DBM-039 represents a fine remastering of this Beatles compilation album that was originally released in Italy in 1965 on the Parlophone label (PMCQ 315006). The cover is obviously misleading as this is a collection of previously released Beatles studio recordings that had been performed live in concert in Italy. The clarity on these tracks is sharp and crisp. I could not detect any flaws in the mastering process. The fidelity is enhanced significantly and this is a pleasurable listen from start to finish. The CD clocks in at just over 29 minutes; short but sweet.
