The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 - Disc 1 of 4 : The Early Beatles2006Ca pitol Records, Inc.This compilation originally released April 11, 2006''The Early Beatles'' USA-configured LP originally released March 22,''Beatles VI'' USA-configured LPoriginally released June 14,''Help!'' USA-configured LP originally released Aug ust 13,''Rubber Soul'' USA-configured LP originally released December 6,AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The second installment of Cap itol's long-awaited, ongoing series of reissues of the Beatles' A merican albums covers the four Fab Four albums Capitol released i n: The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help!, and Rubber Soul. Th e first of these, The Early Beatles, was a quick roundup of all t he material from Please Please Me that hadn't been put on an Amer ican LP and it appropriately plays like a truncated and jumbled v ersion of their debut; it's fun, but lacks the momentum and punch of their British debut. Beatles VI, whose very title suggests th e ferocity of Beatlemania, since it's theirsixth LP in just over a year, relies heavily on their fourth British LP, Beatles for Sa le, pulling six songs from that album ("Kansas City," "Eight Days a Week," "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party," "Words of Love," "Wh at You're Doing," "Every Little Thing"), adding to the mix a coup le of new songs that would later show up onHelp! ("You Like Me To o Much," "Tell Me What You See"), a pair of Larry Williams covers ("Bad Boy," "Dizzy Miss Lizzie"), and "Yes It Is," originally re leased as the B-side to "Ticket to Ride."Since it's culled exclus ively from late 1964 and early material, the album winds up holding together better than some of thegrab bags from 1964, and since the newer material is lighter thanthe excised material from Beatles for Sale -- "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" may be wea ry, but without the gloomy opening triptych of "No Reply," "I'm a Loser," and "Back in Black," the remaining songs from this album don't quite feel as dark -- Beatles VIwinds up as a pretty fun s napshot of the waning days of the peakof Beatlesmania.Help! and R ubber Soul were the first U.S. LPs to bear the same titles (along with roughly the same artwork) of their U.K. counterparts, but t hey still had distinctly different running orders than the albums released in Britain. The American version of Help! is designed a s a soundtrack to the film of thesame name, containing selections from the movie's Ken Thorne-written score interspersed between t he Beatles songs. Where the U.K.Help! had 14 tracks, including mu sic not heard in the film, theU.S. Help! is 12 tracks, with only seven songs from the group --just the songs actually heard in the film. The result is a distinctly different listening experience, one that's certainly not assatisfying as the U.K. LP, yet there is a certain charm to Thorne's exotica-tinged, swinging-'60s scor e, particularly to the JamesBondian fanfare that opens the album, that helps make the U.S. version of Help! a fun nostalgia trip. The American Rubber Soul isalso different than its British cousin , removing four songs fromthe U.K. version ("Drive My Car," "Nowh ere Man," "What Goes On,""If I Needed Someone") and replacing the m with two tunes from the U.K. Help! ("I've Just Seen a Face" and "It's Only Love"). Thenew tunes open up each side of the record, but the sequencing remains roughly the same as it is on the U.K. version, yet the U.S.LP does wind up with a subtly different fee l than its British counterpart; by opening with the folky "I've J ust Seen a Face" and omitting rockers and trebly pop songs, Rubbe r Soul winds up feeling like the Beatles' reaction to America's f olk-rock movement of, which is a feel that some listeners pr efer.As on the first Capitol Albums box, each of the four albums contains the original stereo and mono mixes for each LP (initial pressings contained incorrect mono mixes for The Early Beatles an d Rubber Soul, which were folded down for the stereo mixes instea d of the originalmono mixes, but this error was quickly corrected ). Where severalof the 1964 LPs on the first set were bathed in e cho and were infake stereo, the four records -- with the exc eption of The Early Beatles, which has such an extreme hard pan o n its fake stereo that it is a bit difficult to listen to on head phones -- werenot dressed up in as much post-production studio tr ickery and thestereo sounds natural, so the mixes aren't as disor ienting as they were on, say, Second Album. There are some subtle differencesbetween mixes -- and one not-so-subtle difference: th e stereo version of "I'm Looking Through You" begins with a false start -- but most of these will only be noticeable only to the h ardcore fans, who are indeed the target for this set. And like la st time out,they should be pleased with this set, despite its fla ws, chief among them the packaging. Like Capitol Albums, Vol. 1, this set has an ugly front cover that makes it seem like a Reader 's Digest exclusive, the cardboard on the slipcase as well as the individualmini-LP reproductions feels flimsy (and Help!, which w as originally a gatefold, is not a gatefold here), and the set fe els like it could have been put together with more care. That sai d, there are some improvements this time around. The set has been issued asa (roughly) CD-sized box, which is preferable to the lo ngbox ofthe first set, and Bruce Spizer's notes do an excellent j ob detailing the histories of these American LPs. And, of course, the sound is much, much better than the sound on the CDs for the regularalbums, which are now nearly 20 years out of date. That s ound, along with the nostalgic joy of getting these American inca rnations on CD, is the main reason the hardcore fans will be more than happy to forgive this set its few flaws and simply enjoy th e manypleasures of this collectors-oriented set. -- Stephen Thoma s Erlewine AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW1ST RUN HAS WRONG VI + SOUL MONO MASTERS!!!!, April 11, 2006Reviewer: Bertram christmas"bert " (Boston,MA.USA)There was a production error on this sets1st run . The original Capitol Mono mixes were not used on Beatles VI and Rubber Soul. In error, Capitol used folded down Monos from the o riginal Capitol stereo mixes. This was discovered by a DJin Phila delphia, approximately five days before this sets streetdate of 4 -11-'06. Capitol upon learning of their err, immediately produced a corrected 2nd run, which also hit the stores on 4-11-06'. I wr ite this as of the same date. If you go into the storestoday, cha nces are 50/50 if you will get the erronous or corrected edition. It's all a matter of when the stores ordered their copies from t heir wholesaler or EMD directly. Capitol will not be doing a reca ll on the incorrectly manufactured copies. Suppoesedly, they will be making an announcement as to how the faulty discsfrom the 1st run can be replaced via proof of purchase. What Capitol pretty m uch did on the 1st run, was to create Mono mixes which have never existed previously. So if you are a real die hard, you may just want to hold on to your 1st run set if you have one.For certain, I'm sure it will become a very scarce collectors item!!!! All tra nsfers, Both Mono and Stereo, and both corrected anduncorrected M onos SOUND GREAT!!!!!! Bertram F. Christmas
