Beatles - Japan Box

Here's your chance to Meet The Beatles just as Japanese listeners did half a century ago! This box brings you the best of both worlds, presenting mini-LP CD-sleeve replicas of the five albums the Fab Four released in Japan in '64 and '65, while using The Beatles-approved 2009 remastered sound. The albums: Meet The Beatles! (mono), The Beatles' Second Album (mono), a Hard Day's Night (stereo), Beatles No. 5 (stereo) and Help! (original stereo mix). Available on legit CD for the first time anywhere in the world, these albums (which faithfully replicate the original Japanese artwork) differ from both the U.S. and UK versions. Meet The Beatles! Has 14 tracks to the U.S. 12, and much different artwork. Ditto for Second Album (though the U.S. release of that one only had 11 tracks). a Hard Day's Night mirrors the original UK track listing, but features alternate artwork. Beatles No. 5 is vastly different than the U.S. release, and Help! Only diverges from the UK release in it's artwork. All across the board, the OBI strips seen on the original Japanese covers are replicated. A big booklet loaded with Japanese contents joins this wealth of early Beatles classics and covers that made waves in Japan and all around the globe: I Want to Hold Your Hand: She Loves You: From Me to You: Twist and Shout: Love Me Do: I Saw Her Standing There: All My Loving: Can't Buy Me Love: Money: Till There Was You: A Hard Day's Night: If I Fell: I Feel Fine: Help!: You've Got to Hide Your Love Away: Ticket to Ride: Yesterday: Matchbox: Chains: Slow Down: This Boy: I'll Be Back: Long Tall Sally, and more John, Paul, George and Ringo as first rapturously received in Japan (but with recently remastered sound)!
