Reviews Customer Reviews for The Capitol Albums Vol 2 Brick      The truth about Capitol versions      Rating:      Other reviews are ok to read. Some are BS though. What quality issues are brought up are from people who grew up in the age of the CD and should try listening to a 45 (single) or a 33 (album) sometime while eating your Big Mac, then type. And another thing - that complaint about the stereo version had a miscue and the mono didn't - was the way it was released in the US years ago. Get over it. Capitol execs know what's going on, the others at Capitol just stopped squeezing pimples a few years ago. NOW - it's Beatles 101 class for you youngin's - FYI - and so there's no misunderstanding, I'm 'Classic_Rocker' - the reviewer and editor from years past when online meant sitting at the teletype 100 miles away from 'the computer'. There isn't much more to release other than (some of) the US version instrumentals from A Hard Day's Night and Help! (and some of those can be found if you look hard enough at instrumental material available on CD) and a few strays. What's intersting is that few people actually understand that Capitol had The Beatles back in the studio to lay down new vocal tracks of many UK versions, but that didn't happen past 1965. AND even fewer people know that back when Tollie, Vee-Jay and Swan had the rights to release singles in the US (She Loves You, Love Me Do, etc), it was Capitol's rerecording of vocal tracks that created 4 versions of Love Me Do (and now we have those!) - the original (with sit-in drummer Andy White and Ringo playing with himself - off the UK album Past Masters), the secondary album version (with Ringo at the drums - off the UK album issue), then Capitol's two versions of mono and stereo with new vocals that we in the US are hearing for the first time on CD because they were US album only issued back then! Even Capitol screwed the US when the 'Red' album was issued on CD - the US Tollie version was reissued, not the Capitol version. What don't we have in stereo or reissued as a Capitol version to date (as a single or album only cut)? US Year 1963 - Misery. US Year 1964 - A Hard Day's Night, Can't Buy Me Love, I Should Have Known Better, There's A Place, Act Naturally, Day Tripper, Drive My Car, If I Needed Someone, I'm Down, Nowhere Man, We Can Work It Out, What Goes On. Yes, we have these songs but what I'm saying is - there are different versions originally issued in the US back then. So theres your missing album, not to mention the US issues of A Hard Day's Night and Help! And by the way, now we at least have the Help! version we grew up with (that begins with the chase music aka incidental music) that was also deleted from the 'Red" album reissue. And the next rocket scientist is about to say I'm missing something - what about the german versions of She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand. Yes, you're right, but who cares. And don't bring up the different versions of Across The Universe. Buy the Anthology CD sets and you're covered (Wildlife version, especially).     Customer Reviews for The Capitol Albums Vol 2 Brick Cd      It doesn't get any better!      Rating:      It's the Beatles....nuff said! it's the Beatles doing what they do best. Pop rock with every imaginable hook they could write. And nobody did it better. the original album cover sleeves make it even more fun and having each song available in stereo and mono versions is even cooler! Pick it up!
