Brian Husar "1st masterpiece". Could NOT agree more. The UK version of 'A Hard Days Night' is the best Beatles album hands down. Every single song on it is a self-contained pop music gem. They wrote more assured, mature and nuanced songs after this, but the combination of youth, enthusiasm and exuberance caused them to write some of the best pop songs ever. Yeah, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road were great. They just weren't as much fun.

The Beatles themselves didn't have much involvement with U.S. album art until U.S. albums aligned with British. "Meet the Beatles" was one that was theirs; "Help!" was also theirs, although Capitol re-arranged them compared to the UK cover. "Rubber Soul" was where they started matching regularly, although there was no UK "Yesterday and Today" or "Hey Jude". HJ itself does actually MOSTLY precede "Let It Be" - 7 tracks predate the LIB sessions (all of side 1 plus title track), one track is FROM them ("Don't Let Me Down") and 2 came after ("Ballad of John & Yoko", "Old Brown Shoe").

We had to respect them to some degree because, and we somehow knew at the time, that George Martin produced those instrumentals. He was already being labeled the 5th Beatle by then!

The American And I Love Her mono version is single tracked vocal. The UK stereo an mono are the double tracked version. By the way, the German Something New, has a longer version of And I Lve Her. The ending coda is 6 run verses the standard version of 4.When Capitol reissued the U/A version for CD, it's in full stereo, and also has the mono mixes on it. But I'll Cry Instead is the short version in stereo.

Throughout its US vinyl release (even after being released on the Capitol label when they purchased the UA catalogue), the stereo LP continued to use the fake stereo master. The UA album had unique mixes because the studio was given these early mixes for the film. Also, two of the Martin Instrumentals did turn up in the film - Ringo’s Theme and A Hard Day’s Night...during Ringo’s feature segment and the chase that gets the Beatles back to the television studio for the final show.

The other reason why I would go with the U.K. version because all the songs are in true stereo mix and it doesn't have those silly four instrumental tracks which I don't think were played in the movie.. The U.S. version is in re-channeled stereo. I also think the graphics on the U.K. version look better than the U.S. version. Therefore I would prefer the U.K. version of the album.

Paul's voice cracks on one of the parts of the song, where in production, they cleaned up Paul's cracked voice by editing and replacing it with the first time around. Tell Me Why, John's phrasing on the second verse doesn't appear on ANY OF THE SOUNDTRACK. When you watch the concert scene in A Hard Day's Night, check out the part, if you don't I really can't go on, it's different than the soundtrack version.

The main difference, as I recall, is John sings "change my mind" in three straight rather hurried 16th notes on the album version heard most of the time today, compared to the 8th and two 16th notes on the mono or 45 version. Other mono recordings were better, too, including "Money" and "And I Love Her." On the latter tune, I never cared for the double-tracked Paul vocal in the stereo version (probably because I first had the mono record); in the mono version it was single-tracked and a lot more effective.

Capitol copied the way United Artists released the soundtrack of A Hard Day's Night when they released the soundtrack of Help!. If you look at both albums, you'll see that Capitol like UA released the songs from the film along with its instrumentals to fill out the album. This was more common back in the 60s than it is now. That's the basic reason (in addition more money by releasing more albums) that both UA and Capitol released both albums in the same format.

Hey Rodger, Ah man, I'll get to Revolver, I promise. I did read that Ringo came up with the title as just one of the many things he said. Would've been cool to hang with those cats back in the day. As far as collectability and price, it all comes down to the demand and the supply. Since the UK versions are more rare in the States than US versions, I would say they good for more, but that really depends on the buyer. Someone who grew up with the US versions, would probably not want the UK versions, and not hold them with a high value. Someone like myself, see both as equal and probably would want to pay the same for both. The only mark up maybe the shipping costs if you are buying from another country. Also most price guides I have, only have US releases, so the only I can go by are completed ebay listings, which aren't always the most accurate prices. I think the common factors by which you could judge any release are condition and if it's an original pressing or not. Sometimes high quality reissues can fetch more but not usually.

It's true that U.S. AHDN didn't have stereo mixes, but they didn't make "fake stereo" in the usual sense. Rather, they played with the "placement" of the sound to create stereo "gimmicks": for instance, in "Can't Buy Me Love" they have the mono sound more toward one side (been so long I forget which) into the line "I don't care too...", then suddenly switch to the other side for "much for money", and back over for the rest ("money can't buy me love..."). Note about the George Martin tracks: two of them are actually used in the film - AHDN and 'Ringo's Theme' (This Boy); the other two are NOT used. Anyroad, a more meaningful comparison might be between UK AHDN and Capitol's "Something New", which, unlike U.S. AHDN, has several songs from side 2 of UK AHDN, and no George Martin. It is, however, lacking AHDN itself, "I Should Have Known Better" and CBML from the film (the last two of which Capitol would eventually include in the Apple-branded "Hey Jude" album), plus "You Can't Do That" (which Capitol had already put on "Beatles Second Album") and "I'll Be Back", which they saved for "Beatles '65" months later. It also includes three songs not related to UK AHDN: "Slow Down", "Matchbox" and "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand". In fact, both U.S. albums have EIGHT songs in common with UK AHDN, just different sets. SN does at least have stereo mixes for the stereo album. It should be noted here that mono SN also has the 'extended' "I'll Cry Instead", but NOT the stereo LP (although timing notes on the back of the LP give the time of the longer mono in both editions). The fact that, in the first place, there is the length difference between mono ICI in the U.S. and the UK points to a larger fact: the mono mixes of all the AHDN-based songs in the U.S. are different from the UK mono mixes, where the U.S. mixes of the FILM songs hew more closely to the mono mixes that were originally in the film itself (Paul NOT double-tracked in the verses of "And I Love Her", for example), and the 'side 2' songs are different as well (such as ICI). Obscure point: the U.S. mono mix of "Any Time at All" can be heard in the corresponding segment of the Beatles' Cartoon series!

For album sleeve I prefer the US one but or content the UK one. Now... gotta say this whole thing about I"ll Cry Instead being edited down for the UK version is not accurate. The UK version is the official version. This song was recorded in two parts. After 6 takes, it was decided the song was too short for the sequence it was going to be used for. 2 more takes were recorded later. The reason the "US version" is longer (only in mono) is because it was edited from two recordings spliced together, and not very well actually. However, this is how it ended up with a 3rd verse which was used from a different take. If you listen to that part very carefully you can hear the edits on the US version, and it sounds rushed. It also should've been mentioned that the US mono mix is the only true mono mix. The UK mono version is a fold-down of the stereo one. There are so far only 3 ways to have the true mono mix, the US' A Hard Days Night, US' Something New (in mono) or the Capitol single.

'A Hard Day's Night' is probably the Beatles' first great album - and, as ever, because they are a British band - the UK version will always be the better of the two compared to the US version. The presenter of these videoclip presentations misses a key point, however; the inclusion of material aimed at a so-called 'older' market in addition to younger listeners - instrumental versions of Beatles' songs; cover versions of classic songs from film musicals; songs like 'When I'm 64' - were all shrewd and commercially-driven decisions to ensure that the band continued to appeal to all age groups throughout its career.

"I'll Cry Instead" was originally going to be played during the scene where the Beatles escape and play in the field. Richard Lester overruled the person who wanted it in and replaced it with "Can't Buy Me Love." I guess years later the movie was re-released to select theaters and the guy slipped "I'll Cry Instead," back in there expecting to be vindicated. Apparently he was not as the audience was left shaking their heads about the switch. I grew up in the U.S. and we owned a copy of the United Artists release. Another commenter mentioned this already but the versions of "If I Fell," and "And I Love Her," are much cleaner on the UA version (no double track vocals or reverb). That alone makes it worth the price of admission, especially the "And I Love Her," track. I agree the instrumentals were a bit hokey but I did kinda liked "Ringo's Theme," an instrumental version of "This Boy," tastefully done. From what I understand, Richard Lester and George Martin did not get along at all so George was pretty much cut out of the decision process when it came to the musical score for this movie and Help. IMO A Hard Day's Night still stands up well as a movie almost 60 years later. It's witty and irreverent and captures the spirit of who the Beatles were when they still enjoyed being Fab. It is much better than Help and better than most of the movies that Elvis pumped out. It's too bad the Beatles signed onto make five movies for UA. If they had just done A Hard Days Night their movie career, short though it may have been, would not have been tarnished. I suppose the only other Beatle movie I have a soft spot for is Yellow Submarine, one where the band only makes a cameo appearance. By the time you get to Let it Be you can tell that was what they wished someone would do with their contractual commitment to UA. But if you want a bit of nostalgia, you can stream A Hard Days Night on Amazon and it's also part of the HBO-MAX catalog. If you or a friend have a subscription to either service, dial it up. I did just a few weeks ago and it was a kick, not only because it's a fun movie, but the Beatles are young, just like I was when I first saw it so many years ago. And that memory made it worth the trip.

Wait...you never heard the USA instrumental tracks?? I was 10 when this came out. Back then, we pretty much had no choice but to listen. After all, they were on the film..and not bad at all. Back then, my record player was not stereo. While I do agree tbe UK version is better, my heart stays with the USA version. Of course now, I have the CD with all songs in mono, then all again in srereo. Plus, I've both album versions on CD, (I tend to go a bit nuts with Beatle CDs). Enough for now, thank you for these videos...I'll be watching!

Man, there's so many different versions of Beatles albums, Collectors must really have a field day with this one. So far there's US Mono Vs US Stereo Vs UK (mono vs stereo?) Vs 2014 Mono Vs 2014 Stereo. That's a lot of records.

The UK version of AHDN was a collection of songs, some of which appeared in the movie. The US version was a movie soundtrack, a collection of tunes and incidental music used in the movie. It is a souvenir of the movie. A sound...track. US Help is the same way, a souvenir of the movie and it opens with the little james bond lick that opened the movie. The UK version was a collection of songs some of which were used in the movie. If you want a souvenir of the films the US versions are preferable

All of the UK Beatle albums are far superior to the US versions-with the possible exception of Rubber Soul, where the US version has a certain folk/jangle pop vibe.

These are very different albums, with their own individual merits. The United Artists 🇺🇸release was based on the soundtrack of A Hard Day’s Night, which includes instrumentals by Sir George Martin. The UK 🇬🇧 release was a Beatles album which included songs from the film. My only choice at the time was the UA 🇺🇸 album, which had to be complemented with Capitol’s Something New. IMO, Ringo’s Theme (This Boy) is an essential track, not available in the UK version.

Well done video... but before I even watched your video I'd figured you'd prefer the UK version. I love the US soundtrack, and the reason it has instrumentals on it is because it is "a movie soundtrack". In particular, "Ringo's Theme" is a very important sequence in the film.

I agree that the UK version is superior. It IS a Beatjles album. But, UA came up with two albums: "A Hard Day's Night" which is the soundtrack album, and "Something New" (with the Sullivan show performance still on its cover), which seem to have the balance of the other songs missing. Even UA got two albums out of what would be just one.

In the sixties in the US a lot of the young kids were into orchestra music since the Beatles didn't arrive till 1964 and it was still very popular among teens at that time. I know a lady who said she never listened to Rock and Roll till she heard the Beatles. She was into orchestra music, partly from being in the school orchestra. Orchestra music wasn't just YOUR PARENTS MUSIC at that time. It was still a very current style at that time, so putting the orchestra versions on the album is not so unusual. Once again the US and British opinions of what belongs on the albums is very different. In America it was standard to put recordings of any songs used in a film on the soundtrack album. In England they didn't think it was a good idea to put orchestra songs on a Beatles album especially since there were so many extra songs written for the album by the Beatles and because the Beatles didn't actually play on the songs. So why would the kids want to hear them anyway. I kinda like the US version because it reminds me of the movie. And in the sixties there was no way you could own the movie. The next best thing was the soundtrack album. It served it's purpose at the time.
