You missed the earlier thread where braindead was accusing Wollensack of being a lying troll and that his information was made up. Ron showed his true colors as a consummate asshole and also revealed his non-insider status.

Capitol Beatles Box Set Vol 2 - Apr 11 Release Date?
I might be handed my lunch on this, but since no one has done so...I'm calling you on this. NO WAY, you received the set yet. We ALL know the about the airbrushing, so that's nothing new. The packaging has been discussed on other forums....and all you say is it sounds great, with the caveat that the mono Rubber Soul MAY be a fold down. Saying you can't divulge how you were able to obtain this 2 weeks early And saying Spizer wrote the liner notes just as he did for the first set...sorry man, I just don't believe you.
There was not a single "correction" made to any of the unique mixes on Vol. 1 Not a single anomoly from these mixes was altered. Now you're saying NEW fold down mixes have been used? Ted knows his stuff, Spizer knows his stuff...in fact, the press release tells in detail WHAT mixes would be on the set, even touting the horrid duophonic mixes. It's inconceivable this has occurred. If somehow you got an advanced copy, THAT IS A LEGITIMATE SET...perhaps you're listening to the STEREO mixes?? There's no chance in hell that the false start preceeds the mono mix of I'm Looking Through You. And the two other tracks you mention, You Like Me To Much and Norwegian Wood wouldn't have their anomolies on the stereo mixes either....I seriously think something is up here.
Sorry Wollensack, I don't know you, and I rarely ever call people out, but I have sources very close to the situation and I find it extremely doubtful you have a legitimate advanced copy. According to my rep at Capitol, the US sets, have not left the pressing plants yet. This may all sound harsh, but I have to write what I believe. Fellow members fear not....Jensen would never make new mono mixes from stereo sources or "fix" anomolies on the masters themselves...this is laughable. Ron

There are MANY other examples, but this one is at the top of the heap.
