We look at the Parlophone UK stereo LP catalogue, from the first gold stereo label release in 1960 to the last, 'Please, Please Me' in 1963. Using the 42 original vinyl LPs, we see how this label was the most unlikely home for the band who would change the face of popular music.

for true hardcore fans, all of these Parlophone Gold Stereo albums (including Please Please Me) should have been released together as a collectible CD box set

Awesome job, Andrew. When people are ever curious as to why the Beatles hit so hard in the early 60’s, just as Elvis did in the mid 50’s, it’s important to look at the musical landscape they each had for “competition”. In both cases, it was no accident.

People often say the Parlaphone never had any hits till the Beatles came along yet I can think of 5 #1's & loads of others in the top 10, just remember Adam Faith for a start..

Another excellent video and very informative about the pre-Beatles Parlophone period which most people ignore... PS... John Lennon may hated this type of music but had the Beatles never existed, Parlophone release PCS 3042 would have been "Paul McCartney sings favourites from the Mrs Miller songbook"...

I was surprised (and a little impressed) to see that the opening track on PCS 3025 - Adam Faith's self-titled second album - was a cover of Bobby Parker's great rocker "Watch Your Step", the record that famously inspired the guitar riffs of both "I Feel Fine" and "Day Tripper"! I just listened to Adam's version on RU-vid. Well... he tried.

One of Parlophone’s first stereo albums was Michael Flanders and Donald Swann called “At The Drop of a Hat” was also released in the US on Capitol’s sub label, Angel Records in 1960. The album “Songs for Swingin’ Sellers” by Peter Sellers was only released in the UK, but it was never released in the US until the 1980’s when it was on the EMI America label in the US. The album “Road to the Isles” by the Glasgow Phoenix Choir was released in the UK only, but never released in the US. The album “Step We Gaily” by Jimmy Shane and His Band was also released in the US on the Mercury label. The album “Mexican Fiesta” by Pepe Jaramillo was also released in the US on the King label. The album “Old Time Music Hall” by Tony Osborne was also released in the US on the Capitol label and retitled as “An English Music Hall”, and it was part of “Capitol of the World” series. The album “Adam” by Adam Faith was also released in the US on the MGM label. The album “Beware! The Vikings Are Over Us” by Papa Bue’s Viking Jazz Band was only released in the UK, but it was never released in the US.

The album “Milligan’s Preserved” by Spike Milligan was only released in the UK, but it was never released in the US. The album “Serenade” by Ron Goodwin and his Orchestra was also released in Canada on the Capitol label and retitled as “Elizabethan Serenade”, but not sure if it was released in the US or not.

The album “Elaine & Derek” was only released in the UK, but never released in the US. The album by Joe “Mr. Piano” Henderson was only released in the UK, but never released in the US. His self titled second album was only released in the UK, but never released in the US, because MGM Records already had his only album in the US called “Adam”, so he would never released his second album for the MGM label again. The album “The Bestiary of Flanders & Swann” was also released in the US on Capitol’s sub label, Angel Records. The album “Songs We Love” by the Glasgow Phoenix Choir was only released in the UK, but never released in the US. The album “Holiday in Beirut” was only released in the UK, but never released in the US, because Capitol had a few albums in the US which were part of the “Capitol of the World” series until Capitol ended the US deal.

The album “Bridge on the River Wye” was only released in the UK, but never released in the US.

And the final album “Songs of the Sea” by William Clauson was only released in the UK, but never released in the US. Those were a batch of pre-Beatles albums that were released in the UK on the Parlophone label, except a few were released in the US on various labels like Capitol, Angel, MGM, King, Bethlehem, and Mercury labels.

"only released in the UK" is a misnomer, as many of these were released outside the UK, just not the U.S. I can confirm the Sellers, Milligan and Adam Faith stuff was certainly released here in New Zealand.

Very interesting video! However, I must take issue with the dismissal of Terry Nelhams as a purveyor of fluff! True, most of his output was firmly and squarely placed in that category but the track 'Knocking On Wood' is an absolute belter with some absolutely cracking guitar playing and top notch drumming: no idea who played on it, but it don't half sound like Big Jim Sullivan (or possibly Vic Flick) on guitar and Clem Cattini on drums to me! I don't suppose anyone out there knows exactly who it was? Anyway, stick that track on, turn up the volume and listen to two minutes of pure joy! Keep up the good work, Andrew!

I was always curious about what the other albums were in the Parlophone catalogue in between or before Beatles albums, some really unusual and random releases. The irony today is that, thanks to new owners Warners, big stars of the early 60s like Cliff & The Shadows that were on Columbia now find their EMI catalogue on.... Parlophone!

That was a super left-field look at the market surrounding the Beatles , just when you thought there was nothing else to touch on..well done Andy. There is something magical about the gold label , mono or stereo. I’ve had many a heartbeat momentarily stop for a second when flicking the racks in charity shops and you espy a sleeveless Gold parlophone label in its inner sleeve and just for a split second you wonder “is it?”...no such luck You also get that “is it?” rush when you see a red Parlophone label 45 in unexpected places and once in a while I’ve gotten lucky there... I’ve got a Mono Gold and it was handed to me on a plate really as the guy knew what he had but gave it to me simply because he knew I was a fan , I’ve still got it , neither the sleeve nor the record are in the best of condition but it’s still a nice addition to the collection.

I hope in the future, we’ll talk about “Capitol Records Before The Beatles” where he will feature the albums that were in the US on Capitol including Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Stan Kenton, Peggy Lee, Jo Stafford, Louis Prima, Al Martino, Dean Martin, Ray Anthony, Billy May, The Beach Boys and just to name a few before the Beatles came along, plus some classical and original Broadway cast and soundtrack albums from “Carousel”, “The King And I”, “Oklahoma” and “The Music Man”, and let’s not forget Stan Freberg. He put out a string of albums on Capitol during the 1950’s, and he was best known for “St. George and the Dragonet” and “Christmas Dragnet”.

Somehow missed this fascinating episode years ago. Did you know Ronnie Wood's eldest brother Ted was in the Temperance Seven? His next oldest brother, Art of the eponymously named Artwoods, has his own incredibly rare and prized LP on Decca "Art Gallery" (1966) which easily fetches multiple hundreds.

This is a really great in depth video on the Pre-Beatles Parlophone history. I’m always updating my personal history of the Parlophone label and it really was those underdog labels that did prove to be history making. Look at all the artist now:Kylie Minogue, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Lily Allen, etc.

14:01 And here's where things get interesting as we see the introduction of the big rectangular Parlophone logo in the upper left corner. So many covers that were stock photos or throwaway designs drafted up quickly in the art dept... and make sure to include a prominent Parlophone logo up in the upper left corner! Provides some great context as to what preceded the Please Please Me photo and cover design, and shows how striking With The Beatles would be less than a year later.

Thank you for a fascinating and very informative program, and for your arduous work ih building a nearly complete collection of early stereo releases on Parlophone. About the only quibble I'd have is the claim that George Martin didn't record traditional jazz on Parlophone until 1960. Nonsense: he'd been recording "trad" bands since he joined the label in 1952, including Parlophone's early-1950's best-seller, Humphrey Lyttleton. I have a CD reissue of Freddy Randall's Parlophone recordings from the 1950's, "Your Tiny Band Is Frozen" (a pun on "Che gelida manina" from Puccini's opera "La Bohème,” which means "Your tiny hand is frozen"), produced by George Martin and originally released as singles. Also the Temperance Seven were trying to reproduce the 1920's, not 1904 (their biggest hit, "You're Driving Me Crazy," was written in 1930 and recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1931). And the story about the distributors of the film "The Bridge on the River Kwai" forcing George Martin and his engineer to edit out the "K" sound from "KwaI" on their LP was told by George Martin himself in his 1979 autobiography "All You Need Is Ears"

Another fascinating and informative video. It is incredible to think that this label...which seemed to be a place for the no longer cool or hip...would release The Beatles and soon become a label everyone wanted on. But you got to give Parlophone credit...they still made quality jackets and vinyl for these acts. ..they could have easily took a cheaper route. I look forward to your next video. ..oh and I'm still hoping for an original mono vs 2014 mono reissue comparison video....mainly because I've read loads of articles that claim the 2014 mono reissues to be superior in some examples. Take care and I hope you and your family are healthy and safe. Mark Anthony K Projekt Gemineye

Parlophone was a strange label pre-Beatles. Among all the comedy and novelty stuff they released some great and very collectable American R&B (Little Wllie John, The Jayhawks, Hank Ballard, The Charms, James Brown,) and those lovely 10" albums by Billy Ward & His Dominoes and The Platters. Some really rare rockabilly too (Boyd Bennet, Mac Curtis (holy grail), Vince Taylor). They stuck out albums by some of those aforementioned R&B acts as well. I'd love to see you cover that 50's period but I guess there's no Beatles relevance.
@vinylcrow3789

Here in Australia Parlophone would still use that label for first pressings with the difference being they changed the color to silver instead of gold. Only the first two Beatles albums were gold
@peterx1957
@peterx1957 3 года назад
The Black/Silver variant was used for the stereo pressings in Australia up until 1969. The black/gold was strictly mono here, replaced in 1964 by the black/yellow until 1969, where it was briefly transitioned to stereo pressings in a few instances.

Thank you, Andrew. Looks like I'm a late viewer, having only discovered your channel by chance when you cover albums by that obscure Liverpool group. While interesting, and I can certainly understand the collectability, I'll admit the majority are albums I'd see in the bins as I scoured the local used record shops and laughed at as I looked for something else. Okay, anything else. I live in Vancouver, Canada, and picked up a Swingin' Sellers album several years ago. I found it funny that it ended up half a world away but it's a prized part of my vinyl collection, nonetheless. From sleeve to album, it's in almost pristine condition. Thank you again, and I look forward to more videos.

Hi Andrew. This really is a fascinating video. I revisited it today as I came across a 1969 stereo Australian copy the first mentioned LP PCSO 3001. The label is fascinating because it's on the black/yellow variant with a stereo logo. The black/yellow was exclusively used for the Australian mono pressings until they were quietly deleted in 1969. The stereos had previously been pressed on the 'old style' black/silver with stereo banner,' similar to the old black/gold imprint. The stereos transitioned briefly to the black/yellow with 'STEREO' added either above the Parlophone wording, then later opposite the catalogue number. Just curious that you mention that the release of Flanders & Swann was issued in late 1960 but PCS 3003 Peter Sellers was issued in 1959? Hmm. Thanks. 😊

Another wonderfully made video about a subject that is right up my alley. I think those old EMI UK lp's with the flipback covers are some of the finest ever. In fact, it is very hard for me not to buy them, even if the music is of marginal interest to me. The output of the Parlophone label at the time shows what a tremendous impact the boys have had on the label in particular, and the music business in general. Interestingly, the jangly honky tonk Steinway upright that was mostly used by Mrs. Mills still resides at the Abbey Road Studios to this day. It was also used by The Beatles on multiple occasions (Penny Lane, Lady Madonna, ...). But you knew that, of course. Loved it! Keep 'em coming.

6:28 is the UK release of “Out of a This World” on the Parlophone label, and it was later released in the US on the Capitol label as “Music in Orbit” which was part of the “Capitol of the World” series. Capitol did put out the “Capitol of the World” series from 1958 until the early 1960’s where they put out many of their albums in the US where they were previously released on the Parlophone label. So they took the Parlophone masters, and put them on that label. That was before the Beatles came to Capitol in 1964 after a label agreement with Vee-Jay Records for their “Introducing The Beatles” album in 1963, and the whole “Beatlemania” craze was in full gear when the Beatles came to the US, and “I Want To Hold Your Hand” was the first Beatles single to hit #1 in the US on the Capitol after the first few singles are on the other label, Vee-Jay. 3:52 is the UK release of “Music For An Arabian Night” also by Ron Goodwin on the Parlophone label, and it was later released in the US on the Capitol label in 1960.

Wow. Since you've done all of the work and come this far, you ought to approach Parlophone and produce a compiled CD box set release of all of these titles. Just out of curiosity, what kind of money did it take to acquire them all from the lowest to highest amount. How much did it take for you to let go of the one you had?
@Parlogram
@Parlogram 4 года назад
I collected them over a period of about 10 years and never paid more than 10-20 GBP each. I can't remember how much I got for the one I let go, but it wasn't very much. I doubt there would be any interest in any company release anything from them today.

I knew that Parlophone was a lesser label, but good grief, it really was the backwater of the musical world. Yet like a scene out of "The Producers", the lowliest label with the lowliest producer records a lowly band from a lowly city and becomes a hit factory that changes the path of pop music.

I have the US pressing of the album you're speaking about at 10:35, mine is on the Angel label. Will have to listen to it. I figured Sophia Loren and Peter Sellers were an interesting mixture. Thanks for the story about it.

I have a couple of these! At the Drop of a Hat and Song for Swingin' Sellers. I also have a stereo E.P. of the Temperence Seven - which is flippin amazing, and I can't recommend them enough. One of my favourite early Parlophone songs I really love, is Eve Boswell's 'Pickin' a Chicken', but I have that on a 78. it sounds great though, amazing cut! I'm not sure a 45 could sound better :)

I have Francisco Chavez, don't mind a bit of exotica, I'm in Australia, but it's a UK pressing, which i like because of the much better covers than the Aussie versions, i love British jazz from the 60 s/70s, always looking for that stuff, and rock, blues, psych, prog, i just love records

Andrew - I have to comment here again. While I was researching for my special broadcast tribute to Sergio Mendes, I stumbled upon an album released by Parlophone by Brazilian artist Dorival Caymmi in 1957 so it is in mono only. The name of the album is "Caymmi E O Mar" and it has the original recording of Promise Of A Fisherman which Sergio Mendes and Brasil '77 covered for their last A&M album Primal Roots in 1972. The Parlophone lp in question has the prefix CPMC instead of PMC. While I understand you only featured stereo albums in this video, do you have any idea why the catalog number has the CPMC prefix? Also, does George Martin then also the head of A&R of Parlophone knows all the releases of the label as soon as he started that position in 1955?
@Parlogram
@Parlogram 3 дня назад
The 'C' prefix usually denoted an export pressing. I'm sure George Martin would have had to approve the release.

George Martin goes to the local corner market to get his lottery ticket as the cashier has a small conversation with him. "Hello Mr. Martin, I see you here to buy your lottery ticket today. A quick pick Mr. Martin? Here you are Sir, your quick pick is PCS3042. Sounds like a winner. Good luck Mr. Martin".

Sleeves were quite thicker on black/gold parlophone than on later black/yellow. I weighted some and it turned to be 96 grams for black/gold and 73 grams for black/yellow label. Same kind of weight degradation for vinyl mass. As for the topic I wonder about missing Humphrey Lyttelton in the parlophone stereo list.
@Parlogram
@Parlogram 4 года назад
The only Humphrey Lyttelton LP I am aware of on Parlophone is "Triple Exposure" (PMC 1110) in 1959, which was only issued in mono.

From Adam With Love is Adam's first album worth listening to IMO, but it's still not as good as his stuff with The Roulettes which is where he really shines. That first LP is abysmal, and really shows how far ahead Cliff & The Shads were compared to everyone else prior to the Fabs.

I love Parlophone and Capitol Records because of The Beatles! 🎸♥️🇺🇲🇬🇧 Parlophone, Columbia, Stateside, HMV EMI(The Gramophone Ltd. Co.) is hands down the oldest and we'll known best phono company. As said in their slogan, "The Greatest Recording Organization In The World"! FYI yes I know there's flaws over The Beatles being pressed by Capitol because they've mixed their tracks on their own LPs. One example, Rubber Soul US which I first owned, almost have all the tracks but only two are from Help! Replacing Drive My Car and Nowhere Man to I've Just Seen The Face and It's Only Love. As well taking off What Goes On and If I Needed Someone. I love both US and UK versions tho

In addition to Parlophone with its pre-Beatles albums, there was Motown. In the beginning, Motown is a label based in the US where they put out a lot of earlier hits including “Please Mr. Postman” by the Marvelettes became their first million seller in 1961 along with “Shop Around” by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. During the first few years, Motown had many of their hits in the US, but it never made it to the UK until the mid 1960’s when “Baby Love” by Diana Ross & The Supremes became their first #1 hit in the UK, and the rest was history. When all of the Motown artists brought to the UK in 1965, they formed Tamla Motown which was part of EMI and it became their first Motown label for the UK. Tamla Motown was added to the EMI label family along with Parlophone, Columbia, His Master’s Voice (HMV), Stateside and Music For Pleasure (MFP). I’ve also been a Motown fan for life, and like I mentioned, Tamla Motown was the first black label for the UK where they put out R&B and soul stuff throughout the 1960’s like the Four Tops, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Jr. Walker & the All-Stars, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and many more. I hope “Parlogram Auctions” will plan on doing Tamla Motown stuff soon while taking a break from his Beatles collections.

Ahhh... But PCS 3001 wasn't the first out... The catalogue numbers don't match up with the order mastered and released. The YEX numbers give more of a clue. The albums which don't have a white strip at the top of the cover with the title and the word 'stereo' came out AFTER the albums without the strip but with the gold "EMI STEREOPHONIC RECORDING" sticker in 1958/59.
