They sound very good, but I think there’s something a little “off” with the speed, or pitch, or something like that (obviously I’m not an audio expert LOL)… so if any of you audio gurus out there feel like doing any necessary corrections or adjustments, please feel free to do so and share it with this group (I’d LOVE this set in better sound quality if possible).

[^This album was only issued on reel-to-reel format together with "Beatles VI. It went out of print by 1971 (see https://www.friktech.com/btls/tapes/rtr.pdf)]

Volume 4:
Help! (Capitol/Ampex L-2386)
Rubber Soul (Capitol/Ampex L-2442)
[^These are the US mixes. Definitely different stereo mixes here: "The Word" is a unique US mix. The shaker that is usually mixed to the right channel is sent to the left; "I'm Looking Through You" has the false start; "Girl" is mixed with the bass in the middle instead of one side.]

Of the two duplicate titles (Meet the Beatles & Hey Jude); I can’t really discern which source is better for each… both have their pros and cons.
The downloads contain the original FLAC files as I received them, including the original artwork. I made different artwork for my own use, you’re welcome to use it as well:
