The Beatles Records You've NEVER Seen | Beatles Museum #3 

Right there with you - I've been collecting 78s since I was a little boy (it was the 70s - people were cleaning out their collections as stereo became the standard), and like you, I have been obsessed with Beatles 78s since I first learned of them. The Indian ones were the first ones about which I learned. The ones from the Phillipines and the others we see in this videos are newer to me, but I do love those colorful labels. I continue to dream that there will be new, audiophile-grade vinyl pressings of those 78s, remastered from the best mono sources. An even crazier idea would be boxed versions of each of their U.K. albums (the term album comes from the 78 era, when longer works had to be issued on multiple records and were sold in sets; like photo albums) in mono and stereo versions. Hey - I can dream! I hope you find an actual Beatles 78 some day that isn't a zillion dollars - and I hope I do, too!

Wow, thank you!

Glad you're enjoying it, Dutch!

Glad you enjoyed it, Bob!

Don't worry, Nigel - regular programming will return in October.

Cheers, Brad. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It was a good one ... But you know LOL I did see some Vinyl that I did have in my Collection :). Cheers mate!!!!!

My pleasure, Roger.

Glad you enjoyed it, Nicholas.

Glad you like them, Paul. Final episode next week.

Well spotted!

Guessing this could be due to perceived drug references in the other songs.

Cheers!

Thanks again, David!

Glad you liked it, Diego!

San 2507. Well said!!!!

Thanks Nelio. Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, Louise!

You are right

Thanks for the information, Kyle!

@@Parlogram Thanks. I've learned a lot of stuff from your channel about Beatles collections. We used to have a mix of Philippine and foreign pressings of Beatles LPs but they were all destroyed by the flashfloods brought by Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) in 2009. I just started to collect again last year with US, Japan, and Philippine pressings.

Thanks. The PVC issue was was mentioned.

So your "best friend" threw that rarity away knowing just how much it meant to you? With friends like that...

@@RAFchurchlawford4469 yep I know man

They were shellac, Graham.

@@Parlogram Thanks, Andrew. I always become very nervous when I'm around very rare and valuable shellac discs!

Hi, are you argentinian? Do you know anything about the 1973 stereo reissues? I think they are the best I have heard, the closest to the original editions Uk

@@soymartin07 hello. Yes, I’m from there. And yes,i own a few bunch of stereo albums. The “Por favor yo” 70s repressing got a weird matrix number “YEX 94-1” on the A side, and “YEX 95-1” I played it on a stereo phonographer and I can tell that the sound is great. “Con los Beatles” album is good too, but not as the first one. “Colección de viejos temas” (Oldies but goldies) is great too. I can tell that that album is a good one for Beatles starters. The thins I don’t like from the 70s and 80s reissues are that the sleeves are very weak. My 70s “con los Beatles” had suffered very much before I own it. “Por favor yo” is near mint. Imagine that 50 years had passed and still looks as good as new Edit: still, I forgot some. I’ll make a list and critics of the album I got. “Por favor yo”. Is a great album with good stereo mixing. The one I got is a EMI-Odeon stereo pressing. The colors are black and dark pink “Con los Beatles” is another case. The stereo is quite heavy, something that makes my turntable arm jump sometimes. The label is EMI-Odeon as the “por favor yo” one “Socorro” is a good sounding pressing. In stereo 70s pressing under the EMI label 70s design with the number catalog being 9114. The stereo passages are great. The masters are purely from the original UK. “Colección de viejos temas” (oldies but goldies) is quite good. Stereo sound is great, the song mixing is great. And now, the mono albums. “Los Beatles” compilation is purely in mono. I know this for the “thank you girl” song, not having the harmonica in the tape. The “ticket to ride” song is the heaviest one, doing a good mixing with the other ones. “Por siempre Beatles” is a good one, not the best. It has songs that were on singles, as “yes it is” or “I’m down”. Still, it catches the feeling of groovy, making it a good compilation. “Let it be” is not the best. I understand that the mono mixing is just a fold down of the stereo tapes.

@@soymartin07 yeah. Beatles Argentinian albums were as good as the UK ones. This is because the got mono and stereo tapes. There’s story behind so… there’ll be a lot of text. In 1964 after the success of the Beatles, Odeon “pops” manager decided to release simultaneously the first two album “please please me” and “with the Beatles” under the catalogs LDS-2095 and LDS-2096 A hard day’s night album, known here as “yeah, yeah, yeah, Paul, john, George y Ringo” was released time later, in the 64 too. Only in mono. Since “beatles for sale” and therefore, all the albums were pressed in mono and stereo, except the “Los Beatles” Argentinian compilation and “por siempre Beatles”. In the 70s and 80s, the albums were reposed only in stereo, this includes the forts three albums. In the 80s, the “master digital” series was released and the albums were repressed and reissued. Check out a website called “Beatles Vinilos”.

I’m from USA and have a pressing of "Por Siempre Beatles". To be honest I don’t know if it’s a mono or stereo pressing.

@@Luc-Sist_07 Es lo que yo temía, son másters stereo Uk y parecen copias de primera generación, alguien debería rastrear esas cintas...
