Was the updated version of Revolution in the Head ever released in the U.S.?
I checked the original out of the library a little after the author died and it was great and it's something I want to purchase--but only the updated version.

I flipped when I saw the "Recording Sessions" in paperback for $8 at Borders earlier this summer. It is, hands down, my favorite Beatles book of all time. I have a first edition hardcover that I gingerly refer to from time to time. Now, I have a new soft cover copy that I can keep handy and not worry about.

I'll be picking this one up:
Quote:
The Beatles' The Capitol Albums box set comprises The Beatles first 4
US (Capitol) albums - available for the first time on CD in this form.
Tracks from all four US albums (Meet The Beatles, The Beatles' Second
Album, Something New and Beatles '65), originally released 40 years ago
in 1964, will be available both in mono and stereo.
Packaging features the original US album sleeve designs in card
wallets, plus a brand new 52 page booklet in the style of a scrap book,
with comprehensive notes by Beatles expert Mark Lewisohn, a great
selection of pictures and memorabelia from the era, plus quotes from
the Beatles themselves.
Artwork features the Fab Four and the Capitol Rainbow label in a
longbox/slipcase format, which folds to CD size for ease of racking
when the longbox is removed.
Apart from the obvious appeal to The Beatles fanbase, collectors will
be interested in these releases as tracks that appeared on the first 4
UK albums have only thus far been available on CD in mono.
Unlike their UK counterparts, the early US albums contained many of the
favourite early Beatles hits, only available on singles at the time in
the UK, and have been in demand on CD for many years.
The box set will be a significant release in the US, following in the
footsteps of 'The First US Visit' DVD, which also celebrated the 40th
Anniversary of The Beatles in the US earlier this year.
Advertising will be taken in key music press including Mojo, Uncut,
Word, Record Collector and national press, with a strong emphasis at
retail level.

Amazon is listing this for a rather hefty 69.98. CD Universe has it for a more reasonable 52.60. I still think I'll wait for a review to see if it's worthwhile.

It'll drop. They usually start out items at list and change it later...

I was just listening to "Run For your Life" the other day and I had to laugh...and shake my head a bit at the lyrics... I mean, I know this song was written in a joking way, but it still made me take notice... "I'd rather see you dead little girl, than to be with another man.... catch you with another man... that's the end, little girl. You know that I'm a wicked guy..."
I just wonder how this song would be received if released today from say a mainstream pop group?

I suppose the same could be said of other songs such as "Down By the River" (I shot my baby), "Hey Joe" (I'm going down to shoot my old lady...)etc.
But aren't those lyrics kind of innocuous compared to, say, Eminem?

Agreed Marvin. I'm not saying we don't hear them from Eminem, but I guess I was just surprised on first listen to the song.

The first line of that song was taken by John from the line "I'd rather see you dead little girl than see you with another man" which occurred towards the end of Elvis Presley's 1955 Sun single "Baby, Let's Play House". It was originally written in 1954 by a 28-year-old preacher's son from Nashville named Arthur Gunter, who based the song on a 1951 country hit by Eddy Arnold, "I Want To Play House With You", and recorded it for the Excello label in late 1954. |
