Hey...new here, but I've been a Beatles fan for a long while now.
Anyway...just wondering if it was worth it to get the Capitol Albums? How is the sound on them compared to Let It Be...Naked/The Beatles One? I pretty much depended on the Ebbett versions of the albums, but I don't own the American versions, and I'm figuring if these were remastered like Let It Be...Naked and One were, then the sound quality would make it worth my money.
Also, are the differences between mono and stereo interesting enough to justify buying these?
Peace and love.
Mark

They are what they are ... digital copies of the original Capitol albums. If you are old enough to remember them, they're great. If not, you may wonder what the fuss is about. The thing is the early ones are in (fake) stereo, which the first four British albums aren't. So that's a reason, if you're as big a fan of stereo as I am.
The stereo is fake echoey stereo, but it's still fun if you remember them. The running order was different and a couple of the songs ("I'm Looking Through You", for one), had differences from the British masters. Another reason to pick them up.

I love the Capitol albums and as Steve said I had them the first time they came out. Compared to the rather crappy sounding mono british CD's they are quite enjoyable. It looks like apple is never going to get it's act together and release the CD's with the remastered first generation tapes so I would get these no question.

I grew up on the Capitol albums. As time went on and I became a bigger fan, I then sought out the original British LPs to have "cleaner sound" and to obtain the albums as the Beatles intended...I was a happy camper.
HOWEVER -- these days I don't swoon for the UK releases anymore, and I actually prefer the U.S. Capitol series the way I grew up with them, reverb and all. I love the albums like MEET THE BEATLES, BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM, SOMETHING NEW, BEATLES 65, BEATLES VI, THE EARLY BEATLES, RUBBER SOUL ... these are good, solid albums, regardless that they're not what the Beatles intended. In some cases, the records are improvements. I think RUBBER SOUL is much better the Capitol way, axing "Drive My Car", "What Goes On" and "If I Needed Someone", and starting the record off with the more suitable "I've Just Seen A FAce" and adding the also very fitting "It's Only Love"!
Oh, and I may be alone here, but I love the original HELP! soundtrack, with the instrumentals and all.
THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM is a great rockin' LP -- my favorite album ever.

It's funny that one of the first things I did on the site was put up a poll about getting the Capitol albums released. The response was pretty amazing. I have no idea whether that had anything to do with these coming out, but it was funny nonetheless. And who DIDN'T buy them on bootleg before the legit release? I'm sure most of us did.

Oh, you should probably hunt them down rockstar as some of the stereo recordings are nice. But I must say that I found it very tedious to sit through the albums all the way through, meaning listening to an entire album in stereo and then hearing the same songs again in mono. I found the differences to be minor. I view these releases as a diversion from getting the British(thus real) album catalog released in a modern form. I think that Meet The Beatles is a brilliant collection but I sure didn't get teary eyed going through all the other albums that were assembled helter skelter by Capital Records even though I too grew up with these. I didn't totally appreciate AHDN, Help, Rubber Soul and especially Revolver until I heard the British versions. I bought the two Capitol "boxes" but I haven't played them beyond my first sitting with them. Besides, I am afraid those cheap cardboard covers will fall apart!

I grew up with the US versions as well... but since becoming familiar with the original UK versions, I find the reverb-drenched US mixes all but unlistenable. All that stuff was added without the consent (or even knowledge) of the Beatles and they were NOT pleased when they heard them.
With that said, the mastering on the Capitol box sets is good. There are a few interesting alternate mixes and some true stereo stuff that you can't (legitimately) get on CD elsewhere, although as Steve mentioned a lot of the early tracks use fake stereo instead. I do have these, but basically never play them.
I guess the bottom line is that unless there's an element of nostalgia that appeals to you, it becomes a question of whether you think pretty good sound on what are basically unapproved mixes is worth the price of the sets.

Does anyone know if there will be a Volume 3? When Volume 2 came out the word was that Volume 3 was definitely on the way, although no one would say exactly which albums it was going to contain. Given the long delay since then, I'm not really expecting it at this point. Then again, stranger things have happened, and this is a release that's apparently already been approved by all of the various Fab camps, so if other pickings start looking too slim it could still be resurrected. My personal view is that getting this stuff out on CD was a LOW priority behind things like LET IT BE and SHEA on DVD, a proper remaster of the core catalog, etc. However, I'm also of the opinion that since they started the project they should issue the final volume and finish it. It's stupid to have some of the US versions available and some that aren't. -Big K

I grew up with the Capital albums as well. THE BEATLES 2ND ALBUM was the first one I ever heard so it has a special place for me. My wife and I bought each other the Box Sets for Mother's and Father's Day this year. There isn't a great deal of difference in the mono and stereo in my opinion, to buy them simply for that reason. My favorite things about having the Capital albums is having the extra harmonica in "Thank You Girl". the James Bond opening to "Help" and the false start to "I'm Looking Through You". As to the actual Capital LP's: I think MEET THE BEATLES is superior to WITH THE BEATLES since it includes "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "I Saw Her Standing There", and "This Boy". THE BEATLES 2ND ALBUM makes for a good 2nd album. As another poster said, it is a bit more rocking, though with fewer originals. SOMETHING NEW can't stand up to A HARD DAYS NIGHT . It is a very short album, though still good. BEATLES 65 also falls a bit short of BEATLES FOR SALE, though the inclusion of "I Feel Fine" and "She's A Woman" on BEATLES 65 give it some unique value. THE EARLY BEATLES falls short of PLEASE PLEASE ME because it is missing "I Saw Her Standing There", "Misery", and "There's A Place". BEATLES VI is kind of a mix of stuff from a bunch of places. The big thing it did was elevate the fantastic single "Eight Days A Week" to prominence. This was one of the Beatles most pure radio singles and it is amazing that it wasn't released as a single in the UK. HELP is much better as a full LP (UK version) than as a soundtrack (US), though I do like the sitar stuff from the movie. RUBBER SOUL is a tough one to figure. I consider "I've Just Seen A Face" to be absolutely essential to RUBBER SOUL and I like having "It's Only Love" there too. On the other hand, I consider "Nowhere Man" and "If I Needed Someone" to be essential RUBBER SOUL tracks as well. "Drive My Car" is a great song, but I don't mind having it be elsewhere. "What Goes On" I could do without being anywhere. So overall I prefer a mix of the US and UK RUBBER SOUL (which I have in a burned CD). As to the songs that would be on a CAPITAL ALBUMS VOLUME 3: THE BEATLES STORY is a nice artifact. It was a two record set, but coud be a single CD (and I don't believe "Mono" and "Stereo" versions would be needed). YESTERDAY AND TODAY was a good way to include some songs left off US albums. If included on a VOLUME 3, it should have the "Butcher Cover". REVOLVER is one that is unquestionably better in the UK version. The US criminally butchered the album by taking off three key Lennon tracks ("I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing", and "Dr. Robert") while adding nothing. I feel fortunate that I first got this album in the UK version and fully appreciated what a great album it was on first listen. HEY JUDE was a good way to collect other stuff that wasn't on US albums, though I think it should have had more songs, especially "The Inner LIght". So is it worth it to have a VOLUME 3? I don't think it is essential, but it would be a good way to complete the US albums on CD.

All that stuff was added without the consent (or even knowledge) of the Beatles and they were NOT pleased when they heard them. I certainly felt the same way in my younger collecting days. but now I just cannot bear to hear stuff like SHE'S A WOMAN without the tough "reverb". And THANK YOU GIRL and I'LL GET YOU are much more potent with the reverb. MONEY is a powerhouse withthe U.S> version. Hell, most of the songs on THE BEATLES SECOND ALBUM are!

ISOMETHING NEW can't stand up to A HARD DAYS NIGHT . It is a very short album, though still good. And it includes KOMM GIB MIR DEINE HAND! Also, stuff like MATCHBOX and SLOW DOWN are just sooooo rockin'. And they are also not included on a proper UK album. That's a great thing about the US albums - that they've also got the hits on 'em! Oh, and BEATLES VI has BAD BOY on it. So do I. I am a movie fan so I love having HELP! as a movie soundtrack with the instrumentals. I know I am practically alone here, but I just cannot stomach side 2 of the UK HELP! album... it always feels like those songs don't belong with Side 1. Maybe that comes from when I was a kid. AMEN! They fit very well. Mmmm... I'd say IF I NEEDED SOMEONE fits the smokey mood, but NOWHERE MAN does not. Well said (cuz I agree). DRIVE MY CAR doesn't fit RUBBER SOUL. WHAT GOES ON is a deterrent. Definitely. And plus it was important to get WE CAN WORK IT OUT and DAY TRIPPER! It was smart of Capitol to sell it on the allure of the song "YESTERDAY" as well. I have to disagree with JSD when he says there's no thought to the Capitol albums and that the songs are done "helter skelter". This may be sacrilige, but Capitol had better sequencing sense than The Beatles. No disagreement there.

O.K. Here's one that may open up the debate. What about "creating" a newly-mastered Beatle catalogue in chronological order? Document the actual History of their recorded works as a fresh new package. All of the songs laid down in (as closely as is possible) the order in which they were completed, or as some might prefer, in the order in which they were basically presented in the studio for later polishing. Even obsessives like us would gain a bit of new perspective on the amazing leaps and bounds they made from session to session, and this would also allow for the singles, E.P's and L.P's to co-exist together in a logical format. SFF & PL WOULD in essence become part of the flow with Sgt. Pepper...some "out-take" gems would also be included in their proper setting (i.e. That means A Lot, Come & Get It etc.) We all have the "complete" catalogue anyway, and this might prove to be a unique and fresh way to explore it. I'm sure someone on this board has already done something similar with their I-Pod or whatever...how did it turn out?

I think examining the music in that manner can be quite rewarding... but if they tried to issue that as a new 'official' catalog, I'd howl with outrage and then go barf! IMO the correct way to issue the album is in the order and format that the group intended. If I could make the decisions for a Beatles catalog upgrade, I'd go with the original UK titles, remastered using nothing but the original mixes of everything. Each disc up through MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (and also YELLOW SUBMARINE) would contain the mono and stereo versions of the album. (And yes, MMT would be the LP configuration, since that was basically adopted as the standard version even in the UK by the 70's.) The albums too long to include both versions on a single disc would be in stereo only, with the mono versions available directly from Apple along the lines of Rhino Handmade products. One exception that could be justified to the 'original mixes' rule could be in instances where a stereo album used a fake stereo track. If a true stereo version existed, that would be the one to include. I'd also keep the PAST MASTERS titles to hold the stray singles and EP tracks. All CDs would have improved booklets with all relevant art from the original albums, period-appropriate photos and extensive liner notes, along the lines of the Beach Boys two-fer discs. Small reproductions of posters and such from original albums would also be included. Finally, I'd slip some of the anomalies from different parts of the world onto the red and blue collections. The 'hi-hat' intro to ALL MY LOVING, the 'James Bond' intro to HELP! and such are close enough to not throw off casual fans who just wanted a 'hits' collection, but would help to justify the cost of those sets to completists. BBC, ANTHOLOGY, YS SONGTRACK, LIBN and LOVE are all fine as they are and I wouldn't change them. The Capitol titles would remain as boxed sets, including a third volume to finish the collection for those who want them. While the above wouldn't make everyone happy, it would be an improvement over what we've got and would at least reflect a logical approach to the releases, putting it ahead of, say, the needlessly cluttered Rolling Stones catalog. -Big K

Cosmos idea is also really cool but how would that be done..as an ultimate(and super expensive box set)..or breaking the Music into Years/Eras(or both which seems to be the Norm nowadays)? Interesting idea to say the least.

Consider that Yesterday and Today included songs from sessions spanning Help through Revolver. The Beatles "sequencing" LPs based on the output of their current sessions, for the most part. If you consider the moment, it's hard to argue with their choices. I'm sure we could (and many have) sequenced some rather impressive Beatle collections ourselves. And we're better than Capitol because we have more time.

But I'm talking specifically about the sequencing of the songs for each album.
Capitol probably had to use whatever songs they could get at the time, which may be why THE EARLY BEATLES came later, and bore such a title.

Even if you're talking about specific albums, that can't be separated from the fact that Capitol was dealing with a different set of songs than the Beatles. I don't think I can fault George Martin (I think he was often responsible for sequencing) for his choices -- overall.
Didn't the Early Beatles come later because of the VeeJay commitment?

I too, grew up with the Capitol mixes in the '60's. Mixes totally different from the mono counterparts, and the "goofy" wide stereo was in some ways a nice learning tool. I'm glad they came out. Now....if they could get out MONO copies of Sgt. Pepper, Revolver and the White Album.....

Cosmos idea is also really cool but how would that be done..as an ultimate(and super expensive box set)..or breaking the Music into Years/Eras(or both which seems to be the Norm nowadays)? Interesting idea to say the least. I'm in favor of the standard release of each album being kept to a single disc for price reasons. (If you want new fans to buy the stuff, they should be priced attractively.) With the mono/stereo configuration, only the early albums would have room for bonus tracks, and I'd prefer not to have a lot of extras on the early albums that the later ones didn't get. If there was room for bonus tracks, I'd rather see interesting alternates, live takes or whatever instead of just sticking the singles on the end. That's why I'd keep Past Masters. It's also high time that EMI got real and bought permanent rights to the Decca tape, Tony Sheridan material, Star Club tape, etc. They should then put together one disc with a correctly mastered (and, as much as possible, correctly sequenced) Live In Hamburg album and a second disc with the Decca tape, Sheridan material and THAT'LL BE THE DAY / IN SPITE OF ALL THE DANGER. Detailed liner notes in each explaining what they are should be there as well. My feeling is that these are a part of Beatles history, they're not going to go away, so it would be better to make a 'best available' official version of them and be done with it. Oh, and I'd put the HOLLYWOOD BOWL out on CD as well, for the sake of completeness. I'd lean toward including both shows complete to give it a better running time, but am not adamant about it. Not that this stuff is ever likely to happen, of course. -Big K

Back in the very early '80s, before CD's became the norm, I replaced all of my original Beatle LP's with new pressings of the U.S.A. versions Today, they're almost pristine as they didn't get all that much playing time or the abuse of the '60s. ;D When the CD's of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 came out I didn't feel the need to pick them up, especially when I heard the packaging was very shoddy. Eventually, if they release them individually I might pick them up. But that's not high on my list of things to get.
