The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 [Box] by Beatles (The) (CD, Apr-2006, 4 Discs, Capitol/EMI Records)

This second edition of The Beatles's Capitol catalog is very important to anyone that is a Beatles fan , yes , we've seen those songs before on other compilations and in the Parlophone releases (mono)but aside that they are presented here in stereo ,the Capitol catalog was remixed differently from the beginning,so in order to have all different versions of the songs,you need to have the mono versions(Parlophone & Capitol) and the stereo versions (Parlophone & Capitol)and this apply to all records up to Sgt. Peppers... and on The White Album (the mono and stereo versions)and Magical Mystery Tour also.
I hope that they also release the singles and other less popular records as "The Beatles Story" that it is part of the collection.
So don't wait and treat yourself to a trip to memory lane.

Love it, but I was pre-sold....loved these albums already and wanted them on CD. Nice booklet enclosed with discography info., too.

This is the first issue of this set, with the false start on "I'm Looking Through You" and the wrong mixes of stereo and mono on some of the songs. There have been new releases of this set from Capitol with the correct versions of the songs mix's in stereo and mono. I am happy with the first issue that I purchased. If you love The Beatles, this is a good collection to have. You can't go wrong buying anything that was recorded by one of the greatest pop/rock bands ever, The Beatles.

Being an avid Beatles' fan since their arrival in the USA in 1964 and performing on The Ed Sullivan Show that same year, this was a well awaited compilation for me, purchasing re-mastered copies of their entire album collection, this compilation being a much anticipated set after purchasing Volume 1 last year. Having both the mono and stereo versions of their songs in one set is a real treat, having only mono versions with my first (LP)collection, moving up to stereo, and now, having them ALL REMASTERED! How awesome is that?!

This collection is a must for you die-hard Beatles fans!

This is a great set, and an absolute MUST HAVE for any Beatles fan - it would make a great gift! This set follows the Fall 2004 release of "The Capitol Years Vol. 1" and marks the first time in history that the Beatles' US record releases have been officially issued on CD! This is important if you enjoyed the instrumental tracks on the US "Help" album (I didn't, but hey... now I have them!) Those of you who grew up on the Beatles, or those fans who have kept the Beatles alive through the lost medium of record albums will be delighted with the mini-album covers inside the set, and the "Rainbow Label" CD art on the inside.

As for the music - well, it speaks for itself! Each CD comes with 24 tracks in the original order of the US releases, featuring both mono and stereo versions of each and every song. If you already have all of the CD's (as I do), it is well worth buying this remastered set, as many of the tracks have some notable clarity improvement.

Collectors might be interested to know that this set is issued in two different editions - one being a smaller CD box set, and the other featured in a long box with a special sticker on the front of the album. The long box editions are available only in limited quantities via wholesale clubs across the US.

What can one say about The Beatles? This is a wonderful collection of early albums featuring both stereo and mono mixes of the albums. It is nice to be able to listen to all of these cd's in stereo and it sounds great. The only complaint I have about this collection is that the packaging is terrible and easily damaged. While I like how each cd comes in its "original" vinyl sleeve the box itself is cheaply put together. I still recommend it just so you can have a nice complete Beatles collection. Just be careful with it.

FINALLY, the American releases on CD, the missing instrumentals, and the complete version of "Help!", is the reason why I got this set, but also the Stereo vs Mono recordings is just icing on the cake. Mopheads unite !!! Beatles fan this set is a MUST for your collection to compliment Volume 1 of the set.

WHEN I SAW THAT THE SELLER HAD THIS I TOOK A LOOK AT IT & DECIED TO GET IT. IT WAS A REAL GOOD PRICE. IT HAS ALL THE BEATLES CAPITOL ALBUMS ON IT. IT SOUND'S GOOD. I DO LIKE THE BEATLES.

beatle lovers dream........................................................................................................................................

These are the CD's of the Beatles albums that we all knew and loved in the 60's. Fantastic music, and re-creating the album covers for the CD's is great!

Great classic old Beatles! Just love it. Takes you back in time when the songs had catchy tunes and lyrics about young love. A must buy for any Beatles fan!

This purchase had a great price and I received it within the time frame that I was promised. Merchandise arrived in good condition.

CASE SIMPLE... I PAID FOR WHAT I ASKED FOR... I DIDNT WANT TO SHELL OUT A LOT MORE MONEY BUYING IT FROM A STORE SO I ALWAYS GO TO EBAY
