7 Beatles Early U.S. Albums on Vinyl Again!
With Special Assistance from Bruce Spizer!
Apple Corps. Ltd., Capitol Records and Universal Music have announced that seven of the Beatles early U.S. albums will be issued on vinyl again for the first time in nearly 30 years! This special release includes: Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s Night (United Artists Original Motion Picture Sound Track); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2-LP set); Beatles ’65; and The Early Beatles.
All seven albums are mono–the way most Americans heard these albums back in 1964 and 1965. But these vinyl albums will sound better than ever, sourced from lacquers cut by Kevin Reeves at Nashville’s East Iris Studios using an analog process from the original mono master tapes, and pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl.
Each album features faithfully replicated artwork and new four-panel inserts with essays written by Bruce.
The albums will be available in a box set titled The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums In Mono, with all titles except for The Beatles’ Story also available individually.
The box set and albums will be released on November 22, 2024.
