'''Pira Sudham''' (born [[1942]], [[Thai alphabet|Thai]] พีระ สุธรรม) is a [[writer]] from the [[Isan]] region of [[Thailand]]. He was born to a family of poor farmers in [[Amphoe Na Pho|Na Pho]], [[Buriram Province]]. At the age of fourteen he was sent to [[Bangkok]] to study, where he lived as a ''[[Temple boy|dek wat]]'' (a boy who lives in a temple and assists [[monk]]s). He later went on to study at [[Chulalongkorn University]], [[Auckland University]] and then [[Victoria University of Wellington]].

'''[[The Beatles]]''' released an impressive thirteen albums in a mere seven years. This was an astonishing achievement considering the relatively short period of time in which they were recorded.


His works include:
The first four Beatles [[Gramophone record|vinyl]] albums differ based on their location of release. Those released in the [[United States|U.S.]] were of lower sound quality and had some of their songs omitted. Additionally, even though the first four Beatles albums were originally released as both monaural and stereo recordings in the [[United Kingdom]], stereo phonographs were quite rare in England at the time. Naturally, then, [[George Martin]] and The Beatles only spent a lot of time on the mono mixes. Many early songs were later remastered by [[Capitol Records]] for the US as artificial stereo with bass on one side and treble on the other side, with lots of added echo, to the disgust of many fans today. The Capitol release of "Rubber Soul," however, has gained a lot of fans in the years since the release of the British albums on CD. The additions of "I've Just Seen a Face" and "It's Only Love" from "Help!" and the omission of "Drive my Car," "Nowhere Man," "What Goes On," and "If I Needed Someone" gives the album a different, folky flavor.
*[[Siamese Drama]] or ''Tales of Thailand'' (1983)
*[[People of Esarn]] (1987)
*[[Monsoon Country]] (1988)
*[[The Force of Karma]] (2002)


As well as drawing on his own life, these works deal with the characters and circumstances of his fellow villagers.
When it came time to release the Beatles catalogue on [[Compact disc|CD]], the decision was made to use the original British versions of the albums, since those were the "way the Beatles originally intended them to be". The initial releases of the first four CDs were of the original mono mixes. In [[2004]], [[Capitol Records]] released the first four American albums on CD as a [[box set]] and they represent the current official stereo versions<!--[[16 November]] [[2004]]-->. No official stereo mix of the first four British albums had been released on compact disc, but there were plenty of "official looking" [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]] CDs in circulation that include the US stereo mixes and even bear the "[[Apple Records|Apple]]" logo. Martin and the Beatles started to spend more time on stereo mixes by [[1965]]. However, many fans believe that the mono versions of Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and the so-called White Album are superior to the stereo mixes.


==External link==
Many Beatles enthusiasts feel that the current EMI CD releases of the albums do not do them justice. The music was mastered to be played on vinyl, the cutting and playback of which notoriously adds warmth to the recording, and the CDs, produced during the early days of the format, do not compensate for the different medium. Given how important the sound quality of these albums was not only to the Beatles and George Martin, but also from a historical point of view, many purists still only listen to the Beatles albums on vinyl.

They include singles and B-sides, two songs sung in German, the contents of an EP released in 1964 that had four additional songs, the "single" versions of the songs "Get Back" and "Let It Be", and a version of "Across the Universe" that had bird-like sound effects. ''Past Masters'' was also issued as a 2-LP set on [[November 10]] [[1988]].

==Christmas records==
The Beatles also recorded annual Christmas records for their fan club members. From 1963 to 1969 these were released as 7" flexidiscs on LYN. In 1970 the 7 previous records were put onto a 12" vinyl record. These remain largely unavailable today, with the exception of one track, "Christmas Time Is Here Again", which was edited and released on the ''Free As a Bird'' CD single in [[1994]]:
*''The Beatles Christmas Record'', LYN 492 ([[1963]])
*''Season's Greetings from the Beatles'', LYN 757 ([[1964]])
*''The Beatles 3rd Christmas Record'', LYN 948 ([[1965]])
*''Everywhere It's Christmas'', LYN 1145 ([[1966]])

==In Canada==
The division of [[Capitol Records]] in [[Canada]] released three albums and a number of singles in 1963 and 1964 before aligning with the American division and releasing the same albums as in the US. Unlike the US, Capitol of Canada said yes to The Beatles from day one. The first Canadian release was "[[Love Me Do]]" on [[February 4]] [[1963]].
*''[[Beatlemania! With the Beatles]]'', [[Capitol Records|Capitol Canada]] ([[November 25]] [[1963]])
*''[[Twist and Shout (Beatles Canada album)|Twist and Shout]]'', Capitol Canada ([[February 3]] [[1964]])
*''[[The Beatles' Long Tall Sally]]'', Capitol Canada ([[May 11]] [[1964]])

==In the US==
In the [[United States]], as noted above, the Beatles albums were rearranged, retitled and remixed. Some of the US releases were nearly identical to their UK counterparts, often only varying by one or two songs. Most releases contained songs that were also found on other records, which made things difficult for the American Beatles fan trying to purchase the band's entire catalog. By 1967, all US releases matched the UK releases exactly. Some of the US releases included:
#''[[Introducing... The Beatles]]'', [[Vee-Jay Records]] ([[January 10]] [[1963]]) (Version 2 released [[February 10]] [[1964]]) #2
#''[[Meet the Beatles!]]'', [[Capitol Records]] ([[January 20]] [[1964]]) (1st Capitol Records release) #1

Pira Sudham (born 1942, Thai พีระ สุธรรม) is a writer from the Isan region of Thailand. He was born to a family of poor farmers in Na Pho, Buriram Province. At the age of fourteen he was sent to Bangkok to study, where he lived as a dek wat (a boy who lives in a temple and assists monks). He later went on to study at Chulalongkorn University, Auckland University and then Victoria University of Wellington.

His works include:

As well as drawing on his own life, these works deal with the characters and circumstances of his fellow villagers.
