Here is some information I found on line regarding the Capitol Albums from the box set. I cut and pasted this into a word document and included below.

There are a lot of different mixes both in Stereo and Mono that are different then the new re-mastered versions from EMI.

Here you go:

The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1

The Capitol Albums Volume 1 contains the first four Beatles albums issued by Capitol. Each of these 1964 albums is presented first in stereo and then in mono. Because the first four British albums issued on CD in 1987 are mono only, many of the ...

I dont want to get the site into trouble as i dont know how far you can go without people getting lawsuit ideas but to pay for bootlegs/alternate releases is throwing your money away. There are numerous places to get the u.s. albums online but you do have to be very very careful where you go (im not posting links or hints or anything like that). Otherwise you're computer becomes as useless as a chocolate baking dish.

And remember anything other than the fully official apple endorsed capitol released highly expensive u.s. boxsets are illegal (that should keep the lawyers happy and the vultures away).

There are bootleg CD's of the Capitol albums on eBay or other places that sound just as good as the Capitol box sets; and of albums like Y. and T. or Revolver that were left off the box sets. Here's an example of Y and T with the alternate blue cover:

I can see that happening, especially since the Parlophone recordings were also issued in mono (for the purists) along with the latest stereo masters releases. I guess I could always take the proper songs and make my own Capitol Canadian discography.

On a side note when the Mono Box set was released back in 2009 there were reports of dealers/retailers who were opening the boxes and selling the mono cds individually. Who's to say that this didnt happen with the Capitol boxes.

No individual cd's have officially been released. Back in 1987 the Beatles catalogue was standardised with the UK albums being adopted as the officially available versions and all others being taken off the market.

I doubt volume 3 will see a release any time soon. What remains? Revolver, Yesterday and Today, A Hard days Night (tho that was a United Artists release. I presume the copyright is back with Capitol tho.) Any others? I know there was The Beatles Story but that was mainly interviews and an excerpt of 1 song from the Hollywood Bowl so we can probably count that out. I suppose Hey ...

Does anyone know if the Beatles' US capitol albums have been issued as single cds? I know of the 2 Capitol box sets, but not of any single cd releases.
