments on this thread pretty much answer the questions about why Vol 3 didn't happen. I can quibble with some of his logic, but at least he offers a reasonable explanation.
