Another individual contributes the following:
I'm still told its June for the
start of this release schedule which fits in with that euro release
calender. "For the first time on CD the original UK stereo mixes of
'Please Please Me', 'With The Beatles', 'A Hard Days Night', and
'Beatles For Sale'.."
Artwork for the contemporary
international releases of these albums has been sourced and utilized
(Germany, Holland, Scandanvia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada..) so
visually nice booklet expected.

My Take: I have no doubt
that this will happen. The real question is when? This June may be too
optimistic but could explain why "The
Capitol Albums Vol. 2" is being rushed to market in what is
generally an off season for music releases. A June release also ties in
with "The Cirque du Soleil"
project, for cross marketing purposes. A remastered UK catalogue could
also generate addition revenue to address the lawsuit / royalty issue.
However, the year 2007 seems more likely as EMI can market the 20th
anniversary upgrade angle of the original UK CDs.
March 21, 2006 - "Platinum Weird"?!?? - My Take: Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, Dhani
Harrison, Bob Geldof and Stevie Nicks appear in a “Rutles” style video clip
reminiscing about a band called “Platinum
Weird” that supposedly dates back to the early '70s. In fact,
the "history" is a fabricated (but well developed) spoof of a much more
recent project involving Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame). Of most
interest to Beatles fans is a "cover version" of George Harrison's “This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying)”
with George on lead vocal (!). Harrison fans will recall the original
from George's 1975 album “Extra
Texture (Read All About It)”. Listeners of the “Platinum Weird” version will
no doubt realize that the Harrison lead vocal is much more recent than
the early '70s (probably mid '90s) and his vocal presence is much
stronger than on the original version. A “Platinum Weird” album titled “Avalanche” should emerge this
summer. The internet has many interlinked resources for this project so
there is a promotional build up happening. (Just “Google” the name “Platinum Weird” and you’ll see
what I mean). There's an
official site (which features the video clip) and a direct
audio link to “This Guitar”.

Apple Corps Official Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APRIL 11, 2006 -- CAPITOL RECORDS
TO RELEASE VOLUME 2 OF BEATLES U.S. RECORDINGS IN A BOX SET
FEATURING THE EARLY BEATLES,
BEATLES VI, HELP! AND RUBBER SOUL FIRST TIME EVER ON CD
On April 11, 2006, Capitol
Records will release The Beatles Capitol Albums Volume 2, a collection
of the four Capitol albums by The Beatles from 1965. The box set marks
the CD debut of The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, the Help! soundtrack and
the American version of Rubber Soul.
This is the much anticipated
companion set to the Capitol Albums Volume 1 which brought together for
the first time on CD the albums that began it all - Meet The Beatles,
The Beatles Second Album, Something New and Beatles '65.
"It has been an ambition of mine
to see the release of these CDs in the form we grew up with in the
U.S.," says Andrew Slater, President and CEO, Capitol Records. "The
remastering should ensure that the sound quality lives up to the
expectations of our memories."
The Early Beatles marks the
stereo debut on CD of nine early Beatles classics, including Please,
Please Me and Twist And Shout.
Beatles VI marks the stereo debut
on CD of five Beatles recordings, including cover versions of Kansas
City and Words Of Love, as well as Lennon and McCartney's What You're
Doing and Every Little Thing. The album also marks the CD debut of four
Beatles songs in their original 1965 George Martin mono mixes.
The Help! soundtrack album
contains five instrumental tracks from the film making their CD debut,
including From Me To You Fantasy and Another Hard Day's Night. When the
British Help! LP was issued on CD in 1987, it contained George Martin
stereo remixes of the songs. The Capitol soundtrack album marks the CD
debut of five songs in their original 1965 George Martin stereo mixes.
The Capitol version of Rubber
Soul contains, for the first time on CD, the original 1965 George
Martin stereo mixes. When these songs appeared on CD in 1987, they were
stereo remixes of the songs prepared by George Martin.
The Capitol Albums Volumes 1
& 2 have been carefully mastered from the original master tapes,
taken from the vaults of Capitol Records, to ensure that they sound as
they did when first released in 1964 and 1965. Each disc in the box
sets presents each album in stereo and then in mono.
In the Sixties, American record
labels often chose to reformat British records to suit the needs of the
U.S. market. In America, singles were generally included on current
albums, where as in the UK, albums and singles were most often separate
releases. Higher music publishing costs in the U.S. also made it
impractical to include as many songs on American albums. In addition,
in the case of The Beatles, some of the recordings on the American
albums were given more echo than the British versions, to 'Americanize'
their sound.
In Volume 2, all but four of the
tracks on the stereo albums are actual stereo mixes, with two being
unique Capitol duophonic mixes. Capitol's engineers created duophonic
mixes from mono masters by emphasizing the treble in one channel,
boosting the bass in the other, and running the two channels slightly
out-of-sync to simulate a stereo sound. In addition, five of the mono
tracks are unique Capitol stereo-to-mono mixdowns with added echo and
reverb.
Because the 46 songs included in
Volume 2 are presented in both stereo and mono mixes, there are 92
tracks in the box set. Out of this number, 82 tracks appear in versions
not previously available on CD.
When The Beatles catalog appeared
on CD for the first time in 1987, releases were standardized on a
worldwide basis. A short time later, the U.S. albums, which had last
appeared on vinyl and cassette, were deleted from the Capitol catalog.
Since that time there has been
increasing demand for these original U.S. albums to make their CD
debut, which they now do as part of this specially priced and uniquely
packaged 4 CD boxed set.
The Capitol Albums Volume 2
includes all 4 of the group's 1965 Capitol album releases. Each of the
discs is housed in a miniature replica of the original album cover. The
box set contains a colorful 56-page booklet featuring a scrap book
effect of rare photos and clippings from that amazing year.

FEATURING THE EARLY

TIME EVER ON CD
The Beatles Capitol Albums Volume
2 release is being timed to celebrate the unprecedented and unmatched
April1964 Billboard chart domination by the Beatles, a time most
remembered for The Beatles holding down the top five slots in The Hot
100. Four of those recordings are featured in these two collections.
No other recording artist has
ever held down the top five, four or even three spots on the Billboard
Hot 100. Only four acts besides the Beatles have ever had simultaneous
number one and two hits. During early 1964, the Beatles had at least
two songs at the top of the charts for twelve straight weeks. On April
4, 1964, in addition to the Top Five slots, The Beatles had seven more
songs in the Hot 100, for a total of 12, including two singles imported
from Canada. And if that wasn't enough, the group held down the top two
spots on the album chart with their first two American albums.
On April 11, 1964, The Beatles
broke their own record by placing 14 songs in the Billboard Hot 100.
The Beatles chart domination was
made possible by their talent, and the excitement generated by their
three "Ed Sullivan Show" appearances. These two box sets celebrate this
music by faithfully reproducing how the Beatles recordings were
presented to Americans in 1964 and 1965.

ALL STARRS WILL INCLUDE ROD
ARGENT, MARK HUDSON, RICHARD MARX AND BILLY SQUIER WITH SHEILA E AND
MARK RIVERA RETURNING
Wednesday,
March 8, 2006, Los Angeles, CA – This summer is guaranteed to be a
little more rocking now that Ringo Starr has confirmed the details for
his upcoming 9th All Starr Band. The tour, produced by House of

Band will feature new All Starr's (in alphabetical order) Rod Argent

other band, no not that one!, the other other one – the Roundheads),
Richard Marx, Billy Squier, Edgar Winter with the fabulous Sheila E
returning on drums/percussion and band leader and saxophonist Mark
Rivera.
The All Starr
show is “the best 1-800-band on the road,” (as Ringo always says),
where each of All Starrs take turns singing their greatest hits: “With
A Little Help From My Friends”, “Yellow Submarine”, “Photograph”, “It
Don’t Come Easy,” "Hold Your Head Up," “Don’t Mean Nothin,” “Free
Ride,” “The Stroke,” “Everybody Wants You,” and “Glamorous Life.”
Ringo and His
All Starrs exude the love, joy and phenomenal playing that shine from
the Starr at the center. The shows draw fans of all ages and
sizes…parents and their kids come to enjoy a summer night out with
fantastic music, performed by musicians who love to play. As Ringo
recently said in an interview: “I just have a great time, and that's
the rhythm of my heart and my soul.”
The full
itinerary will be announced shortly, and in the meantime fans can look
