Even if not all in with her vocals at the time this release is a must for me because of the George Martin production, the four Lennon/McCartney covers and the atmosphere. I would like a mono as most of the cuts were 45 only prior to this and you'd expect that to come with all the original mixes, but haven't found any such yet so this stereo will do for now. It brings both good and bad news. On the positive side - all cuts are true stereo, some may have been previously unissued picks from the EMI vaults while others were mixed by Martin especially for this. In any case most of them had their two-channel premiere here and that's worth something. On the negative side - at least this very first press copy (-1/-1 matrixes and 1/G 1/G mother-stamper) seems to suffer from adjustments problems with bass/treble and volume. The calmer tracks plays ok, while a couple of the powerful ones come out borderline too loud with so much treble they hurt my ears. It's a pity. The new mixes could have made it a very nice listening experience if treated right. Well maybe this very early copy just had growing pains and later pressings came through better. If anyone reading this knows - please comment and tell. Originally also issued in New Zealand (PCSM 7065) and Australia (PCSO-7065). UK 2002 CD (Parlophone 7243 5 41444 24) came with eleven bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (CÄLÄ*) (PÖX*)
