60年代から世界各国で独自に存在した、ビートルズのシングルや編集アルバムに収録されていた数多くのミックス違いや、編集の異なるオルタネイト・バージョンをまとめた貴重なアナログ音源集大成が最新リマスター新編集の『ザ・レアリティーズ・コレクションI＆II』としDAPレーベルより登場！
ビートルズの公式スタジオ音源は、2009年リマスターにより世界標準のステレオ＆モノ・マスターで統一され、かつての世界各国独自の音源の多くは当時のレコードでしか聴くことが出来なくなりました。
このコレクションでは、60年代からのオリジナル音源や、70年代から80年代にかけてリリースされた数多くの編集盤に収録された未CD化音源や入手困難なレア・ミックスを、それぞれ当時のレコードやテープ原盤からアナログならではの音の質感を残しつつ、最新リマスターで完全デジタル化。
現在の世界標準統一音源だけでは聴くことの出来ない、レコード時代の封印されたレア音源を網羅したビートルズ音源コレクター必携の研究資料として大推薦のコレクターズ・エディション決定版の登場です！！
[コレクターズ・ポイント]
『ザ・レアリティーズ・コレクション I』には、”ステレオ・マスターズ”としてUSキャピトルでリリースされていたアメリカ独自の擬似ステレオや、再リミックス音源からハイハットで始まる「オール・マイ・ラヴィング」、「抱きしめたい」の65年ステレオ・ミックス、「アンド・アイ・ラブ・ハー」のロング・バージョン、「ペニー・レイン」のトランペット・エンディング等のお馴染みの音源はもちろん、エコーやセパレイションが微妙に異なるミックスをほぼ時系列に全５６トラックをCD2枚に収録。
『ザ・レアリティーズ・コレクション II』の方はCD1が”モノ・マスターズ”として、オリジナル・シングル原盤ならではのミックスや、英本国より先行リリースするため数々のミックス違いを生んでしまったアメリカ独自のモノ・ミックス、珍しい8トラック・テープにのみ収録された「ア・ハード・デイズ・ナイト」の最長バージョン、そしてアルバム『リボルバー』英初盤でしか聴けない幻の「トゥモロウ・ネバー・ノウズ」（マトリクス1）まで厳選された全30トラックを収録。
CD2は”アディショナル・マスターズ”として、これまでに未収録となっているステレオ＆モノ音源を追加収録。70年代から80年代にかけてあらためて作り直したUSキャピトル特有の再リミックス音源はじめ、オーストラリアのみでリリースされた「抱きしめたい」のセパレーションが全く異なる珍しい別ミックス、ブラジルや日本でのみリリースされたモノラル・シングルまで全27トラックを収録。いずれもオリジナルのレコード原盤やテープ・ソースから収録されたアナログ音源の集大成となっています。
