Perhaps because the band had adopted a policy of not including singles on their albums—and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was notably absent—the album is often perceived as surprisingly understated.\nHowever, the album’s content is packed with highlights, led by “It Won’t Be Long”—which showcases the Beatles’ signature call-and-response harmonies—along with tracks featuring John’s razor-sharp vocals, Paul’s breakthrough song “All My Loving,” George’s first original composition “Don’t Bother Me,” and “I Wanna Be Your Man”—a song Ringo sang that was originally written for the Rolling Stones—it’s packed with highlights. Making full use of overdubs such as piano and handclaps, this is a masterpiece that represents a significant leap forward in both production and musical quality.\nIn line with the production policies of the time, the “mono mix” was the standard until 2009, while the “stereo mix”—in which instruments are clearly separated between the left and right channels—was first released on CD in 2009. For fans, this “parting stereo mix” was the only downside.\nIt’s true that the mono recordings from that era are by far superior.\nHowever, the stereo mix—where the instruments spread across the left and right channels—holds great value.\nThis time, using a new master, we’ve achieved a stereo mix befitting the 21st century, with “each instrument positioned in a well-balanced manner across the left and right channels.”\nIncluding a rare version of the related single “I Want to Hold You” (B-side: “This Boy”), as well as various sessions and outtakes, this is the ultimate “With the Beatles Sessions” collection.\nIncludes detailed Japanese liner notes covering the circumstances of the time, anecdotes, track listings, and more.\n\n★Licensed by the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC)\nThe first-press edition includes a postcard reproducing a novelty item from that era.\nReleased by EternalGrooves as a DVD-sized digipak containing 2 CDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.It Won't Be Long (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e2.All I've Got To Do (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e3.All My Loving (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e4.Don't Bother Me (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e5.Little Child (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e6.Till There Was You (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e7.Please Mister Postman (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e8.Roll Over Beethoven (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e9.Hold Me Tight (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e10.You Really Got A Hold On Me (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e11.I Wanna Be Your Man (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e12.Devil In Her Heart (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e13.Not A Second Time (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e14.Money (WITH THE BEATLES Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e15.She Loves You (Singles Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e16.I'll Get You (Singles Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e17.I Want To Hold Your Hand (Singles Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e18.This Boy (Singles Alternate Stereo Mix)\u003cbr\u003e1.She Loves You (RS1 \/ John Barrett Stereo) (\"She Loves You\" single sessions)\u003cbr\u003e2.She Loves You (RS2 \/ John Barrett Stereo) (\"She Loves You\" single sessions)\u003cbr\u003e3.I'll Get You (Single Mono) (\"She Loves You\" single sessions)\u003cbr\u003e4.You Really Got a Hold on Me (US Capitol Stereo) (18 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEAT\u003cbr\u003e5.Money (US Capitol Stereo) (18 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" Sessions (day by\u003cbr\u003e6.Devil in Her Heart (US Capitol Stereo) (18 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" Sess\u003cbr\u003e7.Till There Was You (Working Mix) (18 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" Sessions (\u003cbr\u003e8.Please Mister Postman (US Capitol Stereo) (30 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" S\u003cbr\u003e9.It Wont Be Long (take 7 \/ Monitor Mix) (30 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" Sess\u003cbr\u003e10.It Wont Be Long (Working Mix) (30 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" Sessions (day\u003cbr\u003e11.Roll Over Beethoven (US Capitol Stereo) (30 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEATLES\" Ses\u003cbr\u003e12.All My Loving (Alternate Stereo \/ Hi hat intro) (30 July 1963 \/ EMI Studios, London) (\"WITH THE BEAT\u003cbr\u003e13.Hold Me Tight (take 20 \/ Chat -
