I suppose some fans of The Beatles could look at this latest repacking of five Fabs albums released in Japan during 1964 and 1965 as an unnecessary, pricey addition to the ever growing Beatles’ canon, seeing as all the music contained on these disks has already appeared in previous, relatively recent CD packages of one sort or another. Or, this new superbly produced set could be viewed as the gift that keeps on giving from a spectacular back catalog and another chance to celebrate the nostalgia and the ongoing world-wide, 50th ANNIVERSARY appeal of the Beatles. A 5-CD boxed set of original Japanese Beatles albums.
The ALBUMS are:
"Meet the Beatles" of in mono,
"The Beatles Second Album" of in mono,
"A Hard Days Night" of in stereo,
"Beatles No. 5" of in mono
and "Help!" in stereo.
The albums all have audio from the 2009 UK re-masters but the sleeves are made like miniatures of these original Japanese Beatles albums. Includes a 100 page Japanese book + Albums commentary along with Japanese bilingual lyrics. Also Includes Fax-simile Copies Of The Oblongs From Original Japanese Albums And An Ad Card.
All CDs Are Housed In LP-Replica Format, Faithful To The Original Japanese Albums.
MADE IN JAPAN.
P.S. However, just about anything by the Beatles is pop platinum and collector catnip to the fans and I sincerely doubt this set will eventually emerge in any different fashion.
Meet THE BEATLES! The JAPAN BOX is out now!
