Capitol Remixes -
The Head of 'Capitol' USA contacted George Martin after not being able to contact
any of The Beatles for approval of the track listing for a new double album. George
flew to Hollywood and concerned at the sound quality of the older tracks with
poor stereo and considerable background noise, he set about filtering and remix
all tracks for the new album, Rock 'N' Roll Music.
On his return to the UK, EMI records chiefs , stood strictly by The Beatles
instructions that no songs should be 'touched,added to edited or mutilated in
anyway' and the new mixes were shelved. As the result of growing imports of
the American double album EMI relented in 1980 when they reissued Rock And Roll
Music on a budget label as two separate LP's rather than a double album including
George Martin's 1976 remixes.
Compared to Version 1 , the vocals and piano are 'louder'
and approximately seven seconds prior to end there is an extra 'oow'
about seven seconds before the end.
