At least this time this new 2010 issue notes that Tracks 1 to 4 on Disc 1 are in MONO, while all other are in STEREO ("Love Me Do" is the album mix and not the single version).

In fact the original 1973 albums stated only STEREO on the labels and only the STEREO code was reflected in their catalogue numbers too. Eagle-eye fans would therefore note that as ALL Beatles UK 7" singles for that period were issued only in MONO, so the tracks on the album should reflect that - the MONO single mixes. The compilation itself is basically the A-sides of all their UK 7" singles releases between 19 in chronological release date order with a few key album tracks thrown in for good measure. And better, it doesn't actually diminish the listen, if anything it enhances it. Besides, I like the break, taking out the first disc and putting in the second - it's how the original 2LP issue was. I think the new price pitch makes the 'one' disc argument a mute point. At least this time, the reissue is at mid price, so we're not being charged for the privilege. But EMI would of course argue that this would fundamentally alter the aesthetic of the original release. It doesn't take a particular genius to work out from the playing times provided above that this set could easily have fitted onto 1CD (and even included bonus tracks). Having said that, I still think they look great - substantial even. I suppose I would have been naïve of us to think that EMI would actually listen to the complaints of 2009 about packaging, but they haven't - the need for these issues to look the same as the preceding ones has overridden all considerations. Downsides - some complained that the 09/09/09 card digipak sleeves for The Beatles reissues were easy to smudge once out of the shrinkwrap and worse - the inner flaps easy to tear as you removed the disc. The lyrics are intact from the inner sleeves of the original album issue, there's new liner notes by BILL FLANAGAN the MTV Executive and author of "Evening's Empire" (a book on Rock in the Sixties) and there's plenty of superb colour photos from the period - it's impressively done. The left flap houses a new 32-page booklet.

The vinyl set is yet to come, the Digital Download versions are available from and there's also an issue that lumps both the Red & Blue reissues together as one package in late November.

It also houses the two CDs - CD1 has the full Apple label (13 tracks, 31:02 minutes) and the 2nd CD has the half Apple logo (13 tracks, 31:45 minutes). Pancras Old Church in London, 27 July 1969, The Beatles with the public looking through the railings). The centre and right flaps picture the photograph on the inner gatefold of the original vinyl double album (St. The first thing you notice is that the clunky double jewel-case of the 1993 reissue has been dumped for a three-way foldout card sleeve. So is this newly remastered 2010 mid-priced 2CD reissue on EMI/Apple 5099990675225 any better - the answer is an emphatic 'yes'. When they were finally reissued onto the new CD format in 1993 however, they caused consternation because of their extortionate full price. Review: By Mark Barry at Reckless Records, London (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)Ĭommonly known as the "Red Album", the 2LP vinyl set "1962 - 1966" became an instant classic when it was first released in April 1973 (as did its "Blue" counterpart "1967-1970"). "Red" and "Blue" are the first Beatles compilations to be released after the band's 1970 disbandment, the popular collections each feature a selection of singles and album tracks written by the band's members. Both 2CD packages include expanded booklets with original liner notes, newly written essays by Bill Flanagan and rare photos. The result is the highest fidelity the catalogue has seen since its original release. The Beatles' original 1973 compilation 1962-1966 ("Red") and 1967-1970 ("Blue") have been remastered by the same dedicated team of engineers at EMI Music's Abbey Road Studios responsible for remastering The Beatles' original UK studio albums, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings.
