The Beatles, Long Tall Sally
Fue el ultimo album en ser editado exclusivamente para Canada ya que de aqui en adelante todos los lanzamientos de Capitol para el pais del norte concordarian con los editados en USA, empezando con las versiones de A Hard Day's Night de UA y Something New de Capitol.

Was The Beatles final album released exclusively in Canada, after the release of this album, Beatles records in Canada would match the group's American releases, starting with the UA version of the A Hard Day's Night album, and, on Capitol Something New.

Twist and Shout
Este album se publico en el Canada a principios de 1964, fue el segundo album Beatle en ser lanzado por Capitol en ese pais y las tracks son casi todas del album britanico Please, Please Me.
  • Misery y I Saw Her Standing There fueron eliminadas para darle cabida a She Loves You y From Me To You y la cover es diferente a la europea.
  • La contracover tambien contiene datos biograficos de cada integrante del cuarteto y unas notas tipo Barrow.

Twist and Shout was The Beatles second album released in Canada on February 03, 1964 by Capitol and it consists of songs mostly drawn from Please, Please Me the first LP released in the United Kingdom.
  • I Saw Her Standing There ( the opening track of Please Please Me) and Misery were omitted from Twist and Shout. They both appear on the next Canadian LP release, The Beatles Long Tall Sally
  • From Me to You and She Loves You were added to Twist and Shout. They were issued as the A sides on a UK singles

Beatlemania! With The Beatles
Capitol lanzo este disco para mis vecinos del norte, esta version canadiense del LP With The Beatles contiene exactamente las mismas tracks que la britanica lo cual demuestra que en realidad Capitol solo ajustaba las listas de canciones mas por cuestiones legales -Vee Jay tenia los derechos de publicacion en la Union Americana- porque tambien vimos que hasta en Estados Unidos Mexicanos las versiones de los primeros LP's eran, de alguna manera, exclusivos.

La portada es una variante de la original britanica -la misma fotografia de Bob Freeman- pero contiene algunas notas de los criticos de aquella epoca, asi como tambien los comentarios de T. Barrow

Beatlemania! With the Beatles was The Beatles first album released in Canada as well as the first album of their material released anywhere in North America. The recording is exactly the same as The Beatles' second album released in UK, With The Beatles except for additional text being applied to the album's cover.


Lo interesante de esta edicion en CD no es la lista de tracks sino el gran sonido que de nuevo Dr. Ebbetts ha logrado.
Altamente recomendable.
