After several years selling a rip of the inferior original 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. |
"This title adds to the German canon. However, this title will raise some
questions. Allow me to address what I believe will be the foremost points on
everyone's mind. Indeed, this is the same track lineup and title as one
already available in the catalogue - "The Beatles Greatest (Dutch stereo
LP)." First, let me say that this is an entirely new transfer and,
obviously, brand new artwork. Because this version sounds so much better
than the Dutch LP, I have decided to use this audio as the official master
for both. From now on, only the artwork variations will differentiate the
two. The audio from the Dutch LP has been discontinued." |
