The Early Beatles The U.S. Album

Contains most of the Beatles first album (British version) minus the great "I Saw Her Standing There" and "There's a Place." The songs were originally parsed out to various labels but once Capitol signed the band they took possession of the songs and released them in the USA. It's only value is it presents the songs in both their mono and stereo versions and the mono version is terrific. The sound is "In the room" impactful, you feel on some songs you can almost reach out and touch one of the band. Since the stereo versions are also on the album, you can do an A/B comparison and hear why Beatles veterans insist it's the mono mix to go with on their early albums up through Sgt. Ppper.

It was a gift for my Grandsughter, and she was thrilled with it! 😊

All time Original Beatles songs and sounds! I. E. . Not rerecorded.

Nice to have both the Mono and stereo tracks all on one disc. Good value. The sound quality of the Mono and the stereo tracks is excellent. My favorite tracks are Love Me Do, Twist and Shout and Please Please Me. This is the US Capitol Records version with some of the same songs as the first UK Beatles album Please Please Me. The stereo tracks are true stereo unlike the original Capitol LP which had fake stereo. My understanding is that the Mono tracks are true Mono unlike the original Mono LP that had fold down Mono taken from the stereo recordings.

delivered as advertised.

I am the biggest Elvis fan ever but i also grew up during the invasion of the Beatles They were different and what made them that way was their underrated musical talent, their smooth pitched blended vocals and their unique songwriting skills. I got this album as a child and loved the one song "Anna" so much it became one of my favorites. I ordered this CD for sentimental reasons and man they still sound the same awesome impact-full way today! Like Elvis, the Beatles were originals formed by their influences and blended into their own. Originality is what stands the test of time and the two most original still do. Elvis and The Beatles. After all these years The King and his Court!

So Happy to have received this Classic!Perfect Condition!!

My wife is a Beatles fan so I wanted to get her a cd with their old songs. Couldn't find Meet the Beatles so this was a very good replacement.
