A kind of follow-up to the 1976 "Rock'n'Roll Music" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-beatlesrocknroll-music-pcsp-719-76.html . It has been scolded by some as a greedy cash-in project, but to me it's a lot more than that. Any authentic Beatles issue has a value and even if all cuts on this were previously released the new set-up still gives them a slightly new aura. You can always argue about track choices on a compilation, but these are quite allright with me. Only objection would be they are too few. There would have been possible to add at least three of four more without influencing the audio quality. Anyway it's a truly stunning collection of songs. "P.S. I Love You", "Yes It Is" and "This Boy" are fake stereo and the rest true, but they all sound great, so a tophole compilation it is. I guess most collectors are after either getting it on Parlophone or enjoying the more lavish US package, or maybe both. This Swedish 1st press is nice hybrid as it came on Parlophone in an imported US encase...so in a way you get two birds with one stone. And since it is commonly priced way below US or UK originals it's also my obvious choice. Issued and reissued all over the world through the years on all possible formats. Premiere US on Capitol (SKBL-11711) and UK on Parlophone (PCSP 721). First Swedish had label as shown here in a US structured leathery fold/out cover with gold print, mottled tracking inners and a twentysix page lyric booklet. (BÄ*) (LGÅ*) (CCÖ*) (PÖX*)
