US version of the album, which they handeled in pretty much the same way as the "Help" one https://monolover.blogspot.com/2021/06/the-beatleshelp-original-motion-picture.html - carrying the songs from the film together with a couple of instrumentals. In this case also adding a track - "I'll Cry Instead" - wich was meant for the film but didn't make it. The four instrumentals - "I Should Have Known Better", "And I Love Her", "A Hard Days Night" and "This Boy" (here renamed "Ringo's Theme") - was made by George Martin conducting a bunch of studio musicians. Apparently the stereo version has the the eight Beatles cuts as fakes while this mono is all true and it sounds just fine - big and bold. But even if the UK tracks that was rejected here did show up on later US releases I wouldn't call it "butchering". This was in fact issued before the UK and it is a soundtrack by the film company rather than regular Capitol, so it stands well on its own feets and probably a must in most true Beatles collections. Issued in US, Canada, Downunder and South America on vinyl through the years, also cassette, 4-track and 8-track. US 2014 CD on Apple (BOO 19700-02) came with both mono and (true?) stereo versions.
