Thanks for this!

Sometimes I wonder about the Capitol advertising and promotion folks. They had the perfect chance to make this a perfect sampler by including "Shout" from "Around the Beatles" as the track from "The Beatles Story"...but, no...

"Twist & Shout" was included on The Beatles Story live from the Hollywood Bowl, Not "Shout" from Around The Beatles special.

While we're on the subject of this rather missed opportunity of a box set...

Is it correct that the only 2014 CDs that have true alternate mixes (of some sort) are:
- Something New
- Beatles '65
- Rubber Soul
- Yesterday and Today
...?

Here's some info found on the Hoffman forum (this is NOT my research, just borrowed)... https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/ ... ds.952846/

And this blurb addresses the 2014 US Box

In nearly every case, the master delivered by EMI to Capitol was used as the source; in some cases, unique mixes were re-created. In cases where Capitol had used a folded-down stereo mix (such as for Meet The Beatles, Help! and The Early Beatles) for the mono version, this set uses a dedicated (2009 master) mono mix. In cases where Capitol uses a "Duophonic" stereo mix, this set uses a dedicated stereo mix. For tracks released on the UK Help! and Rubber Soul, the 1987 stereo remix (as remastered in 2009) was used.

The Beatles' Second Album
"Long Tall Sally" (mono)
"I Call Your Name" (mono)
Something New
"I'll Cry Instead" (mono)
"Any Time at All" (mono)
"When I Get Home" (mono)
"And I Love Her" (mono)
A Hard Day's Night
"I'll Cry Instead" (mono) (same as on mono Something New)
"And I Love Her" (mono) (same as on mono Something New, but runs slower here)
"I'll Cry Instead" (mono) (no stereo version)
Beatles '65
"I'll Be Back" (mono)
"She's a Woman" (mono)
"I Feel Fine" (mono)
Rubber Soul
"Michelle" (mono)
"The Word" (stereo)
"I'm Looking Through You" (stereo)
Yesterday and Today
"I'm Only Sleeping" (mono)
"Doctor Robert" (mono)
"And Your Bird Can Sing" (mono)
"We Can Work It Out" (stereo)
"Day Tripper" (stereo)

The only thing I know that's inaccurate is that I Call Your Name used the UK mono mix on the 2014 CD...
