    Most of the real value are the UK pressings I own most the earlier 1st pressings, like I have a couple of the Gold and Black label ones stereo and the mono ones plus the transition Black and Yellow pressings

    Very nice collection, I am just starting to re buy Beatle's albums after (like a lot of people) sold them when c.d.s came out . I am up to S.G.T. Pepper and your opinions on various cuttings is very helpful.

    I too am an avid Beatles vinyl collector. I bought the red box mono British lp collection when it was released 'n was surprised to discover Sgt. Pepper's is indeed mono on side 1 but side 2 is stereo! Betcha that's a rare collector's item now…

    I'm actually surprised that you don't have the original UK monos. Everything they did right up to the white album sounds way better and more dynamic in mono. I think you need to sit down and play all the UK eps back to back to get a true idea of what the band was about in the early days in mono and its a true revelation to listen to.

    Vinyl is so overrated, CD'S are much better, not only do they sound better, (they replaced Vinyl for a reason back in the 80's) they are much more easily storable, durable, and cheaper, In my opinion the only category Vinyl has an advantage is in the Cover art where the Cover just jumps right out at you but other than that….CD'S FTW

    The Beatles sold a lot of records not because they were the greatest musicians but simply because their music was easy to sell to the masses: it had no difficult content, it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth. They wrote a bunch of catchy 3-minute ditties and they were photogenic. 
    Furthermore, the Beatles represented the reaction against a social and political revolution. They arrived at the time of the student protests, of Bob Dylan, of the Hippies, and they replaced the image of angry kids, fists in the air, with their cordial faces and amiable declarations

    You don't own the best and rocking Paul McCartney and Wings 1975 album Venus and Mars? I really think it's the best Wings album even much better than The Band On The Run album and that's a pretty good album, and Venus and Mars is one of the greatest post Beatles albums Paul ever did.

    I'm also really surprised that you don't also own John Lennon's 1974 great album Walls and Bridges.

    So, you basically live in a mini record store. Im jealous (then again, im this way with books so i can empathize). But seriously, this is impressive. Plus im in love woth the entire set up and the obvious love you have. Makes me want to do a similar thing for my main artist (Tarja).

    Though, just a thought: collaboration with Parlogram Auction sometime in the future?

    Honestly when it comes to let it be I'm really happy with Phil spector's overproduction I don't think it's intrusive on any of those songs my only problem with the let it be album as a whole

    Is a short grease inclusion of dig it and Maggie Mae

    When I originally listened to the album as a kid I always thought that was a kid I thought that's all they recorded of dig it honestly he could have dropped Maggie May from the album if we good at the very least the 4 minute version of the song I can't think of a valid reason why I dig it was cut down to under a minute I believe there's enough time and there's even enough space on the album for the the full song keep in mind let it be was only 12 track album and at that point it's not even a matter of Capitol Records because Capitol Records have to listen to emi records

    If I remember right the green Label pressings were 77 – 80 and then purple 81 – 89? maybe I have that backwards. VR does have a lot of the Lps I Have! but, I have over 20k Lp's and 45's. promos and demos – some that may be quite rare. this includes dodge Ad 7 Inch 33's, 12 inch Dodges disks – including ads and pep rally disks!l

    My first two real Beatles Lp's were Please please me(Purple 81 Label) and Something new(Green Label) … Thanks to the public libraries back in the late 80s and 90's, I took the time to learn about music. and now I have a huge collection and a hopeful start up radio station(Online)

    BTW: I have pretty Much the full Capitol Albums Box sets v 1 and two on original Cap. Lps Mono and stereo – I am missing the beatles 65 Lp in stereo though!

    yet, I will never sell them, if anything the collection will grow!

    Something new mono has tracks from What I understand The U. A version( Two or Three tracks) from the Help album.

    you should also try and find the US versions of Rock and Roll Music, the Silver Case with the coke glass on orange vinyl from 77 at least my 2x LP is from 1977!

    Finally someone showing some Beatles US records! They’re so overlooked and ignored in the vc. The US pressings are infinitely superior to the original U.K. pressings which are worthless anyway . Reissues rule dude!!

    It’s refreshing to see a video about how one can appreciate ‘ordinary’ or ‘common’ records. So much airtime is given to limited editions and rarities. Probably 90% of my records are easy to find, and I don’t love them any less.
