I'd love to see Off The Ground reissued on vinyl, as I can't get this for love nor money and what copies are available are going for seriously stupid prices..

I agree but the longer it goes on without a McCartney archive edition, the less likely it is that we will ever get another one. It seems the series is dead unfortunately

[@thechuckster6838]

I'm in America and these releases is all we had. I own both the stereo and mono versions in mint condition. I will not be ordering these. I feel that the definitive re-issues of thses albums were the Capitol albums on CD of the early 2000's. They are a true representation of those albums. The mixes of those box sets are authentic to the albums as we know them. A total money grab IMO.

[@joegordon2915]

This is great! Hopefully Paul McCartney will soon be releasing another version of band on the run and McCartney lll ! If we are very lucky the Harrison will rerelease all things must pass again too!

[@Andy1962-in-Kinross]

Really appreciate your initial reaction to these ‘new’ releases and find myself in total agreement with you. I’m happy with my Capitol volumes 1&2 CD boxsets from 2004 / 2006 & the US Albums CD boxset from 10 years ago. I had most of the Capitol albums back in the 70s courtesy of an American neighbour who obtained them through the US store (PX?) for Service Personnel. They were on the Apple 🍏 Wish I still had them! Hopefully, we’ll get the Rubber Soul boxset for the 60th anniversary next year. I had expected a celebration of A Hard Day’s Night & Beatles for sale this year. Oh well guess not now.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Totally get it Andy, you have this one covered and now have some free-ed up cash to spend on something nice this xmas. I would have also preferred 1964 to have been covered by a box set of AHDN and BFS remixed in stereo.

[@angiethebeatlesgirl228]

Hello Mr. Beatley Tone Since I already have the 2 Capitol albums box sets that came out in the early 2000s and the U.S. albums box set that came out in 2014, I will not be getting this vinyl box set The only one that I might be getting is A Hard Day’s Night, only to get the original mix instead of the 2009 mix Now having said that I am very happy that this is coming out so that new Beatles fans or people like you who never owned them could have them I will definitely be looking forward to your unboxing of the records Thank you for another awesome video God bless you, and I will catch you on the next one

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

You're welcome Angie and Im glad you enjoyed the video. I hear what you're saying but these will sound different to the Cd boxes that you mention. Im glad these are being reissued as Ive never owned them and the mixes from the original analogue tapes makes this a bit of a curio for me but I totally get why you're dipping out this time. Hope you are doing well my friend.

[@Billthemusicman]

A great alternative to these releases are the excellent sounding 2004/2206 Capital Cd collections which include both stereo and mono mixed true to the American (Dave Dexter) originals, unlike the later issue that simply used the 2009 remasters. Although out of print they are still fairly available on eBay and way way less money. These releases will take you all the way through Rubber Soul, and really do sound great. No UA Hard Days night or Beatles story, but you gain Beatles VI, Help, and Rubber Soul.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yes they are great boxes for CD buyers Bill. thanks for supplying great info on what's included

[@mikeysaint4368]

I have the 2014 CD box set. I believe they have different mixes, and I really like the 2014 packaging. It's like the mono box - a cubed box rather than two long boxes.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

@@mikeysaint4368 yeah I know it but dont have it

[@mikeysaint4368]

I was dismissive of the American albums for decades, until I very belatedly got the 2014 CD box set of The Beatles: The US Albums last year. Really nicely packaged, and it's my go-to when I want to listen to a mixture of the North American releases for historical value, and to listen to Beatles compilations generally. I've never found any Beatles' compilation particularly satisfying because of all the great tracks that are always missing, while with the US albums you get everything, albeit on different discs. They're not the Dave Dexter versions with added reverb, they have the mixes sent by EMI to Capitol, plus the 2009 mixes, I believe. An excellent feature is that you get both stereo and mono versions of the songs in the CD box. I know these LP releases aren't the same thing, but I'd urge Beatles fans to get the US albums as companion pieces to the official UK albums. They're very enjoyable. Edit: Even though I have KZbin Premium, I do get annoyed when adverts are forced on me and I have to skip past them, so I appreciate your integrity, Tone.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yes that really is a nice package that at lest includes all the Us albums on CD including Hey Jude which was actually one of the first Beatles albums I ever owned even though Im in the UK. I didnt release it was an import at the time but Ive always had a soft spot for it. I dont have YT premium so I get all the ads which I find really annoying, that's why I dont allow any on my videos despite it meaning I earn less money

[@denniswood1437]

What I am grateful for is that the 1964 Capitol albums are going to be in analog mono vinyl LP format. I heard a bit of "I Feel Fine" from the promo and it does sound like the Dave Dexter heavy reverb mix. As I already own most of these, I'll just purchase a couple of them individually.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yes this the great thing about these re-releases analog master tapes - I think a lot people have missed that point Dennis. Whatever you decide to get, enjoy them when they arrive my friend . Im looking forward to hearing the dexter mixes for the first time

[@ianz9916]

I suppose the real question is, if you don't buy them, will you regret it later? There are so many people out there bemoaning the fact that the UK Mono Box Set isn't available any more but, how many of those decided against buying it when it came out? I know you can talk about the expense but, whilst it isn't cheap, it's still a lot cheaper than the Super Deluxe Mind Games that recently came out of the Lennon camp, or the extortionately priced Singles Crate that McCartney was peddling.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Oh blimey Ian that singles crate was superb and worth every penny at £600 for 81 singles and at the very worst an investment that is now worth around £2k - not that I would ever sell mine unless I was in the gutter. Agree that many turned their nose up at the mono box and now want mono albums included in Stereo box sets . Just goes to show , you cant please everybody and the number of people you can please is diminishing

[@jesserussell7242]

I first became familiar with the capital albums when I bought the CD version from 2004 and 2005 I love those albums those are fantastic album to say the least. and I love hearing that mixes from America because they’re so unique which is great.

[@jasonardler8373]

Thanks for keeping us up to date as always Tone. Quite honestly I don’t understand why the rest of the world has any interest in the US only albums when they aren’t what the Beatles released and are broadly regarded as inferior to the UK albums. Why do these albums have any greater significance to the rest of the world than unique releases from other countries? If this is what we are getting instead of a Rubber Soul (or PPM) remix then I am deeply disappointed. I have a 1981 Aussie pressing of the US AHDN soundtrack, an early 70’s pressing of US Help, and the US Albums vol 1 & 2 on CD. That will do me - for the first time I won’t be buying any of these new releases. 😞 Also disappointed to report that the Mind Games items I preordered in May have still not arrived 🤬 Here’s hoping an announcement from the Macca camp is imminent - I need something to look forward to before Xmas 😅

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

I get your disappointment Jason and hopefully they will get back on the UK remix series next year. From what I understand Giles Martin wasnt available to the Beatles this year, probably due to other projects. I also understand the Mal tech is having a massive upgrade so that hasnt been available either for any other producer to do the remix(not that I think they would use anyone but Giles to do this). What the hell has happened to your Mind Games ?

[@jasonardler8373]

Thanks very much Debbie

[@paulf6973]

The Capitol Albums from the early 00s are an interesting curio, especially the dodgy 'duophonic' stereo mixes. I have a soft spot for the fake stereo mix of She Loves You, in particular. I have 3 copies of Vol 2 on CD, all 3 with the fold down mono. The completist in me kept trying to get the correct version, but I'm not going to try a 4th time! As for this set, it's a niche release for a certain generation of American fan. Not the release most of us would have wanted, but oh well! PS. I'm a fan of the 2014 US Albums CD set, mainly because it includes properly EQ-d mono versions of the 2009 remasters, including most of their material up to Revolver.

[@mikecoffee100]

that sounds interesting

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yes the 2004 Cd sets. According to the blurb the new issues are direct analogue mono from the masters Paul

[@finch45lear]

I love my Capitol cd boxes from 19 years ago. Beautiful sound and mono/ stereo. Nice.

[@billleary5779]

Hey Tone……I am glad that the Beatles 60th anniversary in the U.S. is being recognized. I am glad they are making these records available again. Being an American I can say that I did grow up with these versions. I do have vinyl copies of these in mono but the ones I have are over 60 years old so it is nice to get these in mint condition. I am curious to see if they stay true to the original Capitol album aesthetic and release the fold down mixes as opposed to the true mono mixes which was done for many of the U.S. albums with the exception of Beatles VI and Rubber Soul which were true mono mixes. Curious to see if we get a second volume of this set next year. We’ll have to wait and see. Thanks so much for sharing this video and glad you are doing well Tone!

[@kgeo753]

Nicwe to see a positive comment. Despite their bad cover art and poor mixes these albums are a huge part of Beatles history. They deserve a proper reissue and I'm glad I don't have to spend $900 to get decent pressings of 6 albums.

Fingers crossed for the Macca album

[@1970sEnthusiast]

I'm sure not sure how to feel about this set. It just seems like Giles Martin wasn't available to do a remix and apple panicked and said let's do the US albums. But this year would've been perfect for a 1964 Boxset with a remix of hard days night and Beatles for sale, a double album of outtakes, both albums in mono and a singles collection LP with stereo remixes on side A and the mono mixes on side B. Idk I just think this announcement was a let down, hopefully we finally get rubber soul next year for the 60th anniversary.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

AHDN and Beatles for sale would have been my top choice too. Ive heard it's actually true that Giles Martin wasnt available this year - committed to other projects.

[@davehealey2397]

This issue of Giles Martin being unavailable has been rumoured as a reason for the inability to issue Rubber Soul or an alternative original album issue in special extended edition form. Clearly there was time to remix a range of tracks for the extended Red and Blue albums. Had these just been issued in their original format then there would have been ample opportunity to use the time to create remixes for the undoing series. Whilst I am sure that it is a comforting 'family' choice to employ Giles in this role there are surely others who are able to carry out. or assist with, remixes. Perhaps Giles could have overseen or supported another producer in the role. Wherever you stand on the US albums release, it appears that resources were found there to oversee the production duties on eight albums. It is a shame that in the UK we do not seem to be able to find resources to service the greatest band that the world has ever known. I am sure that there is a market in the US for a series of alternative compilations of The Beatles' recordings from 60 years ago, but it would appear that there will be no release on a full range of formats to cater for markets elsewhere this year. Perhaps it is felt that this is a universal release but it does, to me personally, feel like a very specific regional release. It is vinyl only, is using mono masters that seem to be based upon stereo originals provided by the UK back in the 1960s and adapted with fold-downs and other processes to match what was felt appropriate for the domestic US market at that time. It does not correspond with the unified mix philosophy that has been put in place in recent years.

[@LarryGravesCanadianStudmuffin]

Hope you are doing well, Tony! I myself am not that excited as I won't be buying it, but I have great memories of some of the U.S. Beatles albums from when I was younger. We all want the remix of Rubber Soul... but maybe next year hopefully.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Having grown up with this track listing I still have a hard time with the U.K. version, even though you get more music and its what the Beatles intended this set is very sentimental to me. I have copies of all of these but they are a bit worn after sixty years ( as I am as well 😞) Take care Tone, hope you are doing well.

Hi Sharon, I doing great thanks . The worn out bit made me laugh. Totally get the sentimental aspect to these albums for Americans so you enjoy your box set when it arrives in November

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Also Sharon can you confirm that the box set Wass $300 plus tax and shipping because its seems odd the that the 6 albums are $30 = $180 and the box set is $300 meaning that the slip case plus The Beatles Story is $120 which seems wrong . Juts wondering if the price on the web site is wrong

I agree that they should have gone to the whole way and released all the US LPs together in a big box. I do like the US ‘folk rock’ Rubber Soul.

[@dougiemilnephotography756]

In point of fact, the American albums used, with a few exceptions, the same mixes as the UK albums. The difference was in the mastering. In the UK, mastering was done by George Martin as part of the mixing process. Copies of the mixes were made, taking them down one tape generation, and sent to the US. Dave Dexter then added additional reverb because he thought they didn't sound "American" enough, taking them down another tape generation. It's also worth noting that Meet The Beatles, The Beatles Second Album and The Early Beatles did not use true mono mixes, but folded down versions of the stereo mixes (with the exception of those tracks which had only been mixed into mono for release as singles).

Hi Tone , hmv are doing an exclusive blue vinyl pressing of meet the Beatles which is limited edition , which I have ordered , it’s released on the same day as the Beatles 1964 mono box set of 8Lps

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yeah i saw that John. £40 though

[@jameswheelock5006]

The USA version’s bordered on compilation albums especially later on like Yesterday and Today! This collection may be valuable to me for its slip case but I am still thinking of a reason to spend that much on albums and CD s I already have.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yes it's a tough decision James because these records are not cheap

[@stepheng1690]

Hi Tone & great to see you looking well & a very strange release this & sorry to say scraping the bottom of the barrel here in my honest opinion! They could have enticed the fans by selling the box sets at a really fair price but no! Personally I would love a Mono box set of all UK albums in different coloured vinyls & what a sensation that would be eh? Okay the Rolling Stones have done this but it's the Beatles we're talking about here & i can only live in hope 🙏

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Thnaks Stephen I'm doing ok . I wouldn't say scraping the bottom of the barrel Stephen - plenty are into this release and plenty against it. Its human nature to berate something you dont want or if its not the box set you're hoping for but I agree this set is well overpriced. I quite like the idea of a box set of coloured vinyl but im not sure the mono box set is the right thing. Coloured vinyl is a thing of the 70s and 80s and beyond so I feel if you want authentic mono it has to be black - maybe its just me but I want my mono records to look like they come from the 60s

[@ronmartin4212]

This puts my Capiphone-catalog spanning- project on hold for now.Next year,I hope.UK,North American,German lp exclusives,film mixes not on official vinyl or CD,later fades,all tracks in mono AND stereo!!Next year,Tone!!

Why does this affect your project buddy?

[@seananthonyegan3395]

Hello Beatley Tone good to see you back on air, I will give this a miss for the price and what you get in return its not worth it ,Apple have missed an opportunity to celebrate this anniversary. I bought the US Albums on CD the box set several years ago .the cost is eye watering, I holding on for the Rubber Soul box set hopefully in 2025 . Its so nice to see you back do not over do it and do as Mrs Beatley Tone tells you. Kind Regards Sean

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Thanks very much Sean and I always do what the missus says :-) Yes these are well overpriced so totally understand you giving these the swerve and sounds like you've got these covered on CD anyway. Hopefully they will get back to the UK Remix project next year

[@BeatlePete910]

Hi Tone, I hope you're feeling as well as you look! I specifically wanted to hear what you thought of this release. My thoughts are all over the map, so bear with me: Yes, I'm a first generation American fan but I am equally a Beatles historian. This release leaves more questions than it answers. Since 1987, Apple unified the catalog and made the UK releases, save for Magical Mystery Tour, the official canon. They made it a mission to bury the US albums. Since 2004, they keep finding new ways to re-release the US catalog, but with 3 attempts at it, Apple manages to miss the mark every time. They gave us the correct mixes in 2004-2005 (except for the first issue of the 2nd box where they used the wrong masters on 2 of the albums), but didn't complete the releases. With the US albums box, we got almost all of the albums, but only the alternative mix tracks peppered in with the 2009 remasters. The Early Beatles in a box titled 1964 makes my OCD totally kick in, just as it did with Now And Then on 1967 - 1970. It also begs the question of how they structure the next release, if in fact there is any plan to continue. With the Anthology remix/remaster looming and the pre-Revolver boxes starting to back up, how do they proceed? As for me, I scratched my head with one hand and preordered the box + Meet The Beatles on Blue Vinyl from Target with the other because this is literally a time capsule for me. I don't buy too much new vinyl, but this release checked every box for what I would choose to buy. The added incentive was that I have been hoarding Amazon points waiting for the big Beatles release of 2024, so this was downright affordable. To wrap up this Beatley tome, I am so grateful this wasn't a Universal/Beatles Store exclusive. They have continued to screw up every single order I have ever placed through them. The most recent inconvenience led to me not getting the Mind Games Lennon map. As usual, long story long.....Be well, Mate!

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Im doing ok thanks Pete. Great post and I hear you. if this release is ticking all your boxes then you have done the right thing but ordering it. It ticks my boxes too. How Apple go forward with part 2 and the stereo remix series is a question I want to talk about in another video coming soon because without trying to second guess how their roadmap work (if there even is a roadmap) I havent got a clue. They seem to be completely scattergun at the moment. Anyway at least you got a few bucks off with your Amazon points so lets celebrate that at least my friend, and enjoy your swag when it arrives

[@mr.milehi9883]

Since we've never seen any Us exclusive sets recently. I wonder if you think that the new mono box will have the truncated versions of those albums not or, the original 14 track European versions what do you think? Also, if you see anything about an Elton John collection of b-sides. Would you please make a video about that. I'm really poor at keeping up with a lot of these things. Thank you.

My good friend CharlieHagan ( My BeatlesCollection) said a colored vinyl Meet The Beatles will sold exclusively from Target stores . Beatles 65 was released in Canada and America, December 1964. The English win out here,, I'm staying with the English recordings . I still have my original LP'S, though well worn, including the Beatles Story. Do you know if the recording is off the original Capitol tapes, because they never sounded as good as the parlophone copies.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Indeed

[@trevorbrown2813]

I don’t think there is much reverb on the American mono sets except on I Feel Fine and She’s a Woman on Beatles 65. The stereo ones had most of the reverb, especially Beatles second album. AHDN has the longer I’ll Cry Instead.

[@americangroundhopper]

Even though I grew up with the US Albums, I still prefer the UK sequences. It is a cash grab based on sentimentality. While I bought the Early Beatles and a fake Introducing the Beatles, I bought the Please Please Me import in the early eighties. Remember, it took a rarities album to get There's a Place and Misery on a Capitol album.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

There are not many who would disagree that the UK albums re superior

Hi, Tone! I'll be picking these up individually. I've got a first pressing of The Beatles Story and I don't feel any need to have another copy. For the others, one of my Beatles collecting hobbies is buying different pressings with the various labels Capitol used over the years (your Beatles Story is on the 1976 Orange Label, for example). I think 180 gram remasters of these will be a nice addition to the collection but I understand if others choose to pass them by.

Hi Matthew sounds like you’re doing the same as me . Thanks for the info on my Capitol label which fits with the time i bought it. Enjoy your records when they arrive and nice to hear from you, hope you are well my friend

[@GoonyBoxes]

These are great. As a 1970's UK teen I didn't know they existed until the early 80's when I bought a discography book. I have one copy of all of them. I love the history behind them, particularly the fact the copies now on my turntable were bought all those years ago in a shop in the US and were well loved by the fans at the time. I'm not interested in all the moaning about the mangling of the albums and added reverb. These are an important part of music history in the biggest market in the world and deserve to be celebrated.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

[@BeatleDustino]

I’m highly confused on the pricing on this. The box is $300 yet the individual LP’s are $30? That means the box itself and the Beatles Story double LP are worth $120? Something is very off here. Did you see here in the U.S. at Target stores there’s an opaque blue vinyl version of Meet the Beatles too? It’s the only retailer I’ve seen with an exclusive on this so far. But seems odd they wouldn’t do the others on colored vinyl too.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Great point Dustin, I hadn't really thought that through - Im probably to focused on the GBP price. im trying to follow up on this to get you an answer

[@BeatleDustino]

@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel at least if there was a hardback book or something else included in the box. But pretty sure there isn’t. I’m going to kick myself for not getting the box, but I really don’t need The Beatles Story. I have the CD in the U.S. Albums box and that seems enough. Eventually I might get a vintage vinyl version if the price is right. What’s sad is last year with the Red & Blue boxes. Weren’t they only about $5 more than buying individually?

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

@@BeatleDustino I dont really understand the US pricing but the price is the same as the UK version. Seems a bit slapdash to not include a book seeing as this is celebrating the arrival in the US. If I buy all the albums separately the difference is £40 from the box set which seems more realistic but £40 does not equate to $120 - the would mean 3 dollars to the pound which is not the rate.

As an Englishman I don't own any of these records. So I am curious to hear them and I will probably buy the box. It is about £30 cheaper to buy the individual albums, but I would like the box on my shelf. These are all mono and Dave Dexterised so should be interesting.

[@petejp1]

I'm probably going to get the 6 albums individually instead of the box set. I can't justify paying over $100 more for the Beatles story and a slip case. What makes these albums appealing to me is that they are mono & all analog. Also, a lot of them are different mixes than the u.k. versions.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Exactly the same reasons I am buying the 6 albums Pete

[@whitey7998]

Thanks Tone. Personally, despite them being nice to have, they’re way too much money for very short albums ( I’ve seen longer EP’s ). The six individual LPs is surely the way to go. I may pick up one or two, but to be honest even £32 is too much for them. I’ll need to do some thinking

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Yes totally agree . they have got the pricing wrong on this project

[@trevorbrown2813]

Il wait until it doesn’t sell and the price drops below £120 and I may just buy the box. I purchased The Beatles Story about 75/76 in the U.K. like yourself. I think there will be another USA box with 6 remaining albums next year.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Im not so sure. I think they've done this specifically to celebrate 60 years since 1964, hence the albums they have chosen . That reason isnt relevant for the rest of the US albums. If this campaign is a success I expect the rest of the US albums will be released individually

Hi Tone- Glad your feeling better. The only entertaining thing about this set is listening to your funny comment: "Beatles 2nd album title . . . .rubbish . . . . not original. I laughed on that one! Anyway, I started my Beatles vinyl journey back in the mid-70's as well. Everything I read about Beatles vinyl collecting pointed to the UK Prints as the ones to get. I pretty much have stuck to that plan with a few exceptions: Yesterday and Today and Hey Jude US albums. My personal cross-section mini Beatles concerts. Why can't they (Apple) work on some decent live show releases? Nice video ! Thanks, Beatlefan Dan, USA

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Thanks Dan Im glad you got a laugh out of this video, and yes Im doing ok thank you. Hey Jude was of the first albums I got (I think I bought it and Abbey road on the same day) - I didnt know it was a US album back then nor that it was a complication but Ive always loved it and it's weird track listing. To be honest I'd rather Apple completed the Uk album Remix project before getting onto live albums. Obviously a big issue with Beatles live recordings is the screaming and also that the set list on so many recorded gigs is very similar

[@MrDirtybear]

So... ...so far Apple are playing it VERY safe, and remastering early material on vinyl, in all analogue too, but the Dave Dexter mixes. Most UK fans would have preferred all analogue UK George Martin mixes/Harry Moss masters. The under 30 mins rule for each release should at least allow for the most dynamic cutting of the discs. I hope that there will be new audio/visual material e.g. a documentary ready for Christmas viewing, but I doubt Apple are in any haste with that material.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Personally I think if these had the GM Uk mixes on them these records would have less interest from UK fans because we already have these in abundance. In my opinion (and the reason I am getting these) is Dexter mixes - its a kind of curiosity thing

Hey Tone…. I will be buying the box. However, like you, I wish they had included the rest of the albums that were in the American cd set. Because I don’t think they’ll be making a 1965 US box set next year for three or four albums. And if they do or even sell them individually, does that push back the album series box set another year? Or will there be a Rubber Soul box next year along with the option of buying an individual US Rubber Soul? Should be interesting. I certainly don’t need another copy of The Beatles Story. I don’t play it often but I have to say it was one of my first albums. Gifted to me by my grandmother. And being in that early Beatle fan stage I enjoyed hearing the snatches of music and them talking. Just hearing that opening of the instrumental I Want To Hold Your Hand takes me back to when it was all new for me. So not my first choice of what I would have liked this year but they’ll be getting my money. And since my old US albums are in stereo, at least these being in mono add a little more interest for me.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Oh that's a great bit of nostalgia for you - getting the Beatles Story from you Grandmother. Those were such exciting times, when we heard Beatles records for the first time. I agree that there wont be a continuation on the US albums but if there was, yes it would certainly put back the continuation of the UK Remix project which we really dont want to happen. I hope they include a US Rubber Soul in a Rubber Soul SDE the would be a nice addition and it would be great if that was available individually as well. But if they do that , What do they do with US Revolver or Yesterday & Today because the Revolver SDE is already done? My hope is that the rest of the US albums become available individually over time rather than doing other box set. Enjoy your box set when it arrives Michael.

[@beatleboy0195]

Scope for a vol 2 rubber soul etc. Great they are the original mixes but i'll skip these to see what's the next release they do next year. My luck it will be vol 2 which i won't get either LOL. But like you i do have the Beatles story played just once, and i'm suprised there's no cd version too.

Hi Tone. been waiting through today for your comments on this release. Not sure I really need it and the price point is open to debate. I have the two capitol cd box sets and may just stick with those. The unusual track listing throws me with the US issues. Disappointed its not a Rubber Soul Box Set to be honest. Hopefully our Beatle friends across the Atlantic are happier with this than we Brits are.

Hi Jim totally understand your disappointment about Rubber Soul. These are really expensive and it sounds like you have this covered with your CDs so i guess unless you want the vinyl you’re probably safe to give this the swerve

[@jimconlin5546]

I may pick up Meet the Beatles and '65. Ordered the shm cd of McCartney and Ram due out this week. The Beatles re issue strategy, if indeed there is one, seems odd to me. Last year red and blue..Did we really need/want these? ok we all bought them now 2024 sees these pricey US monos.Sorry BT im rambling on again. Hopefully 2025 sees Help and Rubber Soul box sets.

Not sure this one is for me. Mind you I guess a lot of people will like it. Never been that interested in US releases. Glad that something is coming out though.

[@beatleytonesbeatleschannel]

Ive never been that interested in the Us albums either Peter, which is why Ive gone for it this time - intrigue. But if they're not for you, I totally get that
