[Paperbackwriter]

I'm not really a good computer user, can anybody tell me how I can get a photo in my text or to my Nick name. It may be funny to you, but I'm relatively new in the computer world, so please give me a help. (Help, I need somebody, Help......)

Thanx, Klaus

Not just anybody

[Paperbackwriter]

LOL, Jake, although I like your pic, it isn't really a  help for me............

[quote by=Paperbackwriter link=Blah.pl?b=cc,m=1102968396,s=14 date=1103127884]Hello Rickenbacker325,
thanx for welcome, what I meant concerning Revolver is the fact, that the original version of that album in the stateswas missing 3 tracks in comparison to the european version, cause the company took these tracks, to fill pu an other album called yesterday and today. So the Americans made two albums of one british by filling up the rest with single a and b sides and ep tracks, to sell more records. Same happened to other albums.
Maybe you heard about the new remastered capitol box set, which includes the american albums Meet the Beatles, Second album, Beatles '65 and Something new, which never were released in Great Britain in these forms. Sgt. Pepper was the first Beatles album, which was not changed from the Beatles authorised britisch version. Even the milestones albums Rubber Soul and Revolver were mutilated by the Americans, what in my Opinion was a kind of "crime", cause the company changed the artists intended work.
Make a comparison between american and british Beatles discographies, and you'll see what I mean. Greetings, Klaus

I understang now what you mean. We in the states have had the European versions since EMI released the whole catalog in cd form here, and before that Capitol/ EMI stopped making the old US Capitol versions on vinyl and issued the European versions on vinyl as well.

Hi Rickenbacker325,

that's interesting to hear, so I'm very curious, whether capitol will also rerelease the remaining captiol albums (The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Yesterday and Today and theUS Version of Revolver) on remastered CD versions.  By the way, it may be intersting for you, that EMI Germany in the 60'ies released a mix by British and US Albums. Although they released for example A Hard Day's Night in the same version like the British EMI did, they also released Something New, although there a partly the same songs on it. Same EMI Germany did with Beatles for Sale they simultaneously released that and Beatles '65. A politic of publishing, which irritated me, when I was a teenie, and I bought both of them.

That's it for the moment, greetings, Klaus

hi Klaus, 45 here from maryland,usa, almost the same age.....anyway, i like the american Rubber Soul much better, probably since i wore it out as a kid and still do....it's hard for me to get used to the british one....but it's just a matter of being used to it the american way.....all the songs are great, even if you get them on different albums....i have the new 4 cd set sitting in my christmas stocking!    dying to sneak it out....always a kid here....welcome to the site....it's full of great people of all ages and places!    merry christmas everyone!

Hi Billy Shields,

thanx for your welcome, I can understand your opinion very well. I bought the LP SOMETHING NEW (which was released here in Germany bei EMI as well) when I was 14, and hearing it today, it has the typicall effect you probably know, after a song is finished, I know in my mind, which one will be the follow up. So I'm shure, for you Americans it is a nice thing, that capitol rereleased the American versions now. I like them too, because for the first time I can listen to stereo versions of the WITH THE BEATLES album on CD now, which was unintelligible not published in stereo bei EMI 'til now. And by the way, I like the covers of the Box set very much too.
Merry Xmas, Klaus
