| PRODUCER | George Martin | ||||
| COMMENTS | Release 11th. June 1976. Idea for this
album, Rock And Roll, came from Bhaskar Menon, the head of
Capitol Records in the USA. After trying unsuccessfully to
contract one or all of The Beatles for approval of the
track listing for this new double album, Menon eventually
gave up and contracted George Martin, their producer. When Martin was told of the plan to release this compilation of old Beatles tracks as a new album he flew to the Hollywood office of Capitol. After hearing some of the older tracks with bad background noise and poor stereo Martin was appalled at the prospect of their reissue and set about filtering and remixing every track included on this album. On some of the older tracks, such as “Twist And Shout” and “I Saw Her Standing There”, he reversed the stereo and brought the vocal track away from the edge into the center, adding a slight echo for a more modern sound. He also filtered out the bass from the rhythm track and also placed that in the center of the stereo sound stage and with the aid of filters and equalisers, gave the recording a crisper sound. When he had finished his work, Martin took a copy of the revised tapes back to EMI Records in Britain. The company was horrified because The Beatles had issued official instructions that the tapes must not be “touched, added to, edited or mutilated in any way”. EMI Records took this edict rather too literally, assuming that if they were to be reissued, the tapes should be exactly as originaly recorded. Thus George Martin’s remixed and filtered versions of the original tracks were not included on the Rock And Roll Music album when it was released in Britain. The UK Parlophone double album PCSP 719 kept the original UK mixes including the five stereo mixes of songs that had not yet appeared in stereo in the UK: the Long Tall Sally EP and "I'm Down". In October 1980, the album was divided into two single albums, and released as budget LPs in both the United States and the UK. Rock 'n' Roll Music: Volume 1 (US LP: Capitol SN-16020; UK LP: EMI/Music for Pleasure MFP 50506) contained the songs on sides one and two of the original album, while Rock 'n' Roll Music: Volume 2 (US LP: Capitol SN-16021; UK LP: EMI/Music for Pleasure MFP 50507) consisted of the songs on sides three and four. This time, the British release contained George Martin's Capitol versions. Double LP with gatefold cover. Full laminated "Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd" sleeve. White paper EMI custom inner sleeve. This label have two "EMI" marks, which are white with black print (reversed). "EMI RECORDS LTD." printed at the start perimeter print and "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" printed at the end of the perimeter print. |

EMI Records in
Britain refused to use Martin's reworked Capitol tapes,
citing The Beatles' strict instructions that any reissues
had to be exactly as originally recorded. The UK Parlophone
double album PCSP 719 kept the original UK mixes including
the five stereo mixes of songs that had not yet appeared in
stereo in the UK: the Long Tall Sally EP and "I'm Down". |
