Are The Beatles UK Releases Better then The U.S. Versions?
435369
There a slight bit of differences between UK and US releases. In the 1960s, Beatles was handled by Capitol Records in the US and EMI in Europe. Some songs have been slightly removed or the tracklisting have been altered. Obviously throughout the years the rereleases have changed in both countries. The sound quality of the songs might have been also remastered differntly. A well known difference is the original US Harddaysnight and the British one. The latter I believe has more songs and has the instrumentals found in the film while the US one is just straightforward all the songs. Read around and decide. The Choice is yours..

The Beatles' achievements and contributions to popular music, and indeed international youth culture, were profound and wide-ranging. Their early original material fused elements of early American rock 'n roll, pop, and R&B into a new form of popular rock 'n roll, almost single-handedly kick-starting the British Invasion, laying the groundwork for the rock culture of the 1960s, and establishing the prototype for the self-contained rock group.\n\nThroughout their career, The Beatles balanced their huge popularity with increasingly experimental and boundary-pushing music that took cues from eclectic sources like folk, R&B, soul, music hall, classical, electronic, and Indian music while exploiting increasingly sophisticated technology and innovative recording techniques.\n\nIn this way, they helped pioneer more advanced, multi-layered arrangements in both rock and pop and were instrumental in the development of some of 1960s rock's dominant styles, such as folk-rock and psychedelia. As songwriters, they were among the most influential and harmonically sophisticated of the era, helping to push rock beyond its early blues and R&B forms and into more expansive territory. Critical evaluation of The Beatles legacy demonstrates that they "introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band of the 20th century".\n\nLennon is conventionally portrayed as having played the major role in steering The Beatles towards psychedelia (Rain and Tomorrow Never Knows from 1966, and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Strawberry Fields Forever and I Am the Walrus from 1967). Again following the lead set by Bob Dylan, Lennon renewed his interest in rootsy forms towards the close of The Beatles' career (e.g. Yer Blues from 1968 and Don't Let Me Down from 1969).\n\nPaul McCartney is usually cast as the group's romantic balladeer, and he displays a singular ear for melody and an arguably unrivalled facility for writing classic pop songs in a wide range of genres, ranking alongside Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and the Gershwin brothers as one of the greatest popular song writers of the 20th century. However, in recent years since the deaths of Lennon and Harrison, he has insisted in a number of media interviews that he was far more involved in the London avant garde scene than was Lennon, and that he was in some respects the more "experimental" of the two.\n\nBeginning with his evocative but understated use of a string quartet on Yesterday (1965), McCartney pioneered a modern form of art song, exemplified by the double-quartet string arrangement on Eleanor Rigby (1966), Here, There and Everywhere (1966) and She's Leaving Home (1967). He also created many of the tape loops used on Tomorrow Never Knows and experimented with musique concrete techniques and electronic instruments, as well as creating many experimental audiovisual works. His interest in the music of Bach led him to use a piccolo trumpet in his arrangement of Penny Lane and, although the Mellotron at the start of Strawberry Fields Forever belonged to Lennon, it was McCartney who played it.\n\nMcCartney retained his affection for the driving R&B of Little Richard in a series of songs Lennon dubbed "potboilers", from I Saw Her Standing There (1963) to Lady Madonna (1968). Helter Skelter (1968), arguably an early heavy metal song, is also a McCartney composition. McCartney's lyrical style evolved a more detached, literary stance than in the increasingly personal and confessional work of Lennon, and Lennon was reported to have become more critical of McCartney's writing in the mid-Sixties.\n\nIn 1965 Harrison broke new ground in pop by playing an Indian sitar on Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). His long collaboration with Sri Ravi Shankar, a famous Hindustani Musician, influenced several of his compositions, some of which were based on Hindustani forms — most notably Love You To (1966), Within You Without You

Lennon if I had to pick.  Together they were way better than each on their own.  I do like the answer before mine though!

Ive been a big fan of U.K. music since I was a teen listening to stuff like Duran Duran,Thompson Twins,Simple Minds,Talk Talk,The Cure,Siouxsie and the Banshees,Depeche Mode,Vicious Pink,The Smiths,Bauhaus,Kate Bush,Roxy Music...and so on....\nThe thing about British music is that theyve always strived to be different and creative with their music.They always put their heart and soul into it rather than trying to make music to make money.Thats whats wrong with american music,its all bandwagon.In America,if one band makes a lot of money then every other band in that genre is going to try to copy that sound so they can make money also. Over here in America its not about originality and quality anymore its all about money now.Thats why all the music here sounds alike and its all saying the same thing.Commercial radio is at its worst now.All the r&b sounds alike,all the rock sounds alike,all the rap sounds alike, etc...Not even does just the music sounds alike but all the lyrics are saying the same thing also,NO ORIGINALITY!!\nBut in the U.K. artists believe in expressing themselves, and being different from everyone else.They dont compromise their art/music for money,You dont find too many SELL-OUTS from the U.K. And people in the U.K. are not TONE DEAF like people here in the USA,British people know how to listen to music also,thats why the music there is so awesome.I love my country(USA),but our music sux!!!All great music came from the U.K. EXAMPLE:\nrolling stones, the beatles, led zeppelin, genesis, black sabbath, traffic, the who, the orb, stereolab, roxy music,david bowie,bryan ferry,new order,groove collective,pink floyd,sasha & john digweed,DiY,Ministry Of Sound,Defected,Fabric,\nRenaissance,massive attack,thievery corporation, i could go on and on....

No Beatles single was released on that date.\n\nI hope you dont mean Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Into the Great Wide Open" (which sounds a lot like "Free as a Bird"), which was released in July of 1991

Mull of Kintyre.\n\nIt reached and stayed at number 1 in the UK for nine weeks and for several years held the record as the highest-selling single in the UK.\n\nOne place where it was not a major hit was the United States, where it only managed to make it to number 33 on the pop singles charts, and that was as the B-side of "Girls School", not the A-side. As a consequence, McCartney has not played "Mull of Kintyre" during his subsequent concert tours of America, only adding it back on forays into Canada.
