I don't mind them being played a lot, as long as it wasn't excessively! These things were made to play hundreds of times before you start losing top end, and distortion sets in (depending on the tracking force)!
You’re making me pull out my 45s to see if there are any I can upgrade. I never get tired of looking at (and playing) these singles. In many ways, they are the core of my collection. The LPs are great too, but nothing beats two perfect songs on a single.
yeah. i honestly prefer EPs though, you get the best of both. A nice picture sleeve to look over, a variety of tracks, and also the best-of format of an single and its faster speed and lower size. I'd much rather have simply just the Beatles For Sale EP than an Eight Days A Week or an LP.
I was hoping to also see the 45s of “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “All You Need is Love”. However, I loved seeing all of the others.👍👍 I love your channel.
There was also a version of the all green Parlophone sleeve that had only the word Instruments replaced with Industries but without the whole line being retypeset, so the word "Industries" is in a different font to the rest of the line.
You are in my Top 5 Beatles RU-vidr list. Your deep-dive videos are so interesting, i'v watched every video like 3 times. I appreciate your videos especially because I'm a young Beatles fan that's collecting their vinyl. As I get bigger collection, i'l buy a rare record from you. Again, thank you!
Yes, the first couple of singles, and it’s even on album track listings too, were credited to ‘McCartney-Lennon’..... it was an arrangement that they had back then! It all changed soon after though. There is more to it, but I don’t have the sources to hand.....
@@stevesstuff1450 what is odd is that LMD was Lennon-McCartney but PPM & From Me to you & most of the Please Please Me album were McCartney-Lennon, i believe there was a meeting during 1963 to iron this out & Macca claims John did a bit of lobbying behind the scenes with Epstein poss relating to their famous holiday in June 1963. the time line certainly fits
~> I'm looking for info on EMI's Salesman's Exclusive Beatles Presentation Box 1962-1970 set of 45s that came in a yellow cardboard fold-up box with blue print that I got directly from EMI around 1976. Each 45 has a "NOT FOR SALE" sticker and the box says "NOT FOR SALE" as well.
Why oh why did I sell most of my 1960’s pressings of Beatles singles and EP’s. Fortunately I still have some which I treasure. I can’t believe I misplaced my early Parlophone copy of She loves You which had the Title and Artist in large print on the label.
- 1:13 didn't understand what stamp you're referring to (the same goes to the other singles you mentioned). So far, from what I've learnt in your videos, I must pay attention to labels, sleeves, and matrix. Now you talk about stamps hahahaha. God, how many things are left to notice? - Love Me Do and Please Please Me had no wavey edge sleeve? What other later singles with green sleeve had straight edge? (not all are showed in the video, that's why I'm asking) - Is matrix ending in -1 or -1 N always the first cut of the Beatles records (both LPs and EPs) or there are some that began the cut differently? - 7:00 I see the I Feel Fine sleeve has PARLOPHONE & EMI in front side. The previus ones only had PARLOPHONE symbol in the bottom center. Is this ok with the date of the single? - 7:57 the date now changes from "Recording first Published..." to just ℗ .... That's how it is from Ticket to Ride onwards? - What's the back side sleeve of Help like? - Hello Goodbye and Hey Jude have push-out centers, but in Eleanor Rigby you said by late 1966 they have solid centers. So what's the story with that?

They say " EMI LIMITED HAYES MIDDLESEX" , which is the place where the Abbey Road Studios(EMI) custom ( all tube ) recording equipment was made.
Andrew....how rare was it for Parlophone to not put a B Side label on a 45? I ask because I had a copy of She Loves You without a label on the I'll Get You side, in a picture sleeve.
I thought the early pressing of Love Me Do would say ' McCartney - Lennon' as Please Please Me does but the one you shows says ' Lennon - McCartney'...
Hi Andrew, love your videos and admire your knowledge. Can you tell me about the Irish pressings of Beatles records. I haveca please please me single with a -1 matrix. Made in Ireland printed on record. Many thanks.
Can anyone help me ? my Love Me Do has on the left hand side MP vertically and ZT horizontal with 1 underneath and on the right hand side of the record G 11 ?
I have stupid question, I apologise for it.. Why the "Gt. Britain"? Why not UK (U.K.) or GB maybe the GBR abbreviations? And for anyone that don't know it.. most things were frequently stamped "Made In England" referring to the country as a whole and not the city there of. As someone that handled post for a international photo lab, "Gt. Britain" just looks strange. Ok, thank you. ☮️
it all depends what they have been played on those sixties record players were putting 4grams of weight on the records at that time much too much weight at the time .chipped stylus worn out stylus killed the signal path with one play they can look mint and sound poor getting these to play without any distortion or groove wear is rare.if sounds bad but looks great it's still a poor grading
Andrew play grades the 45s he sells, so there is little worry of getting a 45 that plays badly. I bought most of my Beatles 45s from him and can attest that they played as advertised.
@@Parlogram that's great my comment wasent aimed at you or anyone but there is a lot of records on the likes of ebay that are only fit for the bin and not for playing many sellers dont know how to grade and some dont even play them it sounds like you are a professional seller and a credit to ebay keep up the great work with your videos .
@@justinparkman3585 firstly why would you buy an original minter 45 & want to play it ( just go by a cheap 76 re-issue instead ), secondly that is not my experience, most mint looking 45's will play mint but yes there will be a small few that do not but o have found that they are the exception. There are audiophiles & there are collectors, some are both, many are not. & what is the point of sellers play grading records when different set ups can play very differently, i had a guy send me back a record that jumped 4 times on one side, i played it & it never jumped once, turned out his tracking weight was set too lightly, he said " oh i wondered why a lot of records jumped "
