Notes

Mid 70s pressing, STEMRA version (bottom of label under "The Beatles")

Back cover and labels state "Vervaardigd in licentie door N.V. Bovema-Heemstede-Holland" (back cover also says "Gramophonehouse")

The runout groove numbers are different than the The Beatles - Beatles' Greatest BIEM version.

Audiophile Notes:
A7 - She Loves You is fake stereo
B1 - I Feel Fine sounds like the version from Beatles '65 in the US, fake stereo drenched with echo.
B8 - All My Loving has the hi-hat intro.

Stereo ook mono weer te geven

NOTE:
Some copies imported to the US have a Capitol/EMI "Imported Holland" sticker on the front (covering the Parlophone logo) and an "Odeon" sticker on the back, also covering the Parlophone logo.

    I was playing this today and it’s hard to believe that some of the songs on here didn’t make the cut for the new 2023 red album 1962-66 reissue . I should have known better, long tall Sally , it won’t be long, rock and roll music and please me postman are Beatles classics , yet fail to make a top 75 song Beatle comp (if you include the blue album ). Just shows what a friggin amazing band they were 🎸🎶

      I've recently purchased this record in a corner shop. Now I'm really happy to own this album and I recommend it! All of the other commenters have mentioned All My Loving and I Feel Fine, and it's very interesting to hear the versions used on it. So if you don't have them: give this LP a spin...

        This is a pretty cool compilation. Most of the songs sound pretty great. The songs from With The Beatles have the most unbalanced stereo panning with all the music on the left and all the vocals on the right, they stick out like a sore thumb. As mentioned below it's unfortunate that the Capital mix of "I Feel Fine" is included as it's a reverb filled nightmare.

        It's worth it just to have the somewhat jarring hi-hat intro of "All My Loving" since it's something different.

          aside from a few issues mentioned by the other commenters here, this compilation sounds fantastic! a bit bright but i still like it a lot.

            Nice track selection but the mix on ‘I Feel Fine’ is awful , sounds like they are singing out of a can , distant and echoey

              Interesting four count on the closed high hat cymbal for the intro on this recording of All My Loving.
