CD Notes

Released in November 2004, this was one of box set containing the first four US album releases on Capitol Records. Each of the four discs contains two versions of each LP. One in stereo mix and one in mono. As was tradition at the time, these early Beatle albums were offered in both mixes to suit the needs of consumers. Eventually the move into stereo became a standard for the music industry, but the trend of releasing Beatles' albums in two version continued through to the end of the 1960's.
Album Notes
Because United Artists, who produced the film "A Hard Day's Night" had rights to the album, Capitol was prevented from issuing the soundtrack and calling "A Hard Day's Night". Instead, Capitol - who had stereo mixes of the tracks where United Artists didn't - came up with Something New. The American release of A Hard Day's Night was issued by United Artists and was presented only in mono with some "rechanneled" stereo. For Something New, Capitol used 8 tracks from the UK version of A Hard Day's Night along with Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand (a German recording of I Want To Hold Your Hand) and the 2 tracks from the UK Long Tall Sally EP not issued on Meet The Beatles.
