Default Bruno Towelray's Capitol Compilations

Hi!

I was just wondering if anyone else was familiar with these unofficial releases of the Beatles Capitol Albums. I collected some of these pieces in the late 1990's from various markets. Each CD had two Beatles Capitol Albums in stereo versions, without the proper cover art. The complier's name was Bruno Towelray but I don't know anything else about him.

I liked the compilations because they were the only stereo versions of the old albums, but of course the recent new versions are better than these.

The albums were compiled as follows:

The Early Beatles/Meet The Beatles
The Beatles Second Album/A Hard Day's Night
Something New/The Beatles Story
Beatles 65/Beatles VI
Help!/Rubber Soul
Yesterday And Today/Revolver
Sgt Pepper/Magical Mystery Tour

Default Bruno Towelray’s Beatles Capitol Versions

Hi - I don’t know if you’re still here (you wrote your post nearly “twenty years ago today”) but I actually have 7 of these (the eighth being “Rarities”). It’s possible there are more that I am unaware of. For a long time they were the only way to get the Capitol/U.S. versions on CD. I initially thought they became obsolete with the official release of The Capitol Albums Vol. 1 & 2 and, later, The U.S. Albums box set, but the Bruno Towelray CDs are actually quite unique and worth having, in my opinion. One example is Magical Mystery Tour, which Towelray refers to as “the German version of the American compilation,” which contains unique mixes throughout the album, with all tracks being in stereo, unlike the American and British releases.

John
