THE BEATLES/BEATLES '65 T 2228 (-64) US MONO

  Including the "story" LP US Capitol released five Beatles albums 1964. This was the last of those. A kind of US version of the UK "Beatles For Sale", having eight tracks from that combined with both sides of the "I Feel Fine"/"She's A Woman" 45 and a leftover from the "A Hard Days Night" sessions - "I'll Be Back".  The IFF and SAW cuts have way too much reverb for my taste, which is a disappointment as I would love to have had them as they were close to the fact. Luckily there is a Swedish "Greatest Hits" from 1965 which contains those and a couple other early oddities totally unmuddled    https://monolover.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-beatlesgreatest-hits-pmcs-306-65.html  . The versions on here are not what I remember and therefore find them too strange, but guess if you grew up with those versions it's the ones you prefer. Some of the other cuts have reverb too, but not that disturbing, just making the audio more airy. And it is a good gathering of songs, so nevertheless a fine addition to any Beatles collection. Sixties issues also in Canada, Germany (Odeon SMO 83917), a couple of South American countries plus as US 4-track, 8-track and cassette.  EU 2014 CD on Apple (B0019703-02) came with all tracks in both mono and stereo. Not sure what the timeline is for this copy, but with rainbow label on medium thick vinyl in a glossy sleeve, if not the very first press it's certainly early enough for me.
