There are three entirely different UK pressings of the first side (record 1) of this compilation.
1. The first and original pressings have tracks A1 (Love Me Do version #2 Andy White)) and A4 (She Loves You) presented in their tweaked mono forms to give a stereo effect not quite duophonic but Hi's on the right channel lows on the left channel.
Track A5 (I Want To Hold Your Hand) has centred vocals.
2. The updated re-press including the RED Vinyl pressings of 1978+
has A1 to A4 all in mono (Please Please Me and From Me To You were the needlessly added mono casualties) the centred vocals mix of I want To Hold Your Hand was again used.
The original first UK CD release followed the same mononess of the first 4 tracks.
3. The third and final re-press has gone the whole hog and cut all the the six tracks on side 1 in 1 channel mono.
Re-manufactured CD's also have the equivalent six tracks monoised.
Love Me Do both Ringo and Andy White versions were never mixed for or required in stereo
She Loves You as been privately done digitally using the combined elements of the UK mono original and the backing track of the Stereo German Language release. To anyone's ears now the timing, bleed through, wow and flutter and the many many edits cut together to get the original mono master have all been tweaked and matched it sounds incredible and alive. Bearing in mind that it was never recorded like this and since the original spliced together edits and the three track master were wiped, as was the way in those days, once a mono master had been mixed and completed the raw original was no longer needed.
The original pressing inner sleeves were of a rough paper texture and had tight rounded corners.
Latter pressings have glossy card finish inner sleeves with straight 90 degree corners.
