Im April dieses Jahres gaben Apple Corps Ltd. und EMI Music die weltweite Veröffentlichung des originalen remasterten Beatles-Kataloges für Mittwoch den 09.09.2009 bekannt. Jedes Album erscheint im originalen Cover-Artwork und enthält ein umfangreiches Booklet mit neu verfassten Liner Notes und zahlreichen seltenen Fotos.
Ganze vier Jahre dauerte der akribische Remastering Prozess in den Londoner Abbey Road Studios. Beim Einsatz der sowohl neuesten Studiotechnologie als auch klassischen Sound-Equipments wurde das Hauptaugenmerk stets auf die möglichst authentische Wiedergabe der originalen Analogaufnahmen gelegt. Das Ergebnis ist die originalgetreueste Klangqualität, in der diese Musik seit ihrer Entstehung und Erstveröffentlichung in den 60er Jahren zu hören war.

Unlike some Beatles albums, this one actually includes some hit singles. They are Help, Ticket to ride and Yesterday, although their version of Yesterday was not released as a single in the UK until the mid-seventies, when it made the top ten. Many covers of Yesterday were released as singles in the UK but only two charted, these being the versions by Matt Monro, who made the top ten, and Marianne Faithfull, who made the top forty. Of course, all the singles that were released in Britain and America at the time were number one hits.
The early Beatles albums included several covers but times were changing so this album contains only two. One of them, Act naturally, is a country song originally performed by Buck Owens. On this album, Ringo is the lead singer. The other cover, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, is a rock'n'roll song originally performed by Larry Williams.
Apart from the three hits already mentioned, the most popular songs here are You've got to hide your love away and I've just seen a face, both of which have been covered by a number of other singers and groups in a variety of musical styles. The remaining songs, including two by George Harrison, are interesting but not especially memorable. For that reason, this album is not one of the strongest Beatles albums, but it is still an excellent album in its own way and worthy of its five stars.
So, this is a great album but less great than most other Beatles albums. If you only want some Beatles music but not everything, you can give this a miss as long as you have a compilation containing the hits. If, like me, you want a lot of their music, this album becomes essential.
