  • where's the blue trunk cover from?

  • @dimebagdave77 I found it at the websites listed in the description box

  • A lot of the US albums had as few as '11' tracks on each one, including 'Y&T'

    'Y&T' is an especially intriguing album, even without the 'butcher sleeve'.

    It has: 2 tracks from the UK "Help!" ( Yesterday, Act Naturally ) , 4 from the UK "Rubber Soul" ( Drive My Car, Nowhere Man, If I Needed Someone, What Goes On ), 3 from the UK "Revolver" ( I'm Only Sleeping, Dr. Robert, And Your Bird Can Sing ), with the "Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out" single tagged on. A real clusterf**k of an LP. hahahaha

  • I know, Capitol went too far that time XD

  • @observer9670 : I don't think The Beatles approved, or disapproved, the Magical Mystery Tour album in the US. EP's in America were tried twice by Capitol Records, but failed to catch on with record buyers. Capitol made their own decision to release MMT as we know it. It was heavily imported into England, where it (the US release) was officially released in the late '70's over there.

  • Sergeant Pepper was the first Beatles album to have the same material in the U.S. as it did in the rest of the world. Magical Mystery Tour was just a double EP in Britain, but was expanded into an LP in the U.S. with the Beatles' approval. The Beatles ( White Album), Abbey Road and Let It Be were the same worldwide, but Capitol release an album in 1970 called "Hey Jude" which contained singles and B-sides not available on albums previously.

  • Yeah, Drives me crackers too..

  • I love hearing how even Lennon hated the US treatment of The Beatles' original albums! :D
