COMMENTS | The
Beatles Ballads is a compilation album featuring a selection of
ballad
songs by The Beatles. The album was not released in the United
States,
but in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Germany,
Italy,
India, Japan, South Korea and Australia. Ten of the 20 tracks had been issued just three years earlier on the "Love Songs" album. A remixed version of gNorvegian Woodh is included with the backing track now on the right-hand channel instead of on the left and the vocals mixed into the center. The cover art by "Patrick" (John Byrne) had been created in 1968 as a possible cover for what would become The Beatles ("The White Album"). Its style and concept appears to support the White Album's original working title of A Doll's House. The cover art was taken from the Alan Aldridge book "The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics" and is a painting by John Patrick Byrne which was used in the foreword on page 6. "Patrick" had also done album covers for other artists in the early seventies. The album sleeve manufactured by Garrod & Lofthouse ltd. 1st. pressing / 20th.
