Description

On February 7, 1964, The Beatles arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, greeted by scores of screaming, swooning fans who rushed the gate to catch a glimpse of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as they took their first steps on American soil. Two nights later, on Sunday, February 9, 73 million viewers in the U.S. and millions more in Canada tuned in to CBS to watch The Beatles make their American television debut on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.' In what remains one of the world's top-viewed television events of all time, The Beatles performed five songs on the live broadcast and 'Beatlemania, ' already in full, feverish bloom in The Beatles' native U.K. was unleashed with blissful fervor across America and around the world. The British Invasion had begun. The new 13 CD box set THE U.S. ALBUMS commemorates the 50th anniversary of these history-making events, spanning 1964's MEET THE BEATLES! to 1970's HEY JUDE. The Beatles' U.S. albums differed from the band's U.K. albums in a variety of ways, including different track lists, song mixes, album titles, and art. The box set includes the following titles: MEET THE BEATLES! THE BEATLES' SECOND ALBUM, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK , SOMETHING NEW, THE BEATLES' STORY, BEATLES '65, THE EARLY BEATLES, BEATLES VI, HELP! ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK , RUBBER SOUL, YESTERDAY AND TODAY, REVOLVER, HEY JUDE. These albums were originally issued between 1964 and 1970 by Capitol Records, Apple Records, and United Artists in the United States. These new releases seek to replicate the unique listening experience heard by Americans at the time by preserving the sequences, timings, and artwork found on the albums. Capitol's engineers in the 1960s took great care to produce what they believed to be the best possible sound for the playback equipment in use at that time. Due to the limitations of the record players of the day, engineers often compressed the sound by raising the volume of the softer passages and lowering the volume for the louder parts of the songs. They also reduced the bass frequencies since too much bass could cause the record to skip. In some cases, reverb was added to the tracks to make them sound more "American." The CDs are packaged in miniature vinyl sleeves that faithfully recreate the original U.S. LP releases down to the finest detail, including the inner sleeves. 11 original U.S. albums presented in both mono and stereo. Hey Jude and The Beatles' Story are in stereo only. A Hard Day's Night Original Motion Picture Soundtrack , The Beatles' Story, Yesterday And Today, Hey Jude and the U.S. version of Revolver are presented on CD for the first time. Yesterday And Today features the original album cover of The Beatles posing with raw meat and baby dolls. The package also comes with a collectible sticker of the subsequent Yesterday And Today cover art. Also included is a 64-page booklet which includes a new essay examining the U.S. albums and their historical significance, written by American author and television executive Bill Flanagan. The box set's dimensions are: 6 inches wide x 6 1/8 inches tall x 3 inches thick.
