Here's a bit of rare film of The Beatles from 1964 at The Paris Olympia.
While they were in Paris, they recorded Can't Buy Me Love and German versions of two of their songs including this one, Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand.
Later, the band concentrated on studio work. In fact 45 years ago yesterday, they performed their final concert of their final tour at Candlestick Park. After that they became a band focused on their studio work (they had already evolved light years ahead of Can't Buy Me Love on Revolver)
They not only spent more hours in the studio, but they began to sit in and provide input in to their mixing sessions. At the time, mono was the standard way folks listened to music and The Beatles concentrated their time on supervising mono mixes. The White Album was the first time the band started to take stereo seriously.
All the band's mono mixes are collected on The Beatles in Mono ($350). All the original mixes from Please Please Me to The White Album (The later albums were released in stereo only and are not represented here).
Also inlcuded are the original sixties stereo mixes of Rubber Soul and Help.
The collection also includes non album singles and EP tracks such as our German friend Komm Gib Mir...
The CDs are housed in miniature vinyl replica sleeves including inner sleeves and inserts.
Here's some more info on the mono box...
All good stuff!!
