Music reviews of The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 (Longbox)

Music Review: classic
Rating: 5 Stars

Discuss Beatle albums with a generalist, one of everyone who got these albums in the 1960s, and the tend to devide Beatle music into two parts, early and late, the love songs, and the psychdelic stuff.

True music heads know better, and the truth is even more glorious. From Please Please Me to Let It Be, each album was at least two steps, if not a leap, forward.

This box catches the fabs in their mid period, and there is a stark differance, even between 1964 and 1965. It is great that The Early Beatles is incuded here, because it puts this steriod evolution in the starkest of terms.

Listen to that, then to the rest. Help, for example, is an intensly personal piece Lennon wrote, talking about the emptiness he felt in 1965--rich and famous, now what.

Rubber Soul is the bridge between early and late Beatles. It is the Beatles on Dylan, a folk rock materpiece. The lyrics are extremely introspective, and have a self-referenceal depth unheard of in 1965 rock. Already, the Beatles are using a sitar.

This 1965 work, with its accustic guitars and clean sounds, probably works better in mono, and for that, you need the UK versions of these landmark albums. This music is not as peppy as, say, "She Loves You," so is not as well severed by the booming eccho Capital put on US stereo mixes.

But for Yanks who want the albums they bought so long ago, here is 1965, all in one neat little digital box

Who would have thought?

Description of The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 (Longbox)

THE BEATLES "THE CAPITOL ALBUMS VOL. 2" includes the four albums released by Capitol Records in 1965: The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) & the American version of Rubber Soul. All tracks have been digitally remastered and are presented in both Stereo and Mono. Many tracks appear in stereo for the very first time on CD. Special packaging includes original album cover artwork and a 60-page collector's booklet with rare photos.
Unless your name is Ryan Adams, you're probably not in the habit of releasing four albums in four years, let alone the same number in one. But that's exactly what the Beatles did in 1965, thanks to Capitol Records' practice of mixing and matching tracks from their U.K. releases to create new, shorter records for the American market. Because standard-issue Beatles discs follow the British discography, The Capitol Albums, Vol. 2 marks the first CD appearance of The Early Beatles (March), Beatles VI (June), the Help! soundtrack (August), and the U.S. version of Rubber Soul (December), which are presented in both mono and stereo. And since the Brits' Please Please Me and Beatles for Sale are available only in mono, that means a lot of tracks are making their stereo CD debut here, including "Please Please Me," "Twist and Shout," "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey," "What You're Doing," and "Every Little Thing." This is also the first CD appearance of Ken Thorne's incidental music from Help! (James Bond intro, anyone?), as well as of the original wide-separation stereo mixes of Help! and Rubber Soul (not the 1987 George Martin digital remixes that appear on the British discs). All told, a full 82 of this set's 92 tracks have never before been available on CD. It's not quite the sonic revelation that was Vol. 1 (that box contained 32 stereo CD debuts, this one only 14), but it's a great listen nevertheless. Also included is a colorful, 60-page booklet featuring rare photos and liner notes by Beatles historian Bruce Spizer. --Benjamin Lukoff
