In addition, the newly included bi-fold insert features an essay by American Beatles researcher/author Bruce Spizer. In addition, the lacquer vinyl was newly cut by Kevin Reeves at East Iris Studios in Nashville. Mastering NotesThese albums were cut to analog using the original master tapes. Only the analog signal path was used, always referring to the sound of the original album's earliest pressings.The analog recordings were produced using a Studer A80 master recorder with analog preview and program pass functions, and a Neumann VMS70 cutting machine installed at Capitol Studios in 1971. By using analog equipment throughout the entire cutting process, it is possible to faithfully reproduce the range and dynamics recorded on the original tapes.＜Includes a Japanese obi that reproduces the design of the first Japanese LP obi (*Only "The Beatles '65" has an obi featuring the design of "Beatles for Sale").
