Nice collection of Japanese vinyl - I have some Japanese issues and they are my favorites, ( except for colored Vinyl of course ) - Great video - I finally ordered the singles collection today as I received an email from a company I have dealt with in the past for $160 with free shipping - I had a feeling I should wait and I am glad I did - Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't - Take care and God Bless.

@@beatlebrad5339 thank you for the reply, I'm doing better. I was a general manager at a restaurant and now can no longer walk. So there was a period of time with no pay.

Like my first Beatle album etc. I just can't find a decent copy of that white album in my price range but that's fine. I'm just looking forward to let it be 50th anniversary set. I do enjoy watching your videos very much. Take care and I hope your feeling better. Have a good day.

Thanks mate this was just smashing to do this for you . Well I am off to the Beatle Brad cave for more treasures to share with you . Thank you so much for stopping by !!!!
So, what I've learned is that the original flag issues came with the black inner sleeves. Later flag pressings came with the poly bag. Aside from that they are all the same. LIB and Hey Jude were the first ones in the series that I bought. And yes, I have them all now. There are 40 in the series, and the last five have a different style of obi.
Awesome! Love the Japanese pressings. I have all the 80’s Zeppelin pressings with the obi’s. I’ve still never played them since owning them for 30 yrs lol! Cheers ✌️🇨🇦
You must have a great collection of them . You know the Beatles ones do just sound ok …. LOL just kidding they do rock !!! . I am glad you like my video and great to see you here and take care !!!!
Hey Beatle Brad I have Sgt Pepper (unfortunately it doesn't have the jibberish after A Day in the Life); Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles and Something New.
You know … You are right about Pepper !!! It is fun to get the Japanese vinyl just so nice !!! I am glad you like my video thank you so much for watching and take care my friend !!!!
I've been a Collector of Japanese mini lp CDs for years and have also started collecting some of the flag series LPs. The quality of the artwork and in most cases the sound is much better. It hard to get them in mint condition. Good luck with your growing collection
I do know that you like them . It is just hard to beet them on Vinyl or CD :). Just good stuff right !! So happy that you are spending some time with family . Thank you Robert for watching and God bless you my friend !!!

You know Curtis I do think you would like the Japanese Beatles . It is a lot like the Elvis ones the sound is just great !!! Thank you for watching and take care my friend !!!!
Beautiful Japanese pressings. They were in excellent shape. I especially love the white album portraits. I've never seen them with the extra matte before. Very cool. Have a great weekend Brad.
You I know you do like Japanese pressings and was hoping that you would see this video :) !! It is a lot of fun to have them as you know the sound is just … Well you know lol !!! I hope that you are almost done pulling things together for the Wedding :) . I know it is a lot of $$$ and stressful as well but thinking of you with it all !! Thank you for stopping by and to God be the glory :"-) !!!
I’ve got a few. Sgt. pepper flag series. The red album. Also on Red wax I have Oldies but Goldies, second album, and soon to arrive the Japanese compilation Beatles No. 5. They are fun to have and I love the look of the red vinyl. I’ll do a video one day soon :)
It does sound like you have some good one too :). As you know these are just Fab lol and the sound is just so good wow yes!! I am still looking for more. Have fun playing them and thanks for watching one of my blasts from the past videos lol take care and see you soooooon :)!!!!!!
found out an interesting fact, in 1973 the my love single came out in the UK with the artist listed as McCartney's Wings instead of Paul McCartney & Wings ( it was quickly withdrawn & reissued correctly ) it also slipped out in New Zealand on the green Apple label & possibly a few other regions
Good luck on completing your EAS Flag series Japan Beatles LP's. I own a set of the red vinyl 82' mono's and a couple original 60's red vinyl originals. Had the EAS Flag BC-13 blue box and sold it several years ago. I thought it sounded overly bright. The AP Beatles Forever series from the early to mid 70's sounded better balanced to my ears. The red vinyl mono's also sound good.
It sounds like you know the albums well . It is fun to get the Japanese vinyl it just so nice !!!! I am glad you like my video and I do hope that you are doing well my friend !!! Thanks for watching and take care .
I Collect them all, except when I was collecting I didn't get the "Beatles Story". At the time, i did not believe in paying more than $40 for a record set. Back then they wanted 200-300 dollars for it. But Lately I've had 14 strokes in the last 13 years. There are three record companies in Japan and EMI-Odeon was the only company that sprayed a chemical on their record that it would never attract dust. The bad news is that in 1988 they must have abandon that as my "Past Masters" from Japan is not as good as the Capitol version of that album.
Hi Matt . So happy to have you here and thanks for sharing some of your great info . I am so sorry that you have had so many Strokes (. But I will prat that they will go away :"). I do like the Japanese Beatles Series vinyl they are so ... Well you know lol just great . And you know the $$$ of them just keep going up and up too . I am glad you like my video on this . And I do thank you for watching and subscribing as well . Take care and stay safe Matt and see you on the next video :) !!!
@@beatlebrad5339 Thank you for your kind words, but I am Looking forward to Death. If I am Good, and follow the 10 commandments, I Like to Say 15 after Mel Brooks scene in "History of the World, Part 1". In my death, I'll get to see, relatives and friends that have passed away before me. I hope to see, the 9-10 foot aliens on "Sirius B" it's 5.8 light years away. It's the big black Triangular UFO, that is known as the "Phoenix Lights", or in 1952 it was known as the "Lubbock Lights". It's first recorded appearance was in Angurs, France in 845AD. Don't confuse them with Grays, they come from Zeta Riticula, which is more than 12 light years away. It takes them around 9 months to get here. Well, Back to the Japanese vinyl, try to find "Without the Beatles" it has No actual Beatles on the record, but it does feature a bunch of "Lennon-McCartney" songs. The album features them on a diving board, the photograph was re-used on one of the Japanese EP's. Will talk to you later.
Hello Brad. Great to see you. I collect Japanese Albums as well but I really haven’t been going for the Flag series like I should. I do have a few of the Flag Series albums. I’ve been focusing on the original Japanese ones pressed back in the 60s. Most of them are in brilliant condition. I enjoyed seeing all of the Flag series albums Brad. Hopefully I’ll find more of these Japanese Flag Albums for a nice price. Take care Brad
Oh wow yes you do get them . I am so sory that I didn't call out your name . But you know win I do a video I do it one take lol . Sorry about that it is some times hard to think of it all . And I will forget some things that I wonted to say !!!! But you do have a very nice collection Marv . I am glad you like my video thank you my friend for watching and I do look forward to being with you at the Fest !!! Take care :).

Hey Brad! Thanks for the shout out. Love seeing your Japanese collection. I used to have so many of these back in the late 70s in my original collection. Now , like you say, I am trying to reacquire them. Take care!
Joe my man !!! Great to have you here . I am glad you like my video because I do know that you do like the Beatles Japanese pressings as well . Thanks for stopping by and take care Bill …… Right ?.
I picked up a 7” vinyl single of Elton John and John Lennon - side A - I saw her standing there,side B - 1. Whatever gets you through the night 2. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Do you have anything like that? Great video,Japanese pressings are the pinnacle of vinyl I think,though I don’t own any at the moment,but it’s great to see other with them.
Yes I do have that as well …. My 45 is from the US and the larger one is from Germany !!! You know I have ben looking for a video on this show !!! Very hard to find this . I do think it just doesn't exist … But I do have a part of a video clip nice . I am glad you like my video thank you for stopping by take care !!!
All is well here :). That's a good thing right !!! I do like the JBA a lot !! Just so nice sound !!! I am glad you like my video thank you for watching David and take care !!!!
Hey Beatle Brad! I was revisiting my 2014 Japan Box, and was curious to see some Japanese vinyl, so this hit the spot. Hope you’re doing well; take care!
Happy Holidays Brad!! I do collect this series. I still need about 10 to complete the series. I agree with you that they do have a good quality sound. Take care be well!
Hi Ben . I am glad you are doing this too :). It dose take time and $$$ do this lol !! I am glad that you got to see this video . I hope that I did show you some that you don't have ?. Thanks for watching and take care !!!!
Hi James well it sure was fun to show you my Beatles Vinyl from Japan!!! You know I did this Video so long ago lol and I have gotten a lot more since then!!! I think I need to do a now one lol. But I sure do thank you for going in my past videos to see this one!!! I hope you have a Fab weekend too James and rock on my friend!!!!!
Great to see these Brad, thanks. I have the Japanese Magical Mystery Tour also - the only Japanese record (with Obi) that I have in my collection, love it. The Let It Be gatefold is great. The Beatles Oldies record looks fantastic - I found an original copy of that in my local good-will store this year (British pressing I mean!) Hope you're having a great festive season. Cheers, James
*Message N°2* : You ask "How (...)?" The Japanese consider an album record and its packaging as a work of art more than just a product for sale. Throughout the manufacturing process, quality control was present without the right to make mistakes _(ok we can ask ourselves the question of working conditions... oops not now)._ A defect? = Trash can! The technicians were highly qualified and meticulous. The record companies sent them a copy of the master on tape and the skills and experience of the technicians who cut the mother lacquer_matrix were the Royce Rolls of the profession _(with HIGH QUALITY equipment "Made in Japan")._ And... WAIT FOR IT ! WAIT FOR IT ! ... After 28 years, Sony re-opened in 2018 a full manufactering record plant (Mastering/Cutting/Pressing). *Fun fact* the first one in 2018 pressed was "52nd Street - Billy Joel" why ? Haha ! Because it was the first japanese CD manufactured in 1982 of course 😂! Will their quality standards remain the same? I can't tell you. Well, in fact I will pretty soon... stay tuned _(A clue... "1956 his first LP")_ 😉 Ha ha!
Hey Brad, thanks for the shout out and yes, I have half a dozen or more Japanese pressings. I must admit that of late I have been more intrigued with Russian pressings because of the oddity of the things. Yours all look to be in tremendous condition. I do find it odd that as the flag of the country of origin of the album is on top of the OBI, that the gatefold Let It Be is flying under the UK flag and not the US flag. Interesting! MMT is flying under the US flag as it should be. Anyway, very nice collection and take care...
You know Tim lol …. I need to go and look at that again :") . Wow you are right lol this is puzzling !!! . But they are a lot of fun to get them as you know !! I am glad you like my video and try to keep worm with the snow you got !!! Take care .
I have two Beatles japan press vinyl and i can't hear the vocals from some of the songs. Others have vocals and some have none. Maybe can you help me or what could be the problem?
Wow you know that sure is a wild one ??. It sounds like you got a bad pressing on that . If you can I would take it back to the Record store . Or if you got it on line I would try and send it back . Wow I am so sorry that happened the Japanese vinyl is usually the best sounding . If you got the chance let me know how it went ok . Thank you for watching my video and for subscribing as well take care and talk to you later !!!!!!
I am glad you like my video . And you know I do wont to get the new Who . I have herd a lot of good things about it !!! Thanks for stopping by take care .
@@beatlebrad5339 you really should, if you like 60s music i think you'll like it. If you don't want to spend much on vinyl you can get the cd on ebay for 6 bucks
Ha ha ! How dare you? 😇 You forgot me in the list + you forgot my handmade wooden box "UK Flag Series" 🇯🇵 Collection! Three years later... I must say that I have reviewed my point of view on these 1976 reissues. Paul _(the Canadian one haha)_ I think he pretty agrees with me. Certainly these pressings have their qualities but in the end quite a few flaws_weaknesses. You say they sound like a CD and that's the problem! It's like even before the CD 1982 debut in Japan, they already had the desire to press albums with a very clean sound _aka. quite flat with too much trebles._ "AHDN" is pretty aggressive, for an example. The definition is good but with a lack of nuance. "Please Please Me", I don't know why, but they used US masters with echoes. It's the worst version I have of this album, it's pretty bad believe me _(but with a lovely inner sleeve in color)._ "Help!" is pretty good just like "Rubber Soul". "Revolver" has been cut at the wrong speed, slightly too slow but sounds very very good. "Pepper" is superb just like "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be". "Oldies..." is a little bit aggressive like the "White Album" and "Yellow" is _ok._ In fact as Paul says, the 1978 UK/EU re-releases are clearly superior to this series. I am very happy to have them (1-13) because they are superb collector's items. YES yes yes, this collection is nice and my copies are all almost in MINT condition and complete but in the end I don't listen to them often aka. almost never in fact... sadly because I have better versions _(which "unfortunately" cost me so much less money)._ The previous 1973 🇯🇵 RE collection "AP-00000" does not seem to suffer from all these well known weaknesses but their price is not in the same category as the "UK Flag Series" _(especially with OBI and insert included)._ Only my opinion of course... my ears point of view 😉 I LOVE Japanese pressings !!! Unfortunately, they are the ones I would no longer recommend _(that's why I removed all my videos dedicated to them)._ Take care, dear Monsieur B.Brad 😊! _(You looks great, I'm very happy about that!)._ And as you say : "I'm out of..."
Hi Paul my friend . You know you do have a lot of good points about them !!! You know ….. Ok now you got me thinking lol . I need to get out my J pressing of PPM . I am glad you are here because you do know so much and I do like to here what you have to say !!!! Thanks for being here and have a great Christmas !!!!
