The Beatles Collection 

I love The Beatles. They are quite literally the only band that transcend time because everyone alive today have heard a Beatles song unlike anyone else prior to them, even Elvis despite the movies.

I found a crazy Beatles collection here in the UK just last week all original pressings.

I love the Beatles. They are my favorite band.

It's hard for me not to get jealous seeing this beautiful collection^

Hi 👋 l grew up in the 1960s, i remember the Beatles songs and albums well. I liked many groups of that decade but nothing stands out more than the Beatles. They excited me back in 1964. I have most of there albums.

Great video, Chad. I enjoyed your discussion with Kent as well as the flip through of his fantastic collection!

That's a truly awesome Beatles collection. I have some friends that have the original Quad ESL's and had them modified, they sound great, superb mid and upper mid reproduction.

It was very inspiring and empowering to watch a man sell his Beatles collection with such joy and vigor for life moving forward. I need to end up being able to part with my treasures the way this man can, with such a good spirit. Because we all know we can’t take them where we’re going. But this treasure hunt of a life is the only life for me

Chad with the ever present and patented chin push while resleeving that record lol! We all do it😂

Manythnx! I really enjoy seeing this stuff✌️

So cool - thanks for sharing guys

I've been collecting Beatles Vinyl for close to 50 years now and have almost all the Japanese first issues.They're all extremely difficult to find Test Pressings. I bought most of these from a couple Japanese Journalists who where gifted these records from Toshiba in the 60's. Most are Red Wax and in Unplayed or Mint- condition. Have many 45's also and those are all Test Pressings. I have the Abbey Road Pro-use and Pink Floyd D.S.O.T.M. and they're both Test Pressings also. The First issues sound great, but these Test Pressings are personally my favorite in comparison to all the other versions that i own as well. What I've noticed by personally comparison with these records is that while most if not all other versions will, as volumes increase begin to distort. These Japanese first issue Test Pressings all seem to love gain. The more gain you give them the cleaner they sound with a larger growing Soundstage, and not at ear bleeding volumes either. I was amazed when the Journalists showed me this many years ago. I didn't believe it at first, they sounded good, but then he played a few different vinyl versions and i easily heard the difference, and didn't even think that by increasing the gain it would sound so much bigger, better etc, i just figured it would only get louder. The stock Japanese 1st Issues sound good, but the earliest Test Pressings have, for lack of a better word, juiced up by Toshiba even in comparison to their own stock Pressings. This has been done by I other record companies for many years to this day to impress Journalists , so they give a larger praise, which leads to, in the end more sales and more $$. The better your stereo equipment can reveal this is obviously a huge issue and a path we're all on toward the absolute sound.

Outstanding!!

Amazing Collection!! If you're a Quad Electrostatic Speaker Guy, then you have to have Kent at Electrostatic Solutions rebuild your pair!! His touches on these panels and electronics are just genius!!

TREMENDOUS COLLECTION ..👍👍👍

I love that blue the Beatles BC13 Collection in stereo.👍🙂

Sweet collection!

This is definitely the cat's meow for Beatles fans! 😻

Only heard Quads once, but man were they beautiful. Owner plunked me in the sweet spot and just wow. Maybe someday I'll find a reasonable set to call my own.

That Get Back album was not just outtakes. That was the proposed mix by Glynn Johns and rejected by the Beatles.

Where’s Mean Mr Mayo at?

Here we go

The Butcher Album 1st State did make it out to record stores, for only a day or two, before they were all recalled by Capitol

You didn’t have or show the 1988 Beatles Collection 16CD Roll Top Black Box set and Booklet, I have that because a friend gave it to me in 1988 as he had connections with the distributor at the time!

Chad Rock's!!

There would be a good reason why at that time there was Original Master Recordings of the UK Beatles Albums and US Magical Mystery Tour in the early 1980s is that if they had control Apple Corps would have refused permission for this to take place. From the time that The Beatles Contract with EMI expired in 1976 to Apple Corps gaining control over what The Beatles released in 1988/89, is that The Beatles had no control over what EMI released, and that is why all those compliations appeared plus Live At The Hollywood Bowl.

Those Japanese red Mono pressings from 82 are the best sounding and very quiet. So glad I bought them when they came out. Does anyone know if the same masters were used on the mofi black box as the individual LPs ? Abbey Road was 1979 and the rest were after the box in 82 ! The UHQR Pepper sounds ok, but not the best , wish I’d known about DSOTM UHQR when that came out. There also a Japanese mono box of singles on red vinyl too.

All Those Beatles Albums Are Rocking.😂❤

Hi Chad .. David here, from Broussard La. I’m a huge fan. :) Have you ever considered reissuing/remastering the four (Or 5?) album set of of Shelly Manne and His Men at the Black Hawk? Seems overdue to me. :)

Presidents of local Beatles fan clubs got the Butcher LPs as well, and then Capitol sent a letter later asking for their return.

Chad, is your peeled Butcher Cover is a east coast #3 cover, I could finish off the peel to look great. Thanks Frank

Cool collection, The US (A Hard Day's Night) album was not true stereo but taken from a Mono source. That is why there is no double tracking like the stereo UK version, but you can hear better single tracking from the original UK (A Hard Day's Night) mono LP and EP. That Red Mono box would be awesome to have but I have a good Beatles LP collection with many originals and the prices today are out of control, NM albums you could find for $20-30 5 years ago are going for 100+. I hope new Beatles vinyl continues to be of the highest quality.

Really nice Beatles collection. For the person who is an audiophile, the British and Japan pressings are the best sonically, especially the MONOs.

Unfortunately some repeated misinformation here . . . on the actual EMI tape boxes are the dates that the master tapes were dubbed, and dubs sent out, for the MFSL cuts. So none of the MFSL discs were cut from THE master, always a 2nd gen (albeit high-quality) copy of the original. And in the case of 'Magical Mystery Tour,' the disc was cut from 4th-6th gen tapes (and boy, does it sound slushy as a result). Curiously, the 'Abbey Road' and 'MMT' sold outside the MFSL box both have different EQ than the versions in the box.

A great peeled 3rd State Butcher Cover is worth much more than a unpeeled 2nd State. I buy, peel & sell Butcher Covers every week. Thank you very much, MR Stickermania

I just bought a US red Capitol target label copy of "Revolver." Do you know if this has ever been counterfeited? I still can't believe I found one.

Find it amazing that such a collection does not use protective outer sleeves?

Are they for sale

Nice collection! 👍 That's the first I've heard of later 80's pressings being "valuable" though.. I thought it was the opposite, as those are digital cuts from '87 on, which aren't anywhere near as desirable as the earlier analog cuts, at least sonically. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Interesting to watch and never really trusted Chad and hearing the story of Mofi Lp rarity backs that up!

How much are 12 of 13, no Hard Days Night, unopened albums worth? Early ones are UK versions in mono and 5 later ones have a Limited Edition sticker on cellophane cover.

That Yesterday & Today does not have the original inner sleeve.

At least Peter Max admitted the Yellow Submarine art wasn’t his, but he still claimed to be the art director on the Yellow Submarine movie even though he wasn’t involved at all, Heinz Edelmann was and did all the designs which happened to be similar to Max’s style so he must have had no qualms continuing to take the credit. Anyway nice collection! I keep hoping to stumble onto a butcher cover one day, but I think the days of that happening are long gone

Why is there a red and a black mono collection?

I wonder how the Nimbus sounds compared to the 1983 EMI Australia half speed?

OMG! Two old geeky nerds. Geeking over another Geeks Beatles collection. Haven't seen this much geekiness since the Beanie Baby rage.

Pity that Kent's Quads aren't sold in Germany or Europe in general...

That was not the Beatles playing, what was the name of the cover band?

Condition, condition, and condition again followed by pressing, mastering that's just the vinyl then there is the jacket lol

I would love to have the mono collections, the problem is, I dont like the Beatles in mono with the exception of Rubber Soul.

respect, but no end for collectors, also stones, Elvis, 🤑👍

This Guy ie NO BEAYLES fan as he would have known about the Butcher cover!

If the guy with the grey t-shirt handled my records like that, I'd throw him out my house.

Great collection. A bit too rich for my blood. Good luck to those who need them. Chad, why not press up some UHQR of the Beatles, eh?

Chad teasing Beatles AAA releases coming from AP...

These two old men seem more into having the merch than the music.

I’m glad that a painful fact for many is being laid on the table; every Beatles (And Elvis) is NOT RARE. Everyone who comes across ANY of the records insists “I’ve got The Beatles and Elvis! I’ve got RARE RECORDS!” And most of what is out there are ruined, 99th generation pressings. They are NOT “Rare Records”!

Wait until he finds out other bands exist

I have tried multiple times to get into the Beatles. I don’t get the hype beyond the hype. To me they are the spice girls of the 60-70’s

Record collection sellers, caveat vendor…you might be swimming with sharks.

Horrible company with horrible customer service. I sincerely hope that acoustic sounds goes out of business and honestly it is only a matter of time. All I have to do is sit back and watch.

Capital pressings suck!!! It’s a known fact.

Mofi Beatles sucks in terms of sound

QRP and their quality control is garbage. I purchased five Prestige Analogue Productions titles and their loaded with surface hairlines. RTI is far superior. Sorry, I needed that rant. 😅
