It's popular to debate the merits of the Capitol albums and the comments section here is no exception. While I agree the UK albums are superior in every respect, I think one should still enjoy their Capitol albums if they own them. It's best to just relax and not get too fussed. On the occasions I play them, I find that I quickly stop worrying about the altered sound and just enjoy the music for what it is. The Beatles created songs that transcend whatever format you listen on. The Capitol albums are a good slice of nostalgia and represent the way that millions of teenagers fell in love with the Beatles. They are a nice snapshot of history. I'm also a big fan of the Capitol singles with their picture sleeves. Whenever I spin the orange/yellow swirl label 45s, I'm nine years old again.

"The Early Beatles" record is a Scranton pressing with just a different (later) symbol (anvil). This replaced the I AM triangle. Looks like some mismatching as far as inner sleeve, record, and jacket with some of the first albums you showed... Jacksonville cover, Scranton record, etc. The hole in "Beatles VI" is most likely an after-release promo copy. That is a basic retail copy that was made into promo with a simple hole punch. (U.S. pre-release promos, usually had label identifiers, stamps, white labels, etc.) I just have to say, too, that this channel is quickly becoming one of my top 5. The presentation and content are remarkable. Keep up the great work!

I always avoided the US pressings like the plague. Didn't regard them as being official canon, so to speak, and many were a pale shadow of their UK counterpart. However, since getting more into collecting Beatles vinyl, I found I couldn't ignore the Capitol releases any longer. And actually, some are rather good, especially Meet the Beatles, Rubber Soul and, of course, Magical Mystery Tour. So much so that my most recent video was all about the US Capitol albums! I guess I finally saw the light...or joined the dark side, depending which way you look at it.

I understand the sentiment, but especially with the early albums being more “collections of songs not good enough to be singles” have always been decent assortments of the early songs. Especially since they were more likely to have a couple of singles on the discs. It’s really Rubber Soul on for me where it’s no question the UK albums have the “proper” track listing imo. I certainly don’t go out of my way to listen to anything but the uk monos (and analog stereo Abbey Road), but I never disliked listening to any early capitol record (aside from missing I Saw Her Standing There on the early capitol slate). All speaking from a track listing perspective as opposed to audio quality.. My favorite record is probably Revolver and the Capitol version legitimately upsets me. It takes the most interesting experimentation out and with Paul’s more standard pop fare of the time dominates instead of balances.. all amazing songs but such a “small” exclusion of a couple tracks really changes the dynamics of a piece of art. Respect to anyone else’s opinions this is just what I thought about based on your comment about opening up to the US catalog. Ultimately, seeing the growth of the Beatles and their statements through their art as they worked through the years are “best” observed with the now standardized “cannon”. But, it’s all in good fun in the end.

@mjanovec3 жыл бұрын
The hole punch can mean it's a closeout or it can mean it's a promo. Either way, the idea is to keep them from being returned to stores for attempted refunds. In this case, I lean towards this record being a promo, simply because very few core catalog Beatles records ended up in the closeout bin. (The Tony Sheridan stuff could be seen in the closeout bin, once fans caught on to those recordings.) The core catalog sold good enough over the years that no distributors or stores were stuck with their copies for very long. Capitol and EMI were regularly re-pressing the Beatles albums over the decades to keep up with the demand. And while the demand dipped a bit from time-to-time, it never went away.

I always found that there was something lacking in the US capitol sleeves. They just seem dull when compared to the UK sleeves. But that didn't stop me from getting them. Since I'm from Canada I always jumped on getting Beatles LPs. I did stumble on a Meet the Beatles LP in the early 90s in Victoria, British Columbia with a hole in the top corner (it had a Purple capitol label). The sleeve itself was crisp and in good condition. So I played it and it sounded the way it sounded, but then I got to George Harrison's Don't Bother Me Track. And I noticed that he sings an extra "don't" right before he sings "don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me". I thought the album skipped so I played it again to make sure and sure enough he sings an extra "don't" before he sings the rest of the lyrics. I never discovered why this happened. The US Meet the Beatles doesn't have this extra "don't".

The US mono albums of Meet The Beatles (with the exception of "I Want To Hold Your Hand and This Boy" which are true mono), The Early Beatles and Help! (exception "Ticket To Ride" true mono) are all fold downs of the stereo mixes. These are not the true mono mixes.

That’s why Capitol was using Duophonic as reprocessed stereo. You don’t see Duophonic name on any Beatles US releases like “Meet the Beatles”, “Second Album”, “Something New”, “Beatles ‘65”, “Beatles VI”, and “Magical Mystery Tour”.

@@Musicradio77Network The reason you don’t see Duophonic on The Beatles Capitol stereo albums is because most of the tracks were in true stereo. Capitol only used reprocessed stereo on 17 tracks throughout their catalogue. (2 Meet The Beatles, 3 The Beatles' Second Album, 2 Beatles '65, 2 The Early Beatles, 1 Beatles VI, 1 Help!, 3 Yesterday and Today and 3 on Magical Mystery Tour. Something New was the 1st Capitol album where all the tracks were in true stereo.

Growing up with these "collections ", I have collected them all, but would never play them now, after getting my real Beatle albums from the UK in 1970. Terrible sound and absurd track listings. Bruce Spizer's fine books are the definitive source for info on U.S. Beatles records

Those heavy plastic PVC clear outer jacket sleeves are known to outgas and transfer a 'fog' to the vinyl, best not to keep the vinyl near those. You can google search the problem with them.

Yes, do brush up. There is no state of Columbia in the US. Scranton is in Pennsylvania. I heard you say it correctly later, but you have a graphic title that says Scranton, Columbia.

Columbia is capitol city of South Carolina. And true no "Columbia," state.

Columbia refers to the record company to which pressings were contracted out to.

I saw that on the screen and KNEW someone would make such a comment. I had top scroll all the way down, but I found it. lol (I guess it wasn't noticed that the "state" of Los Angeles or Jacksonville wasn't mentioned)

@@Parlogram I saw that, did the double-take, but then realized you must be referring to the company contracted to do the pressing since there IS a Columbia records. I've seen you refer in previous videos to instances where other record companies were often contracted to help press Beatles records due to the high volume (e.g., Decca in the UK). Some of us are paying attention... 😉

On Introducing the Beatles always look for George’s shadow. Most bootlegs don’t have the shadow, the other issue with Vee Jay is the color band on labels. Bootlegs color on labels look terrible, not much smooth color gratings … I’m a Yank . Every Capitol pressing with the exception of Meet The Beatles sound terrible . Capitol translated in any other language means “ greed “ …

Yes, I grew up listening to Capitol pressings. It was a shock when I picked up the BC13 and could hear the clarity of the recordings for the first time. I then picked up a German copy of MMT - it was like what Dorothy felt when she stepped into technicolor in Wizard of Oz - I was totally blown away. What a waste of time it is to collect Capital releases...

Hello I Don't know if you are awhere of how hard you handle you're LP,s your thumb pressure is very bad and you need to use your box cutter at an 90 Degree angle so not to possibility cut into a LP. I know you are trying to film fast ,but man when l see a perfect 45 year insert piece of paper bent it just hurts to see. I don't mean to be a hater. I have just seen so many razer cuts on items at stores. Thank you very much for your show it is Great.

The trouble with American albums is they suffer badly from ring wear, unlike the U.K
