Capitol Boxes Up Early Beatles Albums

The Beatles' first four U.S. albums -- "Meet the Beatles," "The Beatles Second Album," "Something New" and "Beatles '65" -- will be bundled together in the boxed set "The Capitol Albums Volume 1," due Nov. 16. All were originally released in 1964 as Beatlemania swept the United States.

"In the '60s, American record labels often chose to reformat British records to suit the needs of the U.S. market," says Capitol president Andy Slater. "In America, singles were generally included on current albums, where in the U.K. albums and singles were most often separate releases. Higher music publishing costs in the U.S. also made it impractical to include as many songs on American albums. In addition, in the case of the Beatles, some of the recordings on the American albums were given more echo than the British versions, to 'Americanize' their sound."

The albums, which have been remastered from the original tapes, include stereo and mono versions of each song. Each album is housed in a miniature replica of its original album cover, while the box will feature a 48-page booklet chronicling the Beatles' unprecedented 1964.

"Meet the Beatles" (originally issued Jan. 20, 1964, in the United States) begins with what was at the time the group's latest single, "I Want To Hold Your Hand," and its U.S. and U.K. B-sides, "I Saw Her Standing There" and "This Boy." The bulk of the remaining tracks were taken from the U.K. version of the album "With the Beatles."

"The Beatles Second Album" (April 10, 1964) is a grabbag of such tracks as the "She Loves You" single and its B-side "I'll Get You," additional songs from "With the Beatles," cuts from the "Long Tall Sally" EP and a German version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand."

"Something New" (July 20, 1964) includes eight songs from the soundtrack to the Beatles' first film, "A Hard Day's Night," although not the title track or "Can't Buy Me Love." The album was denied the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top LPs chart by the movie's proper soundtrack, issued by United Artists.

"Beatles '65" (Dec. 15, 1964) boasts the "I Feel Fine"/"She's a Woman" single, the "A Hard Day's Night" leftover "(I'll Be Back)" and eight songs from the U.K. album "Beatles for Sale," including three particularly dark John Lennon tunes, "No Reply," "I'm a Loser" and "Baby's in Black."

It is unknown if Capitol plans to re-release additional titles such as "Beatles VI" or "Yesterday ... and Today."

There's no denying The Beatles had a huge impact on the music industry, but I was never much of a fan. I don't own any of their albums and Capitol putting them in a box won't change that.

I'm sure you'd find Tomm's company just fine in the aforementioned box headed for the disposal if you could hear each other over both of you saying "you sure got a purdy mouth". Yep, a love story only BuffettNews could conjure up.

My apologies for falling prey to the BN trolls, I should honestly know better than that by now.

For those of you that are geninuely interested in the new Beatles box set you can learn more about it here:
http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/de ... CAP66878-4

A few years ago I saw a limited edition Beatles box at a Turtles Music store in Hotlanter but it was more than I could afford at the time so I held off on purchasing it. Well, when our local Turtles Music store was going out of business last year and marking everything down to ridiculously low prices I saw where they had one and I didn't waste much time snatching one up. I'm glad I did but it means now holding off on this new box set. Anyway, it was a very nice find, remastered or not. Hopefully one day the Buffett catalog will receive the same treatment. I know I'd buy it.

You know you can say F**K YOU with a smile and it still means the same. I could be reading it wrong but I thought the smile was for his ideal....
