Beatles The Early Beatles

Description

180-Gram Black Vinyl LP Reissue

Capitol released The Early Beatles on March 22, 1965. The albums 11 tracks were first released in the U.S. by Vee-Jay Records, starting in February 1963 with the Please Please Me/Ask Me Why single, with the rest issued in January 1964 on Vee-Jays Introducing The Beatles album. Vee-Jay also released three songs from that album as hitmaking U.S. singles in early 1964 (Twist And Shout, Do You Want To Know A Secret and Love Me Do). Capitols exclusive American release rights for the tracks took effect in October 1964 upon settlement with Vee-Jay, and The Early Beatles collected them for their Capitol debut.

Using the original 1964 mono master, new all-analog lacquers were cut by Kevin Reeves at Nashvilles East Iris Studios. By constantly referring to the original first pressing, the album is faithful to the original release, while also enabling more musical information to be heard than was possible before. Featuring faithfully replicated artwork and a new four-panel insert with an essay by American Beatles historian, Bruce Spizer.
