Based on some recent research, it was apparent that Capitol specifically mixed the US 45's for optimal airplay on AM Radio. My question though is whether or not these 45 mixes are the versions that are on the US CD issues. Based on the listings on top40musiconCD.com, there's no indication to think otherwise (such as "LP mix" or even "UK Mix"). I just want to be sure what I have in my collection are the true US 45 versions. I have all of the US LP releases on CD.

Depends on the song, but generally it looks like Capitol sourced their mono Beatles 45s from what they also used to create the mono album masters they prepared (example "Roll Over Bethoven" according to the tape box scan in the mono vinyl reissue of Beatles 2nd Album).
Was there a specific song you were curious about? |

As far as I know, none of them were remixed for the U.S. market. Re-EQ'd, perhaps. Reverb was added for "She's a Woman" and "I Feel Fine" single. And "I am the Walrus" was a different edit because it was released in the U.S. first, prior to its appearance on any album, and then a brief instrumental section was snipped out for the album version. But as far as actually remixing them for the US singles, as in going back to the session multi-track tapes and creating new mixes, I've never heard that before. |
