After a long, long wait (nearly a decade!), the Beatles' first four American LPs — Meet the Beatles!, Second Album, Something New, Beatles '65 — finally make their CD debut, as part of the four-disc box set The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1. Each record is presented in both mono and stereo versions that replicate the sound of the original LPs — which means Second Album, for instance, is awash in overdubbed echo not heard on the British mixes. These mixes are given new remasters that are sonically superior to those on the original 1987 CDs. For baby boomers and Beatles fanatics, this set is well worth the wait.
