Beatles Help! and A Hard Day's Night Capitol Release Mono and Stereo versions! Ebbetts DESS!.
Special Combination!
Offered here are the Mono mixes of The Beatles American Release Help! and A Hard Day's Night. Very different from the U.K. release, as some of you know.
Quoting Dr. Ebbetts, who pioneered this special release. What you are listening to is the original 1960's Capitol mixes, not the inferior digital recording. For some, this is the sound of your childhood! All that 1960's tubey magic that can only come from vinyl, which is the source material in these cases.
"To start, I am offering the American versions of the Beatles' original LP catalogue on Compact Disc. The intent was to replicate, as closely as possible, the original LP issues in CD form, inclusive of the original artwork and the original mixes. To that end, I am offering these titles in this format. It is, essentially, the creation (or recreation) the Capitol catalogue on CD as well as the vast majority of the Vee-jay titles. These issues are what I would envision the actual commercial versions of this material to look like had they been officially released by Capitol/EMI.
As far as the sound quality of the music is concerned, the material itself is as good, if not better, than any I have heard on Compact Disc meant to replicate these titles. The material itself comes from two main sources - either original reel to reel tapes or original virgin vinyl. Each and every CD I offer has been verified to have the CORRECT mixes - not just compilations of the correct titles in the correct order taken from other sources. This is MOST important to the integrity of the Dr. Ebbetts name.
The reason these titles were created in the first place was because in so many instances, incorrect mixes were being used in various releases said to be authentic replications of the original American catalogue.
However, what I believe truly sets these issues apart from other like discs is the artwork. The original Capitol/EMI designs are faithfully reproduced in crisp color and detail. Unlike many issues that exist of the same material, these discs feature artwork that is not blurred byscanning or cheap low-quality inkjet printing. They are printed at no less than300dpi on high gloss professional paper.
The discs themselves are made to replicate "store-bought" discs. There is no tint whatsoever on the data side. They are true silver CDRs. Also, these discs do not have paper labelling. The text is printed directly on the disc via thermal ink transfer, giving it that "store-bought" look, like the commercial issues of The Beatles 'material. The ink used in the disc-printing is HIGHLY scratch resistant. Evenwith substantial "abuse" the ink stays put. (It's been tested, believe me!)
Again, they are intended to replicate the original releases."
Long out-of-print. Unavailable anywhere! Slight scuffmarks on the Help! jewel case take nothing away.
