All thirteen unique albums released by Capitol Records are included in the box set, eight of which were previously released in The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 and Volume 2, sourced from the Capitol master tapes. The set contains remastered mono and stereo versions of each album, except The Beatles' Story and Hey Jude, which are presented only in stereo. Additionally, Yesterday and Today, and the US versions of A Hard Day's Night and Revolver were released for the first time on CD in this box set.

The masters for the US versions of the albums are partially based on the original 1960s masters delivered by EMI and the 2009 remasters released in The Beatles (The Original Studio Recordings) and The Beatles in Mono. Unique stereo and mono mixes prepared in the UK for US release are sourced from the original tapes. Any unique versions prepared for US release were recreated for this set. The tapes used for the 2004 and 2006 Capitol boxed sets drawn from the Capitol tapes were not used in this set, with the exception of The Beatles' Story.
The albums Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles (the "White Album"), Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Let It Be are not included in this set as those albums were identical to available UK editions. (The White Album was only released in stereo in the US.) Originally, the American version of Magical Mystery Tour was also unique, as a Capitol Records compilation of the band's British EP and 1967 singles. When the Beatles catalogue was first issued on compact disc in 1987, they chose to make the American Magical Mystery Tour running order the official version of the release.
