EXTD=W: The second installment of Capitol's long-awaited, ongoing series of re
EXTD=issues of the Beatles' American albums covers the four Fab Four albums Ca
EXTD=pitol released in 1965: The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help!, and Rubber 
EXTD=Soul. The first of these, The Early Beatles, was a quick roundup of all t
EXTD=he material from Please Please Me that hadn't been put on an American LP 
EXTD=and it appropriately plays like a truncated and jumbled version of their 
EXTD=debut; it's fun, but lacks the momentum and punch of their British debut.
EXTD= Beatles VI, whose very title suggests the ferocity of Beatlemania, since
EXTD= it's their sixth LP in just over a year, relies heavily on their fourth 
EXTD=British LP, Beatles for Sale, pulling six songs from that album ("Kansas 
EXTD=City," "Eight Days a Week," "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party," "Words of 
EXTD=Love," "What You're Doing," "Every Little Thing"), adding to the mix a co
EXTD=uple of new songs that would later show up on Help! ("You Like Me Too Muc
EXTD=h," "Tell Me What You See"), a pair of Larry Williams covers ("Bad Boy," 
EXTD="Dizzy Miss Lizzie"), and "Yes It Is," originally released as the B-side 
EXTD=to "Ticket to Ride." Since it's culled exclusively from late 1964 and ear
EXTD=ly 1965 material, the album winds up holding together better than some of
EXTD= the grab bags from 1964, and since the newer material is lighter than th
EXTD=e excised material from Beatles for Sale -- "I Don't Want to Spoil the Pa
EXTD=rty" may be weary, but without the gloomy opening triptych of "No Reply,"
EXTD= "I'm a Loser," and "Back in Black," the remaining songs from this album 
EXTD=don't quite feel as dark -- Beatles VI winds up as a pretty fun snapshot 
EXTD=of the waning days of the peak of Beatlesmania.\n\nHelp! and Rubber Soul 
EXTD=were the first U.S. LPs to bear the same titles (along with roughly the s
EXTD=ame artwork) of their U.K. counterparts, but they still had distinctly di
EXTD=fferent running orders than the albums released in Britain. The American 
EXTD=version of Help! is designed as a soundtrack to the film of the same name
EXTD=, containing selections from the movie's Ken Thorne-written score intersp
EXTD=ersed between the Beatles songs. Where the U.K. Help! had 14 tracks, incl
EXTD=uding music not heard in the film, the U.S. Help! is 12 tracks, with only
EXTD= seven songs from the group -- just the songs actually heard in the film.
EXTD= The result is a distinctly different listening experience, one that's ce
EXTD=rtainly not as satisfying as the U.K. LP, yet there is a certain charm to
EXTD= Thorne's exotica-tinged, swinging-'60s score, particularly to the James 
EXTD=Bondian fanfare that opens the album, that helps make the U.S. version of
EXTD= Help! a fun nostalgia trip. The American Rubber Soul is also different t
EXTD=han its British cousin, removing four songs from the U.K. version ("Drive
EXTD= My Car," "Nowhere Man," "What Goes On," "If I Needed Someone") and repla
EXTD=cing them with two tunes from the U.K. Help! ("I've Just Seen a Face" and
EXTD= "It's Only Love"). The new tunes open up each side of the record, but th
EXTD=e sequencing remains roughly the same as it is on the U.K. version, yet t
EXTD=he U.S. LP does wind up with a subtly different feel than its British cou
EXTD=nterpart; by opening with the folky "I've Just Seen a Face" and omitting 
EXTD=rockers and trebly pop songs, Rubber Soul winds up feeling like the Beatl
EXTD=es' reaction to America's folk-rock movement of 1965, which is a feel tha
EXTD=t some listeners prefer.\n\nAs on the first Capitol Albums box, each of t
EXTD=he four albums contains the original stereo and mono mixes for each LP (i
EXTD=nitial pressings contained incorrect mono mixes for The Early Beatles and
EXTD= Rubber Soul, which were folded down for the stereo mixes instead of the 
EXTD=original mono mixes, but this error was quickly corrected). Where several
EXTD= of the 1964 LPs on the first set were bathed in echo and were in fake st
EXTD=ereo, the four 1965 records -- with the exception of The Early Beatles, w
EXTD=hich has such an extreme hard pan on its fake stereo that it is a bit dif
EXTD=ficult to listen to on headphones -- were not dressed up in as much post-
EXTD=production studio trickery and the stereo sounds natural, so the mixes ar
EXTD=en't as disorienting as they were on, say, Second Album. There are some s
EXTD=ubtle differences between mixes -- and one not-so-subtle difference: the 
EXTD=stereo version of "I'm Looking Through You" begins with a false start -- 
EXTD=but most of these will only be noticeable only to the hardcore fans, who 
EXTD=are indeed the target for this set. And like last time out, they should b
EXTD=e pleased with this set, despite its flaws, chief among them the packagin
EXTD=g. Like Capitol Albums, Vol. 1, this set has an ugly front cover that mak
EXTD=es it seem like a Reader's Digest exclusive, the cardboard on the slipcas
EXTD=e as well as the individual mini-LP reproductions feels flimsy (and Help!
EXTD=, which was originally a gatefold, is not a gatefold here), and the set f
EXTD=eels like it could have been put together with more care. That said, ther
EXTD=e are some improvements this time around. The set has been issued as a (r
EXTD=oughly) CD-sized box, which is preferable to the longbox of the first set
EXTD=, and Bruce Spizer's notes do an excellent job detailing the histories of
EXTD= these American LPs. And, of course, the sound is much, much better than 
EXTD=the sound on the CDs for the regular albums, which are now nearly 20 year
EXTD=s out of date. That sound, along with the nostalgic joy of getting these 
EXTD=American incarnations on CD, is the main reason the hardcore fans will be
EXTD= more than happy to forgive this set its few flaws and simply enjoy the m
EXTD=any pleasures of this collectors-oriented set. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine

EXTD=ERS!!!!, April 11, 2006\nReviewer: Bertram christmas "bert" (Boston,MA.US
EXTD=A)\nThere was a production error on this sets 1st run. The original Capit
EXTD=ol Mono mixes were not used on Beatles VI and Rubber Soul. In error, Capi
EXTD=tol used folded down Monos from the original Capitol stereo mixes. This w
EXTD=as discovered by a DJ in Philadelphia, approximately five days before thi
EXTD=s sets street date of 4-11-'06. Capitol upon learning of their err, immed
EXTD=iately produced a corrected 2nd run, which also hit the stores on 4-11-06
EXTD='. I write this as of the same date. If you go into the stores today, cha
EXTD=nces are 50/50 if you will get the erronous or corrected edition. It's al
EXTD=l a matter of when the stores ordered their copies from their wholesaler 
EXTD=or EMD directly. Capitol will not be doing a recall on the incorrectly ma
EXTD=nufactured copies. Suppoesedly, they will be making an announcement as to
EXTD= how the faulty discs from the 1st run can be replaced via proof of purch
EXTD=ase. What Capitol pretty much did on the 1st run, was to create Mono mixe
EXTD=s which have never existed previously. So if you are a real die hard, you
EXTD= may just want to hold on to your 1st run set if you have one. For certai
EXTD=n, I'm sure it will become a very scarce collectors item!!!! All transfer
