Description

Sealed, never opened. Released in 1976 Capitol Records EMI Records The album cover has a cutout in the bottom right corner. Overall I think the condition of the album is in great shape for being 40 years old.
Album Number: SKBO-11537
Released just after the Beatles contract with EMI expired, Rock N' Roll Music was the first in a series of releases by EMI featuring repackaged Beatles music. Many fans were disappointed by the release and subsequent repackaged releases, awaiting the release of previously unavailable material rather than music they already owned. The album marked the first appearance of I'm Down on an LP in the US. The cover art was controversial as it featured iconic 1950s imagery which predated the Beatles' success, prompting Ringo to complain to Rolling Stone, "It made us look cheap and we never were cheap. All that Coca-Cola and cars with big fins was the Fifties!" John hated the cover so much that he offered a drawing to be used instead, but was turned down, and artwork by an artist named Ignacio Gomez was used instead. Rock N' Roll Music is out of print and has not officially been released digitally or on compact disc.

The George Martin remixes

Producer George Martin was "appalled" to learn that EMI planned on using twin track mono mixes for several early tracks. Rather than approve the album as it was presented to him, Martin remixed every track, modernizing the sound on Twist And Shout, I Saw Her Standing There, I Wanna Be Your Man, Boys, and Roll Over Beethoven by moving the vocal track in the mix and reversing the stereo. The Capitol US release used these remixes.
