Word is just out that Capitol Records is re-releasing the first 4 Beatles albums in their American versions, in a box set. This is volume 1 of a planned series of reissues.There will be mono & stereo versions of each album on each disc. No word if the box set will be regular 16/44.1 CD or SACD / DVD Audio. Sleeves within the box will be copies of the original sleeve art.
Included are "Meet The Beatles", "The Beatles Second Album", "Something New" & "Beatles 65". The songs released will be the versions with added reverb intended to make the songs more "American sounmding".
I always thought that the Beatles catalog was ready for remastering. I just hoped they would do it right. It appears that perhaps we are getting it only half correct. I wish that Capitol had rereleased the British LPs. I guess this is better than nothing. .

Agreed
Indeed,
Considering their position in (music) history, you'd think the Beatles should get more and better attention, especially with regards to how these rerelease things go.
