About
In the US, Capitol Records was preparing a new Beatles album to be released under the title “Yesterday And Today” in June 1966. In keeping with the record company’s policy for all the Beatles’ North American LPs until 1967, Capitol Records selected songs by culling from the albums the band released in Britain and from tracks issued on non-album singles outside North America. For this album, they selected:
- From the album “Help!”, the tracks “Yesterday” and “Act Naturally“
- From the album “Rubber Soul“, “Nowhere Man” and “What Goes On“
- Both sides of the double A-side single “Day Tripper” / “We Can Work It Out“
- From the not-yet-released album “Revolver“, the tracks “I’m Only Sleeping“, “Doctor Robert” and “And Your Bird Can Sing“.
On this day, from 1:45 pm to 3:30 pm, “I’m Only Sleeping“, “Doctor Robert” and “And Your Bird Can Sing” were mixed in mono to serve Capitol’s purpose. Those mixes were unique for this US release as those tracks would later be remixed for inclusion on “Revolver“.

The Beatles Recording Reference Manual - Volume 2 - Help! through Revolver (1965-1966)
The second book of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC)-nominated series, "The Beatles Recording Reference Manual: Volume 2: Help! through Revolver (1965-1966)" follows the evolution of the band from the end of Beatlemania with "Help!" through the introspection of "Rubber Soul" up to the sonic revolution of "Revolver". From the first take to the final remix, discover the making of the greatest recordings of all time.
Through extensive, fully-documented research, these books fill an important gap left by all other Beatles books published to date and provide a unique view into the recordings of the world's most successful pop music act.
If we like to think, in all modesty, that the Paul McCartney Project is the best online ressource for everything Paul McCartney, The Beatles Bible is for sure the definitive online site focused on the Beatles. There are obviously some overlap in terms of content between the two sites, but also some major differences in terms of approach.
