The Beatles’ Second Album and CDs

[@finch45lear]

You do such a great job with your channel. As a diehard Beatles fan and passionate CD bootleg collector since April of 1989, these presentations are not only informative but just plain fun. Thank you so much for the time and effort put into each video. I truly appreciate them.

[@pencilsharpener2477]

I lost track of how many versions/copies you have! It Is a GREAT album! Enjoyed your video.

[@johndunlap9848]

This was an excellent album that captures the excitement the group created.

[@ObjectSubjectSound]

Love your show and your vibe! Heard Roll Over Beethoven from this record in the second grade and it changed my brain! You’re like The Keeper at the Sacred Temple of The Beatles Second Album! Bless you Sir and thank you for your work!!

One of my favorites from the Beatles,

[@resident-z9m]

I have the Beatles’ Second Album featuring Can't Buy Me Love. But that one was made in Japan.

[@ronmartin4212]

I have both mono andstereo initial pressings with the peach color incorporated into the colorband and the lighter etching in the powder blue logo area.Both are Scrantons and dont have the timings on first two side two tracks.Both have the royal blue sleeves.They came initially with that sleeve and not the turquoise ones.The Capiphone project contains alot of the incarnation of the Second Album and is Hear Are The Beatles in the project

[@ronmartin4212]

I had the Parli export and had the juke boxer 33!!

[@resident-z9m]

Do you have this album on cassette?

[@thinkbeatles]

@@resident-z9m no I do not. I wished I did. I would’ve shown it if I had it thanks for checking out the video.

Call me weird, but I prefer the mono mix as opposed to the stereo. I was hoping that Capitol would release a double album, one featuring the stereo and the other being a mono mix. Both mixes were mixed on March 17, 964. The mono mix were made by Don Henderson and the stereo mix was made with dubbed by EQ and limiter plus echo. The Beatles Box that was released in Mexico (in 1981) has the stereo mix of "Thank You Girl" in stereo without the Echo and reverb.

[@thinkbeatles]

@@bigbadm1 thanks for sharing that information way cool

[@BigBri550]

I agree that the mono mixes of The Beatles output was generally far superior to the stereo mixes. However, The Beatles' Second Album is a rare exception. I love the liberties they took with it, too. They added "stereo simulation" to the mono tracks, and stereo reverb to the whole thing. That plus the album jacket makes the whole thing a kind of in-concert experience without the screaming girls drowning everything out. My second-favorite Beatles album of all time.

[@thinkbeatles]

@@bigbadm1 1981 box set not sure which one?

[@charlyW34]

Hi. I mean no disrespect, but I feel compelled to ask. Is your only goal to let people know that these particular editions exist (you are not claiming that you have all versions) and that you own them? That's cool I guess, but pretty limited. I thought you might offer an opinion or 2 as to which edition you feel has the best fidelity, maybe the best quality vinyl, etc. Of course, those all American pressings of an album constructed for the American market are known to have a lot of added reverb, and very often the "stereo" designation is actually re-channelled mono. For this and other reasons, after 1986 The Beatles and Apple insisted that only the natural U.K. editions of their albums would be sold worldwide. The final American cd editions, after the boxed sets, were actually sourced from the U.K. master tapes. Therefore the American consumer was only paying for the nostalgia of the track listings and artwork of the U.S. editions.

@@charlyW34 no I do not own all the copies from the different countries also have the same album which I did and then I’ll probably never happen is my collection complete no and I understand that people prefer the UK the originals. I understand that I’m just showing my collection that’s all there is to it really you know thanks

[@thinkbeatles]

@@charlyW34 I like your comment thanks for sharing that with me on my channel, though I really don’t do reviews and talk about the sound and stuff because I think it’s already been said and everything you know like I said in my videos I collect the different labels I would like to have different countries too, but you know too much money and I’m not young anymore thanks

[@LouisSpeciale-vp9sl]

I have the album but how much is it worth but I'm not selling.

[@thinkbeatles]

@@LouisSpeciale-vp9sl it depends on which one you’re talking about in condition. It could be worth one dollar or more varies a lot.

[@manny4552]

[@ronmartin4212]

The Capiphone project has Beethoven,Mr.Postman,She Loves You,Thank You Girl and,Ill Get You on" Its The Beatles",You Really Got AHold,Devil In Her Heart and Money on"Beatlemania",You Cant Do That,Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name on "Hear Are The Beatles"(Capitol imprint album titles,btw)All are UK based mixes,however,You Cant Do That and She Loves You's Dexter mixes are on the UA HDN soundtrack!!

@@thinkbeatles Once I get this 10th(since the late '70's,had a lot when I was a kid in the '60's,too) recollection tweaked a little more,I was planning to do just that,thanks for the suggestion!It'll be more instructional on what older and newe r fans should look for on initial pressings to ID them.US,UK,and Japanese,as well!!And what ever other country I end up finding other Beatle pieces from.Had practically every country represented,thanks to a buddy in North Jersey.All gone now,hence,now,a 10th collection amassed.Some things still needed to complete my Capitols and UK Parlis /Apples again.I need additional red Everclean Japan Odeons,too.

[@djchancla2451]

I don't keep mine in the original sleeve I put mine in mofi protective sleeves.

[@thinkbeatles]

@@djchancla2451 I slipped the poly sleeve into the original inner sleeve is what I do if it doesn’t fit then I just keep it on the outside, but I keep them all together. Thanks for sharing.

[@coreyjohnston4673]

Purple label all the way.

[@lionheartroar3104]

I hope to God they don't remix the early albums with AI. The red and blue albums were a MESS

[@thinkbeatles]

@@lionheartroar3104 yeah but I don’t think they’re going to do any more releases on the Beatles my personal opinion, of course but good to know we always have the originals👍

[@beatleman69]

That album is one of the better ones Capitol came up with.

[@michaelnyny]

I knew it was good when it was too loud for mom.
