~ Release by The Beatles (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Note: Different pressing to Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 2 (1964-1965), "(1963 - 1964)" is not printed on disc.

Pristine, studio-quality outtakes and alternate versions, from the master tapes.
All tracks stereo except 1, 7 and 12 mono.
First pressings were mistakenly mastered with only one channel of the stereo image on both sides.

Unfortunately, almost every track on every Yellow Dog CD is mastered at the wrong speed, somewhere slow of A=440.
