Comments:

After several years selling a rip of the inferior original pre 1971 pressing of this a title the Doc released the post 1971 reissue of the Dutch compilation album The Beatles' Greatest which not only had a different master and mixes but sounded great. This pressing can easily be identified by STERMA appearing below The Beatles on the record label and this appears on the Doc's disc artwork.

The easiest way to tell the two versions apart is by listening on this reissue I Feel Fine is in true stereo and has the Whispering intro and less reverb and All My Loving has no Hi-hat count-in .

Collectors of alternate mixes may prefer to look out Helter Skelter's Beatles For Sale Studio Sessions Back to Basics rather than trying to locate this obscure title for a single track.

Release Notes:

This release, too, looks like it could be 'or should be' an Ebbetts upgrade. Alas, it isn't. This title is sourced from a gorgeous copy of the Dutch version of this LP. This pressing differs from the German version of this LP already in my catalogue. First off, this LP contains the version of 'I Feel Fine' with the famous 'whispering'at the beginning of the song 'the first time it's been available on an Ebbetts release. Additionally, 'I Feel Fine' is MUCH LESS echoey than the version on the German LP too. 'All My Loving' does NOT have the hi-hat intro heard on the German LP. According to several of the people who help me with quality control of the Ebbetts releases, this LP isn't as 'open' sounding as the German one.

Some of the artwork has been updated slightly to more accurately reflect the LP jacket. ( Source : Doc- 5 Dec 2007)
