Jody - Great observation!
I checked my dub of the US 45 of "Medley II", and it does
indeed have the "From Me To You" segment, just like the
UK album.
I found an online article from 2012 that discusses the
publishing stuff:
"The US publishing rights for six of The Beatles’ early
songs have changed hands for the first time since the
1960s.
Round Hill Music and Adage Classics have bought a
portfolio of copyrights that includes the songs ‘She
Loves You’, ‘From Me To You’, ‘I Saw Her Standing There’,
‘Misery’, ‘There’s A Place’ and ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’.
Round Hill Music, a year-old start up, bought the
catalogue with Adage Classics, an intellectual property
rights group, for the GIL Music and GPS Music catalogues.
Although the terms of the deal have not been disclosed,
the songs are believed to be worth up to $10 million.
The sale allows Round Hill and Adage to collect
songwriting royalties and licensing income for the songs.
The rights are restricted to the United States and
Canada.
New York song promoter George Pincus originally acquired
the US and Canadian rights to the songs, written by John
Lennon and Paul McCartney, after seeing The Beatles
perform in England in 1963. In 1964 Pincus attempted to
sell the rights for £200, but they remained under family
ownership." |

For a while a couple of those songs in the pre-
ATV/Northern Songs Beatles catalog were controlled by
Universal (formerly MCA). I think the only
Lennon/McCartney hit with publishing actually owned by
them (at this time) is "Love Me Do" and its original
flipside "PS I Love You". Yoko and Sir Paul acquired the
rights from EMI Beechwood for those two.

Disky in Europe included the 4:51 version of the Beatles Medley (UK 45 version?) on two different 8-CD sets called Greatest Hits Of The '80s, one in 1998, one in 2002. I used the 2002 set as the source for my
own homemade US 45 version; I can live without the editing artifact from the true US 45. |

I have a set of the Disky 80's CDs too. Thanks Ron for the info about two issues produced. Mine is also the 2002 version.
I always get a bit forgetful when reading through a long thread. Was the Stars On Long Play ever issued on CD? I was going to drop into the record shop and pick up a vinyl copy for the display shelf.
This is a unique art piece, and I can't seem to find one in my collection.

Thanks to Rich, I can confirm that the full Stars On Long Play album was issued on Qobuz (but including the "From Me To You" snippet), with excellent sound.
Still not on a pressed CD, to the best of my knowledge.

I can't imagine the demand for the Long Play Album outside the digital realm Ron in 2022. If it was going to make CD it would have already.
