Well,ever-eager to have the latest Beatles product,I rushed out to a local shopping mall record store that had an unbelievably low price on the set,though I was concerned that I might get one of the defective sets,with the wrong mixes for the mono renditions of "Beatles VI" and "Rubber Soul",so,as soon as I got home,I immediately cued up the mono version of "I'm looking Through You",and it had the false start.MY HEART SANK.I got the defective pressing(the false start is only supposed to be on the stereo mix).As of the date of my writing this,Capitol still had yet to announce how we can get the corrected "Rubber Soul" & "Beatles VI" discs.I didn't listen to the rest of the set,because I was so brought down that Capitol was so careless.They can't be trusted to properly present The Beatles music any more today than in the 1960's.Really,what I would have prefered would have been a proper remaster of the original British albums(mono,stereo & perhaps surround) on SACD.Presenting the music from Capitol's 3rd generation tapes was a dubious idea to begin with(though I did like "The Capitol Albums Vol.1",and the set achieved what it set out to do).Capitol should have postponed the release of Vol.2,instead of disappointing me and thousands of others by shipping a half-baked(partly defective) turkey.
