Beatles Albums You Never See | Vinyl Rarities From Around the World 

It blows me away how wide and deep the Beatles reached so many countries and so many peoples and cultures. Thanks for this video.

That Turkish "Today... and Yesterday" has the weirdest tracklisting... Side one ("today"): "My Sweet Lord", "Mull of Kintyre", "Girls' School", "Imagine", "Oh Yoko!", "No. 9 Dream", and side two ("yesterday"): "Dr. Robert", "Hello Goodbye", "Yesterday", "What Goes On", "Day Tripper", "The Ballad of John and Yoko", "Act Naturally". Reminds me of a playlist on shuffle.

This was amazing to see all these different albums of the Beatles. The East German pressings and the mono Abbey Road were awe inspiring.Thanks to all involved

It would appear most, if not all his records are in those plastic sleeves we've been warned about?!

South Rhodesia! In my early days that was a beautiful country. Never knew they produced any Beatles vinyl. Astounding collection.

Groovy stuff. Do my eyes deceive me? Did I see the dreaded PVC sleeves on some of those gems?

Apple should pay an obscene amount of money to Francis for this unique collection, it belongs at some time in the future to be continually in the care of custodians who really care as Francis and all of us do about not only the amazing legacy of their music but the incredible deeper wider scope of their various releases throughout the world. Thanks😎👌

I remember when Francis got his record signed by Tony Sheridan in Mons in 1991. It was a Beatles Convention I was helping organise at the time.

I've known some Beatles collectors who adamantly refuse to allow people to so much as SEE their collections. So this was nice. However, it also brought out the nerd in me as I thought to myself, "Hummm... He's a little rough when he takes out some of those records."

I’ll never tire of looking at all the wonderful versions from the world over! Thanks to Francis as well! I hope he had as much fun sharing as we did gandering at his collection. So many wonderful designs! Thanks for sharing Andrew, too. Great show!

Great video!,A great collection of very rare & collectable Beatles albums from all around the world 🌎 including a few from Australia & New Zealand featuring the now rare collectable (out of print) alternative front covers of "With The Beatles", "Beatles For Sale" & "Magical Mystery Tour", also love the rare albums from Spain,Germany & Japan.

One of the saddest days for a friend of mine who was broke and had to sell off records to pay a tax bill was selling his copy of The Beatles Hottest Hits, certainly one of the coolest non-standard covers out there. Sadly, I couldn't afford what it was worth at the time, so I didn't get to "keep it in the family" as it were.

Thank you for another video featuring Francis! I hope his collection will stay together. It seems like that would increase the chances of long-term preservation of these things. Is there any official, public Beatles archive/museum in the world? Bob Dylan has an archive in Tulsa, OK. The Beatles would obviously merit an institution of their own, if they don't have one already. (Maybe in Liverpool?) Or maybe the collection could be bought by the British Library or something. Of course, Francis surely has a plan and does not need my input. As we get older, it seems we tend to realize more and more that we are merely custodians of the things we collect, holding them for a time, then passing them on to others who will care for and about them after we are gone.

Thanks for a return to Francis' collection, Andrew! Lots of fascinating records, for sure. I owned the Netherlands "Beatles Greatest" compilation-- I bought it at a department store here in the midwestern USA in the late 1970s. I believe Capitol/EMI themselves sold imports here of EMI product from around the world, as I seem to recall an "imported to the US by EMI" sticker on the outer plastic wrap. That particular album also has the version of "All My Loving" with the five-count-in at the beginning of the track.

Thanks again for an interesting look at some rare lps. I'm proud to say I have a few of those albums - Beatles "World's Best", "And Now : ...", the marching band cover on Amiga, and the Japanese "A Hard Days Night" on red vinyl. Enjoyed this video, as always.

I just found the strangest records yet. Maigcal mystery tour when it launched (the LP), last three songs were in duophonic, in mock stereo. Well, I just purchased a Yugoslav pressing, probably from 1977, where Penny Lane and Baby you're a rich man are in duophonic, YET All you need is love is in stereo. What in the hell.

Honestly one of the best you tube channels going and the best for Beatles content. Always a treat!! Great work Andrew!!

Brilliant, of course, but can't believe he has them housed in those nasty PVC sleeves!

That was really a great moment in a beatles fan's life. Great video, Andrew!

I really enjoyed seeing all these various editions of Beatles albums. The only Beatles albums (well…sort of…) that have been seen by me to be somewhat distinctive were the 1976 Pickwick album with Tony Sheridan (with the Beatles referred to as “The Beat Brothers”) and those “Live from the Star Club” bootlegs they released in the late 1970s. It was gratifying to hear one or two of the Tony Sheridan/Beatles songs released in the “Beatles Anthology” CDs.

The Spanish Polydor pressing w Tony Sheridan shows Ringo on the cover. Wasn't it Pete Best on the drums? Another cover to collect is the Swedish All My Loving EP with Beatles sitting on an old canon, quite rare.

Astounding collection, with literally all the variations. Thanks Francis and Parlogram.

What an amazing collection ! Thanks to you and the Francis especially, for showing these.

Thank you for sharing more of the collection, Andrew!

Incredible museum and a fantastic video as always. Thank you Andrew.

Just discovered your channel. Lots to go through on here. Also, this guy has such a soothing voice, I could listen to this video for hours and hours.

loved this look at rarities!

I look forward to having my mind blown by rare stuff and inside info every Sunday.but this one really takes the cake.THNX! great to see this great collection again.if its not the best, its gotta be close

Wonderful! So many awesome items. Thanks for the video and big thanks for Francis!

This video was fantastic , his collection , museum, is awesome, the albums from the world is beyond words, wonder if you can find those anywhere, probably a bit pricey but it would be worth it Thank You for going back to the museum, it would be a great place to see, Steve

Thanks for a amazing look at this collection

Once Again fantastic video! - Francis thank you so much for the hard work you and your brother have done simply amazing, hopefully they can be all kept together - Few notes about the NZ LP's Beatles for Sale here is a rare Yellow on Black Parlo Label export (to aust from nz) so round 67-69 the cover Im guessing is an Aust print that happend with a few LP's I have a Aust Beatles Greatest hits vol 1 export label (same as vid here but with export msg) The Magical Mystery Tour Lp was a World Record Club version - NZ MMT album's had LP 5 labels over a few years starting from about 69 to 72? with 1st Apple hmv, 2,3,4 WRC 5 Apple emi (with us cover) all were standard u.s mix. - our n.z releases at times were quite strange :)

It's great to see this amazing collection. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much Andrew, Amazing Video and i cant wait for the new one!

Cool clip with a cool ending😂.. love the way you have lots of trebble on those clips..sound you can almost taste 😉.Thank you Francis🤩👌.

8:24 Francis got it wrong; that’s the Australian pressing. Beatles for Sale was pressed identically to the UK issue in New Zealand, complete with the gatefold. What he has is probably a New Zealand-contracted pressing, which explains the NZ labels, but pressed for the Australian markets nonetheless

Never tire of looking at the variations of Beatles records from around the world. Another great and interesting video Mr. Handsome Man. Keep them coming.

Super!!! Thanks for taking the time to make this. A lot of effort went into this vid, for sure...thank you, again!!!

2:17 Meet the Beat? Stroke of luck they didn't name it the other way around :)

Last year rummaging through a junk box of LPs..I came upon a copy of rubber soul.. thin laminated cover.. with a red and gold print odean copy.. absolutely the ugliest vinyl ever seen.. I looked like crunched up vinyl.. but it played!! Love all that memorabilia of the Beatle years!! Thanks Andrew

4:05 - The 'Book Club Editions' albums with 1967 era pictures are great! 9:14 - Records from East Germany, now that's a thing! 5:40 - The Swiss cover of 'Help' is so much better than the original, which is mostly - white. 6:14 - 'Today & Yesterday' & close-up of Sgt. Pepper pics session from Turkey is great! 10:04 - 'Eskimo' Beatles from Denmark! :-) 11:35 -'Por Sempre' from Spain has great psychodelic cover. 'Canciones de Amore' has a nice inside picture-portraits. 12:51 - The album from Italy with 'wrong' artwork. 16:03 - The 'moustache' Beatles. :-) Blue Parlophone label is very appealing. Andrew, you might make a video with a topic 'Best Artwork of the Beatles' albums around the world.'

Cool to see the Israeli albums. Is that where Paul recorded "The Shul On The Hill?"

Another great video Andrew. Can't wait for the next episode.

Was wonderful seeing seeing some of Francis' collection again. There were so many pressings he showed that I've never heard of let alone seen before such as 'Beatles for Sale mit Cutistad' and other German albums as well as 'The World's Best 'series. In fact, most of these pressings were new to me so thank you Andrew for this return to the Beatles Museum!

PVC do I see - please tell us Andrew it isn't so... 😥

I have a copy of, "The Big Beat Of The Beatles." I like the track listing very much. All in mono.

A great collection for sure. I can’t help but think that the more I see of these international covers, the more I appreciate the original UK covers. That Israeli “Beatles Greatest” cover has to be the oddest of the bunch. It’s almost as if they had a fan artwork contest and used the “best” submissions to design the cover. I’m hoping you gently suggested to Francis that he replace those PVC sleeves. Some of them looked pretty wrinkled and are likely off-gassing. 😉

Next week will be awesome. I never get tired of hearing about the saga of Introducing the Beatles. Mean Mr Mayo just did a short about Please Please Me by playing a super warped copy of Introducing The Beatles thst kept throwing the needle back to the outer groove. It's hilarious😊

Yummy yummy yummy 😋 Such great editions from each corner of the world. Thanks for sharing these treasures.

Por Siempre at 11:35 looks Mexican, has the Aztec calendar stone. And the Love Songs cover is surely inspired by The Hollies' Would You Believe?

Thanks Andrew!! Great to see those Aussie albums shown.

I often wonder what became of my first beloved copies of Oldies but Goldies and "Live! At the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany-1962" (pheww that' is some LONG title) ...might be disintegrated by now, one with the Universe 😂 Quality content as usual, thank you Andrew!!❤

Hi, Andrew! Well, what can I say of Francis Beatles collection that has not been said? It is FABULOUS!!!! I am glad you got back to it. I am sure there might be other great collections out there still to be seen. Bye for now, Nelio.

That must of been one heck of an editing job for you Andrew. Many thanks for your efforts...it's well produced. :)

This was some excellent unintentional ASMR. Very relaxing. If the records weren't so damn cool, I probably would have fallen asleep.

Mmm I have all of those LPs in my loft... And more..... Only joking 😂... What an absolute pleasure to watch absolutely astonished... Incredible I saw a very brief shot of a red and cream coloured plastic beatles guitar in the musium.... I used to have one of those absolutely no idea what happened to it 😢.... One of my favourite videos to watch is the Beatles in Japan when John & George are rocking the Ephipone casino guitars they sound amazing..... Thanks for this video what an incredible museum credit to that guy..... 👍😊

I had the captions on, due to Francis's accent some of the translations we're hilarious. It translated "Revolver" as "No volleyball"!

I love seeing all the variations of design, and as someone mentioned, seeing just how deeply the group was embraced around the world :)

The Germans seemed quite enamoured with The Beatles in 1967, as they used so many pictures from that period on their compilations

I have a few of these records, though not nearly enough! How did Frances accumulate all of these? I would love to know more about him. Once again I really loved this peak into his collection! Thank you for the great post! (I'm very green with envy right now!)

When he said "Beatles Greatest," for the Netherlands album, the closed captioning said, 'Bitter squirters."

Great, Thanks a lot!

Amazing collection but looks like he has most of them in PVC sleeves, if so he needs to watch the video you did on the subject.

IT JUST INCREDIBLE!

Was the Beatles - Rubber Soul (Greek - champagne cover shown). ?

more videos like this please !!!!

Great to see more of Francis’s amazing collection. What an interesting weird German Beatles For Sale cover. Don’t recall ever even seeing a picture of it anywhere.

What a collection! 😎 Nice to see some of those awesome sounding German pressings that I'm also happy to have in my collection as well.

We need to build an underground bunker/museum to display it in when he gifts it to our shrine.

its all the same product, packaged differently? How many versions of the same product do you want?

The Israeli "Beatles Greatest" (15:10) gets my vote as the weirdest Beatles album cover I've ever seen.

Absolutely fab✌️❤️

Peruvian A Hard Day’s Night, I want that one.

Were the Japan red vinyl pressings the only Beatles albums anywhere in the world on colored vinyl in the 1960s?

Great video Andrew. WOW what a collection this guy has, an amazing amount of albums from all over the world. So great to see. One thing I did notice though is he is using those awful outer protection sleeves, not good for his collection unfortunately.

Oh for the days when overseas had the autonomy to design their own sleeves for better or worse …..

Talking about Beatles album in differents countries I see one make it in Korea South and the stamp have different color and titles writing in that linguage.About this museum I know as have specials collections the others countries and have your sentimental price.Good this.Uchino Of Japan.I see you Andrew.

Note to Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr! Put your hands into your wallets, make an obscene offer to purchase this entire collection, Donate to British museum to be preserved for eternity for the world to enjoy.

I have a few of those. Nice to see so many in one collection though!

Excelente coleccion de vinilos

Hallo Andrew! Amazing all these rare pressings! But isn 't he keeping them in the wrong PVC covers?.

Speaking of an international vinyl rarity, would you consider doing a video on the Maybe Tomorrow LP, by The Ivies? I had been wanting one of these for years, and finally bought an Italian pressing off Discogs. (Slipping into old geezer mode for a minute.) I remember back in the 80s, when Rockaway Records ran big showcase ads in Goldmine. They always had multiple copies of that My Bonnie LP, but I never wanted to spend big money for records back then. Looking through this video, there are a few I was unaware of. I had only seen fakes or reissues of The Beatles in Italy. I had never seen the inside of the gatefold before. I count a dozen of these pressings or comps in my own collection, I have found digging in the wild years ago, not buying on the collector's market, or online. Thrift stores, yard sales, used record bins, etc. I also have a couple unusual South American solo records too, plus a couple of Beatles pressings from Denmark, and New Zealand not shown. The dedicated digger could always count on finding stuff like this, in the wild, every now and then. But there are a lot of records you never see anymore from the 50s to the 80s. Good records are drying up, all over the world, and if you want quality vintage vinyl, buying online, or at big record shows is your only option. The golden age of crate digging is over. Newer colectors will never know what it was like.

I have the same " Help," with blue letters,but mine is on the " Apple," label not on " Hör zu,".German " Please,Please me," got about two years ago,so they' re not rare,like all the others records. Nice one Andrew.👍😎

Wonderful collection of which I have 3 of those in my collection 👍 also a Hungarian album I bought in a market stall called 'The Beatles Hits' 😊

it was amazing!!!! wich one is the song used for the intro??

Nice to see the "Doll House" cover art being used for an actual album (was created for the white album, but Family beat them to the album title).

7:57 my copy is in kinda bad shape but I'm glad to know I have one! but my japanese beatles second album is in perfect condition

Wow and wow. So many rare and amazing items. Andrew the Today and Yesterday from Turkey at 6.10 in the video is that considered an official release? Never seen anything before that mixed solo tracks and Beatles tracks outside of boots. Are there any official lps like that in the world? Thanks to Francis and you for taking us back there once again.

A fantastic laid back and very interesting look into a great collection. Something that particularly caught my eye was that album label from South Rhodesia, which even if we know it corresponds with modern Zimbabwe, in some way it's a country that no longer exists.

Amazing content as always! Certainly the Abbey Road mono pressing was a fold-down, no?

I’ve slowly started to collect the Czech albums from Supraphon. They’re nothing special monetarily maybe but I got to visit the Czech Republic last year and absolutely loved everything about it there so it holds a special place in my heart But it’s also cool to have records from behind the iron curtain that the music for so long we’re banned and a crime for owning when originally released in the 60s

I have been fascinated by this collection. I’m curious: does he have an entirely separate set of records that he uses for listening? Or does he play this collection?

These vinils look like they are in PVC covers, i Hope i'm wrong

8:18 I didn't realise we here in NZ got that awful Australian cover too. Looks like imported covers from Australia, as it's missing the famous white border that's on all NZ covers.

As much as I admire Francis's collection (treasure trove would be a better word), I would have welcomed a commentary on the records many of which were presented out of their temporal order and irrespective of status as originals or reissues/variants or even later cash-ins such as the Turkish Today and Yesterday compilation. So this was something like a very superficial sightseeing tour, and all you remember when you return to your hotel for dinner is a load of colourful covers of Beatles records you never saw before. A wasted opportunity, in my view, although I certainly recognize that a full commentary would have been far too long for a single video. Still ... nice to get to see all this.

Sometimes is right place and right time, i bought all German releases here in Brazil in NM condition for about U$ 2 each back in 2001....

absolutely precious and priceless

Pretty interesting and original choices throughout the world. I would have expected someone like Francis to have the German ZTOX PPM (instead of a pretty standard Tanzschaffe one) in his collection - those were exclusively made for foreign forces' own shops, had the proper EMI staircase cover and are rare as hell. BTW, those early albums in France are pretty bitchin' in terms of having different titles and cover designs, too. :)

Francis’ collection is amazing, lord only knows how much it’s worth if you could even put a value on it! 😱🤷‍♀️😬👍

If he wanted to, if he sold those in one massive bundle he could buy the Louvre.
