BEATLES-LONG TALL SALLY canada CAPITOL 6000 MONO LP bonus 45 cuts
This Lp is the last in a series of
unique Canada only Beatles LPs.
The Graphics, Packaging, Catalogue number, Track listing are unique to the 6000 series
Vinyl pressing quality (top notch) and unique Mono production by Paul White.
When putting this together we found the rarest pre 1965 Capitol Beatles
7" 45rpm single. So we added this as a bonus to the collection
because it was released just days before this LP,
released 20 April 1964
"Do You Want To Know A Secret"/"Thank You Girl" (Capitol Canada 72159)
and Long Tall Sally on the 27th of April. Very cool they left those 45
cuts off the LP.
45 released : 20 April 1964
"Do You Want To Know A Secret"/"Thank You Girl" (Capitol Canada 72159)

The Beatles in Canada
- a survey of early Beatles releases by Capitol Records of Canada
I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, "The Beatles did."
Kurt Vonnegut
There is a game people like to play that goes, "When would you most like to have lived and why?" The Italian Renaissance? Mozart's Vienna? Shakespeare's England? Personally, I would like to have been around Bach. But I have a real difficulty with the game, which is that living at any other period of history would have meant missing the Beatles, and I honestly don't think I could do that. Mozart and Bach and Shakespeare are always with us, but I grew up with the Beatles and I'm not sure what else has affected me as much as that.
Douglas Adams, from The Salmon of Doubt (who also deserves a tribute himself.)
"He was a giant, a great, great soul, with all of the humanity, all of the wit and humor, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people. He inspired love and had the strength of a hundred men. He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon and we will miss him enormously. The world is a profoundly emptier place without him."
- Bob Dylan (on George Harrison)
My own tribute: Remembering George and Eric Idle's tribute
Check out Frederick Harrison's article 1963 in the US and Canada for his view of the very early days of pre-Beatlemania in Canada (contrasted with the experience in the US). Also linked is a scan of an early hits chart with Please Please Me at number 27. More information at the Capitol of Canada "6000" series page. In addition (thanks to Andrew Croft for bringing this to my attention) here is an early CHUM chart from 2 December 1963 showing the first listing of She Loves You in the Toronto area.
Of course, post-Sullivan things really got jumping ...

Remembering the Beatles in Montreal
There is a great wealth of information on the net about the Beatles discography insofar as it concerns the UK and the US. Other countries have generally been shortchanged1 in this regard, however, (with the possible exception of Germany and Japan). I would like to add the following short article covering the early Canadian discography, which was significantly different from either the UK or the US history. Capitol Canada was much faster than its American cousin to take up the opportunity offered by EMI, with the result that Canadians experienced Beatlemania sooner than those poor unfortunates who lived south of the border. Capitol Canada did however have the familiar unhappy habit of repackaging the UK albums (in two cases out of three), making the Canadian release history unique. Personally, I prefer the UK releases, even if I had to wait for the CD reissues before I became familiar with them, but like many of my generation, I do have a warm spot in my heart for those battered disks of vinyl with the "6000" series Capitol logo. At least one of the two "official compilations" (which is what I think the North American albums ought to be called) had a lovely cover: "Twist and Shout" bears one of the famous "jump" shots, the one used in the UK for the "Twist and Shout" EP, naturally enough.
I have listed below what I can gather of the releases in Canada of "principal" Beatles material in 1963-64. I have not included re-releases, nor pseudo-compilations like the "The Beatles vs The Four Seasons", the Tony Sheridan sessions, or the pseudo-documentary "The Beatles Story" -- in any event I believe the Canadian history essentially follows the US release history as far as those go. Furthermore, I have stopped this list at 1964, since thereafter Canadian releases are generally the same as the US ones. (There are some exceptions, since Capitol Canada has always been a separate company -- even today, EMI Canada is distinct, and releases in Canada bear its logo. The main differences in US and Canadian recent issues: for Paul's "All the Best" we got the UK version, not the US one, and we did not get as many typos in our release of "Live at the BBC" :-}.) The following information is based on several sources (including my own old collection of vinyl). Two particular debts are to a posting on rec.music.misc by Bob Pietkivitch , and a posting on rec.music.beatles by Gary Flinn . I have not been able to check all of the information in the RMM article; any corrections or additions (or suggestions for improvement) will be most welcome.
PostScript: Some errors and additions have been pointed out to me by Gilles Valiquette; I have made the corresponding changes, with thanks for the help. Some other dates come from Tim Brent and Andrew Croft. Thanks to them all. Further improvements are still welcome. Those interested in Canadian Beatles history ought to check out Steve Clifford's Beatles page.
I have added the "official" release dates, as given by EMI Canada. These, and other information on the Canadian experience, may be found at the Capitol 6000 site. Any other claimed dates are given in brackets - you can be the judge! Thanks to Piers Hemmingsen for these updates.

powerless to stop it ... It's Beatlemania! This Liverpool group
play to packed houses wherever they go ...
Sandy Gardiner

Sinatra ... Four pop idols for the price of one ...
Alan Harvey
At the Royal Variety Performance Show ... The Queen Mother
beamed ...

I'm not sure of the point of a blog like yours. Oh yeah, I forgot...you're trying to be hipp.
ReplyDeleteHi Llywarch.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess we get extra "trying to be hip" points for offering the extra 45s.
Who knew, but you?
Great info on the Canadian beatles discograpy. I have a question regarding the album that you compiled (i.e. Long Tall Sally Mono with the bonus 45), was this taken directly from the LP and 45 and transfered on CD. Was it a needle drop?
ReplyDeleteAgain thanks for the info. Being from Canada, I always loved the unique Canadian Beatles releases.
Cheers.
It was a transfer yes from both 1st Canadian vinyl pressings. I consider Needledrops rushed affairs with general equipment. I use archival quality gear and transfer at 24/96 and then reduce down to CD redbook for sharing. Peace!
