Oh, my! I see a happy person here, who's got a lot to enjoy already and a lot more to strive for (which is important!!)! I say! It's a very pleasant video of yours to watch, good luck on your quest!
Thank you very much for watching my video. I don’t fathom ever not buying Beatles stuff. It is way too late for that. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t continue to buy stuff given my age but it is an addiction. I hope you don’t have the same problem that I have!.
Hi Pat, I, too, am a first-generation Beatles fan and enjoy your videos. It’s fascinating to me the breadth of your collection and your enduring passion for the Beatles. Back in the 1980s, I set out to collect every John Lennon record/CD listed in the Perry Cox record guide. And ultimately, of course, any obsessed Beatles fan begins collecting Paul, George and Ringo solo work and filling in the holes in their collection of the Fab Four. It turned out to be mission impossible because it seemed the catalog was always expanding with reissues. As you have stated prospecting for records became a lot easier with the arrival of the internet. I’ve got a closet full of boxes of records now, but cut back on collecting a few years ago as I began trying to figure out what to do with it all. Watching your video tonight I realized that while I have my albums inventoried on Discogs, I still have work to do with the singles. Also, much appreciated you sharing what you’re paying for your new items. I think we all worry that we’ll pay too much. Thank you for sharing your remarkable collection on RU-vid. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comments. Being first generation I like you think about what will happen to my collection eventually. I think I have settled on tagging my stuff to designate who eventually will get what. I don’t want my collection sold, I rather give it to fans who will cherish it like I have. Thank you for your story and for reaching out. I totally can relate! Thank you for watching the video, I appreciate you being part of this space very much and I hope you come back again.
Thank you so much for having interest and subscribing. I love your presstoplay name. Since you said “ cheers” I know you are across the pond somewhere. I am thrilled about that too!
Hi Patricia, it’s great that you are pulling the first-generation heart strings. Noticed the great comments from them. Wow, love everything you picked up. Happy you are going down the Mono rabbit hole. I pieced my Mono set together from Mr. Stickermania too. He is the best! Love the record player, know how you feel. I bought the Crosby blue one about three years ago. It is a display piece and wouldn’t give it up. We are the same age and every time I buy something expensive I think about my age. 🤗 I justify by thinking I might live another 20 years or so. Love to see your Dezo Hoffman collection on a future video. Thanks.
I am kind f floored that the channel is picking up. It is so nonprofessional. Yes, you were right about having to go down the mono rabbit hole. I don’t really know how much of a priority it will be but I will keep looking for the right records. I am so picky that really almost nothing satisfies me condition wise unless it is up there with sealed. I am working on your idea for the next video and after that I will show the Dezo collection that I have. If you like Dezo you will like that video. Thank you for your youtube friendship. ❤
We will be kindred spirits then coming from the same neck of the woods. Thank you so much for deciding to subscribe. I never set out to do this, it kinda came by accident.
I was born in 63 so missed a lot of the original Beatlemania. I found the Beatles in 1970 on a toy jukebox I got as a Christmas gift. (Have one even now) The song was Let it be. I got my first record player a portable one in 1976 from Radio Shack. My first Beatles album came in 1977 and was Live at the Holly wood Bowl. Been a collector since. I have 4 different Beatles record players from Crosley. I don't really use them, they were just added as part of my collection. I usually play my records on my Vintage Pioneer HiFi System from 76-78. Anyway, I am glad to have found your channel. You have some interesting stories and items. I have subscribed. :)
I thank you very much for subscribing. I got into doing this quite accidentally but I really enjoy meeting great people and hearing something about their Beatles stories such as you. Whenever you became a fan is very personal, I know. One of my most tragic collecting mistakes was not getting the original record player when I should have. I am glad that you got all 4 players that are out there. Did you get the mini too? They are very fun to have out for show. I put “ I don’t want to spoil the party” on mine which I thought was kind of appropriate. It is very nice to meet you.
hi pat I am new to your channel but I am a first generation beatles fan from london england love what you showed on youe video the picture of gorge who is my fave beatle since I was 8 years old back in the 60s
I am thrilled to have a UK person on board in this space. I hope you do come back. I thank you very much and I am glad you appreciate the George photo. That was actually my first Dezo Hoffman George only photo.
Great video Patricia. You definitely made the right decision in keeping the record player. Those Japanese flag series look really nice too. I cant believe how much those Mono LPs go for now but when you see the price people are asking for the box sets now it's kind of understandable . So glad I got the box set when it came out, Ive save myself a fortune although not really as Ive just blown it on other beatles stuff . Anyway keep up the good work , you're channel is going great and I hope you're enjoying it
Thank you very much, Tone. I will say sometimes it is more work than I thought. I also find it somewhat strange about what people like and becomes more popular and what isn’t. As always, I am happy for your support.
The Searchers...My 2nd favorite band from Liverpool! You got marvelous deals! And, for a collector myself, I am surprised that I have never seen that Stones comp...When you first displayed it, I was thinking bootleg...But, the label looks legit...And my wife loves colored vinyl....I would love to find the record player too...I'm in California, so it would probably cost me an arm and a leg...Peace and Love, Terry Tutor
I can’t decide on my 2 nd favorite Mersey group for sure although the Searchers are way up there because there are many but I love the simplicity of that music. I was told the Stones LP is a compilation. I never saw it before either but I am not really a Stones collector besides their records. I am trying to fill in their main catalog but I won’t go further than that. Not getting the original record player way back then when I could was one of my big collecting mistakes. But, I am going to love the one that I finally got. It was under one hundred dollars and not seven thousand! I appreciate your being part of this channel. I am really happy getting to know everybody.
'A Little Beatles Corner' is a brilliant name for a channel, the George Martin book purchased for six bucks is a steal and your Beatles record player looks beautiful. My three all time favorite Beatles tracks have to be 'Dear Prudence', 'Eleanor Rigby' and especially 'Martha My Dear' (what an underrated song it is). Anyway, Beatles forever...
My favorite song is Eleanor Rigby too if I had to only pick one. I thank you for watching the video and I hope you come back again. You must be from the UK since you say” brilliant”. I love the UK.
I looked up "No Stone Unturned," and found that it was a 1973 compilation, 8 of its 12 songs were B-sides previously not on LP. I like the photo taken in The Cavern, which you have on the wall behind you.
I appreciate this information. I think it is kind of a special record. I have a lot of the Stones main catalog but I don’t really know that much about their records. I like that Cavern shot a lot. There are so many photos you can put up but this is one that stands out for me. I have had it for so many years now. Thank you for watching my video. I am not any kind of professional you tuber and I am glad that people like what I am sharing. I appreciate you very much.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give me a little information about the record and thank you very much for taking your time to watch my channel. I do appreciate you.
I'm a 70-year-old first generation fan too but i am not a collector. I only buy cds to actually listen to. The only box set i purchased is the Revolver CD box set. (Giles Martin's remix) I'm on Social Security & cannot afford collecting. Great seeing what you have though!
Thank you very much for watching. I do have a budget too although sometimes I do break it. There have been many things collecting is an expensive endeavor and you are right, having the music is the most important thing.
Thank you very much for viewing this video. I am just a nutty first gen fan who accidentally got involved in all of this. I appreciate your time and your support.
Thank you. I think I got lucky getting this album in the shape that it is in I think. It is perfect. Thank you for the info and for taking the time to let me know.
I was going to criticize some things in your collection, but you seemed like such a nice lady, and humble too, that I'm just going to say, " Have a good day, sunshine".
If I deserve criticism that is alright. I am not a professional RU-vidr and I do make mistakes. I am trying not to make mistakes but I know that I do. I will try to do better.
I will show the Dezo photos to you. Probably after the next video that I have planned do. I am happy to see that there are a few people who would like to see them. I think this was one collecting thing that to me was worth investing in. I am very grateful that you subscribed. I am having so much fun “meeting” other Beatle nuts.
I am familiar with the Liverbirds but not the other artists. I will look into their work, thank you! Thank you for watching the video. I appreciate your time.
We lifetime Beatles fans all feel the same way. We have been lucky in a way that we have had so much from all of them even though they were no longer together. It is all bittersweet you know? I think you are from Australia and if so I am really floored that you spent your time in my video. If you are not from Australia no matter, I do thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you come back again.
The stones lp is a uk release fron 1974 came out between goats head soup and its only rock and roll. Its a Compilation lp 8 of the songs are b sides in the uk the rest of them were from uk eps. Hope that helps. Chgo fest in a month!
Thank you for educating me about this record. I watch your channel and I enjoy it very much. You have a fabulous collection which you already know. I would like to know how the Beatles became part of your life. Maybe you talked about it on your channel, I don’t know. I do appreciate your watching this video very much.
Hi-fi enthusiasts will be in the comments calling these little suitcase record players grotty but the truth is they sound fine. Just be sure to keep your records clean and have the lid open all the way if you're playing an LP. Harry Moss at Abbey Road even said once that the Beatles' records were pressed in such a way that they'd sound good even on the cheap plastic record players of the '60s, as that's all most teenagers could afford. And while today's cheap plastic may be nearly as flimsy, the electronics inside are pretty gear by those standards, especially with a decent pair of headphones.
Thank you for not calling me out on buying the record player. It is more of a sentimental thing and just for nostalgia show. You are right, back then we all only had cheap record players and we played the heck out of our records. I put a beat up one on the player just for show and it looks nice. Maybe I will christen the player with one record spin. Thank you very much for your support in watching the video and I hope you come back.
I don’t mind sharing how much I paid. I am sure I pay too much sometimes but maybe people would like to have an idea. Yes, the record player is silly but it is more of a sentimental thing not getting one 60 years ago.
