| COMMENTS | The album was first released on
11th June 1976. The idea for Rock 'n' Roll Music is
attributed to Bhaskar Menon, then head of Capitol Records in
the U.S. After trying unsuccessfully to contact one or all
of The Beatles for approval of the track listing for
this new double album, Menon eventually gave up and
contacted George Martin, their producer. According to accounts of the album’s preparation, George Martin visited Capitol’s Hollywood offices and reworked existing stereo recordings for the compilation. His reported adjustments to older tracks such as “Twist And Shout” and “I Saw Her Standing There” included reversing the stereo channels, moving the vocals toward the center, adding slight echo, and using filters and equalizers to bring bass toward the center and improve clarity. He then took the revised tapes to EMI in Britain. EMI is reported to have declined to use them, citing instructions from The Beatles that reissues should preserve the original recordings without alteration. The original British release therefore used the original U.K. mixes rather than Martin’s reworked Capitol versions. 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. Fully laminated sleeve manufactured by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. White paper EMI inner sleeve. The label had two boxed EMI logos, printed in black on white backgrounds. The rim text began with "EMI RECORDS LTD." and ended with "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN". |
