Beatles' recording engineer pens book

Memoirs by Beatles "insiders" vary widely in quality. Oftentimes, the books are nothing more than an opportunity to get in some cheapshots and earn some cash, offering little in the way of valuable information or insight. Sometimes a person portraying him- or herself as insider had very limited actual interaction with the band.

But "Here, There and Everywhere : My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles," by recording engineer Geoff Emerick should be interesting. Emerick really was an insider. Along with the band's producer George Martin he was truly there, inside Abbey Road studios taking a hand in shaping the group's songs and sound from Revolver through the Abbey Road album.

The book is due out later this week and features a foreward by Elvis Costello

Beatles Capitol Albums Vol. 2 cover art, details

Due out April 11, this is the second box set collecting the Beatles output as originally presented by their U.S. record label in the 1960s. It's available for pre-order now from Amazon.

Remastered in 24-bit sound, it includes both the mono and stereo mixes of The Early Beatles, Beatles VI, Help! and Rubber Soul

So how are these different from the Beatles albums we've had available on CD since the late 1980s? Well, for older Americans, these are the albums you grew up hearing and first bought on L.P. That's because, up until the release of Sgt. Pepper, Capitol took lots of liberties with the Beatles albums, changing and cutting track listings in order to release more albums than the band released in their homeland.

Whereas most British releases carried about 14 tunes, their American albums offered only 11 or 12.

The British albums present the music as the band intended, but the Capitol versions still hold nostalgic charm. Some of the mixes vary too. For example, this second box set includes a version of Help! featuring a dramatic "James Bond"-instrumental intro added especially for the "Help!" movie. And the American mix of "I'm Looking Through You" on Rubber Soul features a false start lopped off the British release of the song.

Also, the American Help! is a blend of Beatles tunes and instrumental tracks from the film while the British version is strictly Beatles.

Here's the look at the track listings for the set:

The Early Beatles
* Love Me Do
* Twist and Shout
* Anna (Go To Him)
* Chains
* Boys
* Ask Me Why
* Please Please Me
* P.S. I Love You
* Baby It’s You
