I wrote a story Sunday about an auction that includes the stereo acetates for an unreleased 1964 compilation that was supposed to include both Capitol and VeeJay tracks. The album went as far as the acetate stage, but no farther because Capitol realized VeeJay still had the rights. (Why they didn't realize that at first is a mystery to me.) The story is here, but my initial information didn't have the track list for it. Bruce Spizer's "The Beatles on Capitol Records," however, did. In case you want to burn it, here's the track list: Side 1, “Twist and Shout,” “Love Me Do,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “From Me To You,” “This Boy,” “Roll Over Beethoven”; Side 2, “Do You Want to Know a Secret,” “Boys,” “Ask Me Why,” “She Loves You,” “You Really Got a Hold On Me,” “Long Tall Sally”; Side 3, “All My Loving,” “P.S. I Love You,” “Please Please Me,” “Chains,” “Devil In Her Heart,” “Please Mr. Postman”; Side 4, “Misery,” “Money,” “There's a Place,” “Baby It's You,” “It Won't Be Long,” “All I've Got to Do.” The story has a picture of the acetates and a lengthy quote from Bruce Spizer on it.

As much as I like "All I've Got To Do", not sure if I would end my deluxe double record set with it. Maybe, I'd switch it with "Money" which is a better side closer.
Also, I'm guessing this was compiled before Capitol released Something New(?). I wonder if any concept art exists for the cover.

I’m glad Capitol never released this set. Nothing from mid-1964 through to the end of the year is included. Even some of the Beatles’ notable early-mid 1964 songs are absent: I Saw Her Standing There, Can’t Buy Me Love. Not good enough.
On the other hand, I think a comprehensive set of all, or most, of the Beatles 1964 Billboard Top 100 singles appearances would be a great issue. It would fit on 2 LPs, or 1 CD. This could have been released in 2014 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles “conquest” of America. It would have complemented the U.S. Albums box well.
