Look I’m a David Too. I feel that they should rerelease the Capitol Years from the early 2000s on compact Disc( I would put it in an lp box set format like the Revolver box or Sgt Pepper box). However I just don’t understand Calderstones/AppleCorp/VBeatlesinc marketing strategy it’s a mystery.

I have an early 80s stereo uk press. From what I read it’s identical to the 70s press you reviewed because it stayed in print for a few years. I can confirm it sounds fantastic! Bass doesn’t sound bloated and the guitars (especially in ‘and I love her’) sound very rich and detailed!

David if you want to hear a worse sounding pressing than the ones you have there. Try the hdn deagostini copy, according to my mate the sound keeps dropping out and the beatles sound as if there singing through a drain pipe. I don't know about that my copy is still shrink rapped

Hi will you be getting the beatles 60th anniversary white vinyl to make up your hdn collection only available in England you should be able to get it on the Internet

I find that Capitol Albums on cassette far more interesting. The mixes were different. I'll Get You, She Loves You, and Thank You Girl are the last three songs on The Beatles' Second Album on side two on the cassette. I recreated that with the U.S Albums boxset in mono on CD.

So this was very useful! I was going through my dad's records and I saw this and thought the back looked odd. It looked like there was a sticker over the back of the cover. I knew Yesterday and Today had a sticker on its cover, so I wanted to see if something similar had happened with an older album. That led me to Wikipedia which showed there were two versions of "Introducing...the Beatles" I didn't know what version I had if it was a rare album just casually sitting in a record cabinet or not, but thanks to this, I can confirm it's not. Looks like Dad only paid $1 for it, so it's not a big loss.

I once had the box set, I want to buy it again

Don't have it, but all I know is I'd love to have it.

I believe it’s a second pressing. From what I remember from a Parlogram video on the box, on record two the cover had Paul playing the bass right handed and John playing his guitar left handed

Thank you David, great video as always ❤️ I have this box set; I bought it last year but I couldn’t afford the Vinyl version so I picked it up on Cassette very reasonably- and it sounds great; very clear and punchy - much better than I was expecting actually. My mid-90s Sony hi-fi is connected to my iMac as I rip all my CDs into iTunes for convenience (my record player is also connected to this). It’s a bit temperamental with these older cassettes so I recorded the tapes into Audacity and created digital files which I then imported into iTunes (basically like a needle drop but with cassettes) - I have to say it sounds even better now - I think because iTunes has a nice adjustable EQ - and I don’t have to worry about the tapes breaking or changing them, so it just plays as long playlist:) I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants this set but maybe can’t afford or can’t find the Vinyl, the Cassettes make a good option as this set does contain some unique mixes. Also David, according to the Steve Hoffman audiophile forum, you should have a lovely-sounding pressing there. I’m looking forward to your review 😊 Sorry for such a long comment. Take care and stay safe 🙏

Got tapes

I have this. It's recorded well with different versions of songs on almost every album. It's a must have to any Beatles collection

4th generation tapes! Hardly clean

I recently got an Indian Pressing of this vinyl!

Rank The Rolling Stones us releases

Back in the UK, in 1965 the tax code was KT, it's usually embossed into the centre of the record near the centre spindle hole , this code denotes the cost, which was 32/6 ,pre decimal currency, which was alot of money for a young person to fork out , the younger folk had Dansettes or similar suitcase style auto- changer players which were primarily mono reproducers , only the older better off people had quality gear like dynatron or garrard players, so to find a really good UK original is a very difficult task because the kids played these records to death using the old flip type carts which were mostly sapphire stylus, but no one back in 1965 was giving any credence to how sought after these pressings would be in 40, 50, 60, years time.

Nice video as always. Just wanted to let you know that I gave a shout out to your channel in the video (only my 3rd ever) that I have just uploaded to enter the vinyl tag video for TONYS LPSRUS and celebrate his two year anniversary of doing KZbin videos. My video is at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpSqqpWZgLBlmsU I hope to see more of your wonderful videos, particularly as The Beatles seem fairly active this year. Thanks.

The "fake" Introducing The Beatles LPs are fake only because Vee Jay's license expired. But the contents were the same non-Dexrerized selections. Just clarifying because I have both authentic and illegal copies.

Need a Mono UK Please Please Me lp

How to post picture here? Question on top black dot...how to contact?

There have always been and will be only the UKs issues taken for originals. The US issues are not even copies in view of sound quality, false mono mastering, covers and, last but not least, numbers of songs of each of the albums due to US tax reasons. On top,the forthcoming issue of the Capitol box seems to be just a money grab.

All the US issues have been not even just copies but grabs of the original UKs. Sound/Covers/no. and mix of the each single piece.

Nobody but Americans will buy this. Inferior sounding, strange track listing. Worst release from Apple, ever and The Beatles Story ??!!! Wtf ?!

WAS 19 IN 72' AND THE BEATLES WERE OVER MORE EXCITING STUFF COMING...........................

As a person who grew up with the Capitol Records I am excited.

Thanks for this. You sounded just like The Beatles in concert at the very beginning -drowned out by the screaming!

What a fantastic video have a great day also happy first week of fall ❤😊🇨🇦🎸🇺🇸🍂

I think the way most people experienced Beatlemania around the world was with the original UK pressings, with some exceptions such as these US releases. Hearing the release date of 22nd of November, it is a very significant date in Beatles history. For one, with the Beatles was released on this date in 1963. Secondly- the first time the Beatles were shown on US TV was in the early morning hours of the 22nd of November 1963. It was a news broadcast that was doing a segment on this new phenomenon in England that went by the name of the Beatles. Not sure if it was CBS or NBC that showed it, you can look for it here on KZbin. Story goes that they were supposed to show it again in the evening news if not for an even bigger news- the assassination of president John F Kennedy. I’ve never been interested in these US releases to be honest, I kinda see them like i would see any import album that releases their own version of an album. To me is UK all the way. That being said , i have bought the meet the Beatles blue vinyl cos i collect color vinyl. Great video btw.

Most definitely, I will not be purchasing this new vinyl boxed set at any time at all. However; if I had to actually select just one of these reissues for any reason whatsoever, then it would have to be The Beatles' Second Album. Reason being is because this particular album release has, without a doubt, the finest track listing of any of 1964 albums released by Capitol. The eleven songs are comprised of a truly great assortment of original compositions mixed in with several excellent cover tunes, making the listening experience a really rocking good time to be had by all. The result is a real Rock and Roll album that everyone can enjoy!

Mono? Oh you misguided people! Capitol Full Dimensional Stereo is the only way these should be played! Use good quality headphones and you can hear every instrument and see how good the early Beatles really were. Same things with the Beach Boys Capitol FDS albums.

I'm going individual - I couldn't stand The Beatles Story and hardly ever played it. I'm also not gettting The Early Beatles, with my Vee Jay copy and several remastered copies of Please Please Me, who needs it.

Three months, was it? I wondered why I hadn't seen your channel in a while.

The question is: will they release these and the rest albums in mono and stereo and when? Until they finish this series there'll be no other releases from Apple, including long awaited Rubber Soul remix. Or this series isn't gonna be finished at all, as it has already happened with Capitol Albums CD volumes.

not by the sound quality but maybe to flip, if that's what you're after

Really nice to see you back; thank you for taking the time to make this video 😊 I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, I love your videos and I’ve found those about different pressings etc to be super helpful; I bought a Japanese pressing of Revolver as a result of what you said about it - I’m really happy with it, so thank you very much indeed:) I’m in the U.K. and I’ve never heard the U.S. versions of The Beatles albums. The box set is way out of my budget, but following what you and others have said, if I can afford to, I’d like to maybe get a copy of Meet The Beatles at least - I love With The Beatles. In the U.K. we’re apparently being offered a HMV exclusive blue vinyl of Meet The Beatles? 🤔 Regarding where these records are being pressed - if it’s MPO in France, that should be good news - I’ve got a couple of the Deagostini pressings of the stereo remasters and they are very nice. Thank you again, take care 😊❤

I'd have thought the mono pressings would have been out of print since the late 1960s. America was quite an early adopter of stereo, certainly before us here in the UK. Even over here they stopped releasing mono albums in 1969 until the 2014 Beatles in Mono set.

SO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH MISERY , THERE'S A PLACE , FROM ME TO YOU ,SIE LIEB DICH AND THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF LOVE ME DO ? WHERE ARE GOING TO FIT ?

I preordered the box set and four copies of “Meet The Beatles”. I have several original copies of all of these, but what the heck.

I hope you keep coming back. Your channel is my favorite on KZbin. Thanks.

I have my mom's old copies of Introducing... and Meet The Beatles. Just the idea of getting minty fresh pressings with the Dexterized sound is enough for me to pick up the albums one at a time. No desire for Beatles Story considering how much more the box set is.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

That 65 looks like....dracula. Beatles...they only hafta shoe thrfangs😮

Would love the deluxe edition of this but kinda expensive & hard to find.

I wish i still had my Butchers. i had 4 two of each stereo and mono of the second and third states.

Great commentary. Why didn’t you play any of it?

I have heard some people say that they’re buying these US Capitol albums purely for nostalgia so I understand where they’re coming from. I read that Dave Dexter did not like the Beatles and so he didn’t do as good a job with their music as he would other artists’ from the states and so their sound suffered because of it. Sound wise , the UK is the best mostly because when it was sent to other countries, the quality of sound changed because of it, This happened in every country around the world. That’s why when you put any foreign LP against the UK originals, the UK will always have better quality. I’m taking back in the day, nowadays you can have the same UK quality in any country and that is why when the capitol albums were released on CD in 2004, they used the UK original source rather than the US. I would also like to add that the reason why the US got singles onto albums is- first of all, the US albums are essentially compilation albums. Meaning they are drawn from various sources, as in the case of meet the Beatles which was sourced from the first album, the second album and singles. So it was not a straightforward LP. Secondly- the Beatles had a policy of never putting singles onto albums. The reason being they wanted to give their fans their money’s worth. So they would put regular songs on the albums and then write songs specifically for the singles market. I am buying the meet the Beatles album but only because it’s being released on blue vinyl as a limited edition and i love colored vinyl. I do agree that for collecting purposes you should buy the US capitol records, bu then, you should probably also buy the Japanese, Mexican, Italian, French, Argentinian etc versions cos as you said, they all have different album covers and track listings, i for one have always been intrigued by the Canadian version of with the Beatles, it has a very cool looking album cover. Great video btw.

Until late last year I had always thought the Beatles record labels went straight from rainbow to Apple. Oh how little did I know, so thank you for setting the record straight ;)

There is one other legitimate variation within oval Vee Jay label logo, and you are correct on sound quality, real copies sound fantastic and version 2’s are much much more common then version 1’s 👍🏻

If you can’t see Pauls hands folded it’s a fake

Hello there , I have a 1980s British pressing of the white album with the wrong tracks pressed onto side 4, it starts with strawberry fields, then penny lane and so on tracks that make up the 1967.....1970 blue album. Thats one hell of a manufacturers miss press, I still have it to this day mint condition played once only.
