EXTD=he material from Please Please Me that hadn't been put on an Amer

EXTD=ersion of their debut; it's fun, but lacks the momentum and punch
EXTD= of their British debut. Beatles VI, whose very title suggests th
EXTD=e ferocity of Beatlemania, since it's theirsixth LP in just over 
EXTD=a year, relies heavily on their fourth British LP, Beatles for Sa
EXTD=le, pulling six songs from that album ("Kansas City," "Eight Days
EXTD= a Week," "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party," "Words of Love," "Wh
EXTD=at You're Doing," "Every Little Thing"), adding to the mix a coup
EXTD=le of new songs that would later show up onHelp! ("You Like Me To
EXTD=o Much," "Tell Me What You See"), a pair of Larry Williams covers
EXTD= ("Bad Boy," "Dizzy Miss Lizzie"), and "Yes It Is," originally re
EXTD=leased as the B-side to "Ticket to Ride."Since it's culled exclus
EXTD=ively from late 1964 and early 1965 material, the album winds up

EXTD=napshot of the waning days of the peakof Beatlesmania.Help! and R
EXTD=ubber Soul were the first U.S. LPs to bear the same titles (along
EXTD= with roughly the same artwork) of their U.K. counterparts, but t
EXTD=hey still had distinctly different running orders than the albums
EXTD= released in Britain. The American version of Help! is designed a
EXTD=s a soundtrack to the film of thesame name, containing selections
EXTD= from the movie's Ken Thorne-written score interspersed between t
EXTD=he Beatles songs. Where the U.K.Help! had 14 tracks, including mu
EXTD=sic not heard in the film, theU.S. Help! is 12 tracks, with only 
EXTD=seven songs from the group --just the songs actually heard in the
EXTD= film. The result is a distinctly different listening experience,
EXTD= one that's certainly not assatisfying as the U.K. LP, yet there 
EXTD=is a certain charm to Thorne's exotica-tinged, swinging-'60s scor
EXTD=e, particularly to the JamesBondian fanfare that opens the album,
EXTD= that helps make the U.S. version of Help! a fun nostalgia trip. 
EXTD=The American Rubber Soul isalso different than its British cousin
EXTD=, removing four songs fromthe U.K. version ("Drive My Car," "Nowh
EXTD=ere Man," "What Goes On,""If I Needed Someone") and replacing the
EXTD=m with two tunes from the U.K. Help! ("I've Just Seen a Face" and
EXTD= "It's Only Love"). Thenew tunes open up each side of the record,
EXTD= but the sequencing remains roughly the same as it is on the U.K.
EXTD= version, yet the U.S.LP does wind up with a subtly different fee
EXTD=l than its British counterpart; by opening with the folky "I've J
EXTD=ust Seen a Face" and omitting rockers and trebly pop songs, Rubbe
EXTD=r Soul winds up feeling like the Beatles' reaction to America's f
EXTD=olk-rock movement of 1965, which is a feel that some listeners pr
EXTD=efer.As on the first Capitol Albums box, each of the four albums 
EXTD=contains the original stereo and mono mixes for each LP (initial 
EXTD=pressings contained incorrect mono mixes for The Early Beatles an
EXTD=d Rubber Soul, which were folded down for the stereo mixes instea
EXTD=d of the originalmono mixes, but this error was quickly corrected
EXTD=). Where severalof the 1964 LPs on the first set were bathed in e
EXTD=cho and were infake stereo, the four 1965 records -- with the exc
EXTD=eption of The Early Beatles, which has such an extreme hard pan o
EXTD=n its fake stereo that it is a bit difficult to listen to on head
EXTD=phones -- werenot dressed up in as much post-production studio tr
EXTD=ickery and thestereo sounds natural, so the mixes aren't as disor
EXTD=ienting as they were on, say, Second Album. There are some subtle
EXTD= differencesbetween mixes -- and one not-so-subtle difference: th
EXTD=e stereo version of "I'm Looking Through You" begins with a false
EXTD= start -- but most of these will only be noticeable only to the h
EXTD=ardcore fans, who are indeed the target for this set. And like la
EXTD=st time out,they should be pleased with this set, despite its fla
EXTD=ws, chief among them the packaging. Like Capitol Albums, Vol. 1, 
EXTD=this set has an ugly front cover that makes it seem like a Reader
EXTD='s Digest exclusive, the cardboard on the slipcase as well as the
EXTD= individualmini-LP reproductions feels flimsy (and Help!, which w
EXTD=as originally a gatefold, is not a gatefold here), and the set fe
EXTD=els like it could have been put together with more care. That sai
EXTD=d, there are some improvements this time around. The set has been
EXTD= issued asa (roughly) CD-sized box, which is preferable to the lo
EXTD=ngbox ofthe first set, and Bruce Spizer's notes do an excellent j
EXTD=ob detailing the histories of these American LPs. And, of course,
EXTD= the sound is much, much better than the sound on the CDs for the
EXTD= regularalbums, which are now nearly 20 years out of date. That s
EXTD=ound, along with the nostalgic joy of getting these American inca
EXTD=rnations on CD, is the main reason the hardcore fans will be more
EXTD= than happy to forgive this set its few flaws and simply enjoy th
EXTD=e manypleasures of this collectors-oriented set. -- Stephen Thoma

EXTD= MONO MASTERS!!!!, April 11, 2006Reviewer: Bertram christmas"bert
EXTD=" (Boston,MA.USA)There was a production error on this sets1st run
EXTD=. The original Capitol Mono mixes were not used on Beatles VI and
EXTD= Rubber Soul. In error, Capitol used folded down Monos from the o
EXTD=riginal Capitol stereo mixes. This was discovered by a DJin Phila
EXTD=delphia, approximately five days before this sets streetdate of 4
EXTD=-11-'06. Capitol upon learning of their err, immediately produced
EXTD= a corrected 2nd run, which also hit the stores on 4-11-06'. I wr
EXTD=ite this as of the same date. If you go into the storestoday, cha
EXTD=nces are 50/50 if you will get the erronous or corrected edition.
EXTD= It's all a matter of when the stores ordered their copies from t
EXTD=heir wholesaler or EMD directly. Capitol will not be doing a reca
EXTD=ll on the incorrectly manufactured copies. Suppoesedly, they will
EXTD= be making an announcement as to how the faulty discsfrom the 1st
EXTD= run can be replaced via proof of purchase. What Capitol pretty m
EXTD=uch did on the 1st run, was to create Mono mixes which have never
EXTD= existed previously. So if you are a real die hard, you may just 
EXTD=want to hold on to your 1st run set if you have one.For certain, 
EXTD=I'm sure it will become a very scarce collectors item!!!! All tra
