Capitol US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Few have ever matched the beautiful harmonies of The Beach Boys, so what could be better than those lovely vocal tones being applied to your favourite Christmas classics? The special Record Store Day RSD Black Friday 2023 release comes in limited quantities on festive green vinyl and is the ultimate Beach Boys Christmas Album. Across both sides, we're treated to delightful takes on the standards such as 'We Three Kings Of Orient Are,' 'The Man With All The Toys' and '"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town'. Lovely stuff.

Review: To coincide with the release of Peter Jackson's new documentary series about the Beatles' ill-fated Get Back project, we're being treated to a string of new editions of the band's final album, Let It Be. The focal point is a brand new (and pleasingly sympathetic) stereo mix of the album from Giles Martin, who has cleaned up the vocals and instrumentation while paring back some of the saccharine orchestration that was controversially added by Phil Spector. With varying goodies coming with a selection of deluxe, superdeluxe etc editions, if you're a Beatles fan then you need this in your life.
