If the following question has already been asked, please forgive me.
Are any of these LPs from the digitally remastered versions from the late 80s?
I thought that the UA version of A Hard Days Night was actually released on Capitol as a digital remaster.
I am unsure about the retro rainbow label...it may have predated the digital remastering. But for a brief period, ALL Beatles LP titles appeared on Capitol with the rainbow label. This included ALL U.S. titles, ALL UK titles (including both UK + US versions of HELP, Rubber Soul, Revolver, US MMT, Let It Be w/o gatefold but including a poster). I have never compared the differently mastered versions. I think all digital remastered vinyl received new catalog numbers.
ANY help is appreciated.
Thank you, VeeJay, for this tremendous undertaking.

Hey, Gang -

The weeks certainly are flying by, huh? Well, it's Friday and that means it's time for another LP in this series!

This time around, it's the all-too-creative Capitol Records title, Something New! (Great music, lame LP title, that is.)

Enjoy!

Hi, KC! Thanks for your great questions about these LPs.

I can say with absolute confidence that these predate the digital remaster releases. I remember buying these in the early 80's, when they were ALWAYS fully in stock with at least half a dozen copies of each album in the bins! (I miss those days... ) As I understand it, the purple labels were first released in 1978 and until 1983, when the retro rainbow versions came out. Although most of mine are purple, that's why I have a mix of the two, since the purple was being slowly being phased out as the stock supply sold off, in favor of the retro rainbows. The AHDN Soundtrack is actually a 1980 copy, so there's no digital remastering there either!

Thanks Vee-Jay for another fine Capitol album. As a first-gen fan, the Capitol records will always hold a special fondness to me. I was all of 7 years old (my birthday was in between the first 2 Sullivan shows) and those American albums were all I knew existed until about 1973 or 4.

Cheers, and thanks again for the upgrades.
