The album is the third Capitol LP release and fifth American album release overall by the band, following the United Artists release of A Hard Day's Night. The album includes eight songs from the original British release of A Hard Day's Night, as well as the tracks "Slow Down" and "Matchbox" from the Long Tall Sally EP and the German-language version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand". The mono version also featured the extended single mix of "I'll Cry Instead", while stereo editions included a shorter edit from the UK release of A Hard Day's Night.


Release history


Originally scheduled for 1 August 1964,[2] the album was rush-released on 20 July 1964, ten days after the British release of A Hard Day's Night. It was released in both mono and stereo versions. All mono mixes of the five songs duplicated from the United Artists soundtrack album are identical on both releases. Something New was the only early Capitol Beatles album to contain all tracks in true stereo. The mono release contains alternative versions of "Any Time At All" (a different mix during the instrumental bridge), "I'll Cry Instead" (with the "missing" third verse), "When I Get Home" (the line "Till I walk out that door again" during the song's bridge has a different vocal passage from the UK mono mix), "If I Fell" (Lennon's non-double-tracked introductory vocal), and "And I Love Her" (McCartney's non-double-tracked vocal).

This album was also released on the Parlophone label for sale only on American Armed Forces bases in Europe. These copies have great collector value. The album was also issued in Germany on the Odeon label. The German stereo version contains a reprocessed stereo version of "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" and an extended version of "And I Love Her", repeating the closing riff six times instead of four. This mix was later released on the US version of Rarities.[3]

In 2004, Something New was released for the first time on CD as part of The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 box set (catalogue number CDP 7243 8 66876 2 3) containing the US mixes for both mono and stereo. In 2014, the album was released on CD again, both individually, and included in the boxed set The US Albums, which contained the album's running order but with UK mixes as remastered in 2009.

[ru] Something New

Something New (с англ. — «Что-то новое») — студийный альбом английской рок-группы The Beatles, издан в 1964 году, третий из альбомов, выпущенных Capitol Records, всего из американских изданий — пятый, следующий за изданным лейблом United Artists (в американской версии) альбомом A Hard Day’s Night. В этот альбом включены восемь песен с оригинального британского издания A Hard Day’s Night, а также «Slow Down» и «Matchbox» с мини-альбома (EP) Long Tall Sally; ещё была добавлена версия песни «I Want to Hold Your Hand», спетой на немецком языке (под названием «Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand»). Альбом был выпущен в моно- и стерео-версиях; на стерео-версии были повторены все моно-миксы пяти песен из альбома, выпущенного United Artists. В моно-издании содержатся альтернативные версии песен «Any Time at All» (другой баланс инструментов в инструментальном «бридже»), «I’ll Cry Instead» («отсутствующий» третий куплет), «When I Get Home» (строка «Till I walk out that door again» в «бридже» поется с другим вокальным пассажем, чем в британском моно-миксе) и «And I Love Her» (здесь вокал Маккартни записан один раз, а не «двойной», как на британском моно-альбоме) (McCartney’s non-double-tracked vocal).
