THE BEATLES / COMPLETE JAPANESE SINGLE COLLECTION 2 [2CD]

★ Chronologically covers every single released in Japan from 1964 to 1982. Features original sound sources for 56 early-era tracks and 40 late-era tracks, including unique Japanese couplings.

★ Fully reproduces the distinct warmth of vinyl through direct audio transfers from original period record pressings.

★ Includes full-color reproductions of all nostalgic, iconic Japanese artwork, complete with alternate sleeve designs.

As the Beatles' popularity exploded worldwide in the 1960s, Japan saw a steady stream of unique local albums and singles tailored specifically for its market. During an era driven by single hits, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was unexpectedly rushed out as their Japanese debut in February 1964 ahead of the planned "Please Please Me," setting off a near-monthly cadence of releases. Featuring unique track selections beyond standard UK/US issues, these Japanese pressings—and their distinct, eye-catching cover art—have long been prized by Beatles collectors globally.

While the Beatles' entire catalog has since been digitally remastered under global standards, cutting and mastering varied by region in the '60s, making the distinct characteristics of these early analog cuts highly sought after today. This collection focuses strictly on original period sound, capturing direct transfers from original record pressings to faithfully recreate that authentic analog warmth. Singles through the late '60s are presented in their raw, punchy mono mixes, delivering a vintage, lo-fi texture directly opposed to modern digital sound—marking the first complete collection of pre-CD, analog-era Japanese single audio from 1964 to 1982.

Additionally, the release documents every nostalgic Japanese sleeve design in chronological order, including alternate jackets from later reissues. Serving as a true memorial that brings back the sound of the Beatles as heard on vinyl and radio in the '60s, this is an indispensable ultimate collector's item!
