A Hard Day's Night - Stereo (Optimal Source Series)
This is the second CD in the Optimal Source Series. I'm putting together albums from the best available existing sources. All of the albums in this series will be from multiple sources. These are mostly remastered sources, but some are remixed. For remixes, I've stayed away from remixes that are significantly different than original mixes. Usually the only difference is the stereo placement. At this point I'm not planning on issuing Abbey Road or Sgt Peppers. That's because the entire Toshiba Black Triangle CD is the best source for Abbey Road, and the Ebbetts Blue Box is the best for Sgt Peppers.
"A Hard Day's Night" mostly collects songs from the Ebbetts Blue Box and the Capitol CD releases. I also threw on bonus tracks of Mono mixes that are different from the Stereo, one being from the US Singles Ebbetts set.
