Beatles Era On 2 Double Pack Albums
NEW YORK — “The History of the Beatles,” will be issued by Apple on two separate double disk LP sets in the near future. The first two-disker will feature the works of the Beatles covering 1962-1966 and the second double pack will cover 1967-1970. The two sets will be issued simultaneously and will feature many of the group’s singles smashes that were never made available in LP form.
The cover art for the two packages will feature a photo of the Beatles taken shortly after the boys signed with EMI in the EMI offices in England. The photo has the four boys leaning over a banister, all sporting short hair cuts. This photo will be used on the 1962-1966 LT. For the later set, the photo to be used is one in the identical pose but featuring the boys in long hair. John Lennon brought the Beatles together to the exact same banister in 1970 at the EMI building for a duplicate photo showing the change in the group’s look.
Each two disk set will have a suggested $9.98 retail price.
