this was an america only release. versions of beatles albums in the UK contained 14 tracks, whereas USA releases were only 12 tracks. songs on this album contained 8 tracks,released in the UK,on the album "a hard days night": "if i fell", "things we said today", i'm happy just dance with you", "tell me why", "and i love her", "when i get home", "i'll cry instead", "things we said today".

Yeah, Capitol was not only playing catch up, but were gonna milk this "fad" for all it was worth.

I really like the UK Beatles albums much better.

More songs on each one!

It takes a bit of getting used to, though, after decades of having the American album versions.

Good point, Jerry. Yeah, back in the day, we used to actually listen to whole albums and you really got it in your head what should come after what once you've heard it x-amount of times. Nowadays, everything is on "shuffle" and i can't remember when i listened to a whole CD end-to-end.

I like the American versions just fine-I grew up with them, just like you did-but they do have more songs. :)
