Unboxing Original UK Beatles LPs 

The cover to that mono White Album is a thing of beauty.

I never thought I could get so much enjoyment watching someone unpack albums I already have three or four copies of and already know what they look like!

wow....what awesome packing, and the albums look practically new!!

I don’t know why I enjoy you opening up shipping boxes and showing us the awesome Beatles albums. But I certainly do and I always look forward to seeing another one. I have even rewatched a few of them.🤗

Cool set of LPs. I'm guessing the White Album inserts are foxed because they spent a lot of time pressed against the black inner sleeves.

Recently just found this channel pretty awesome

Wish i had all those LPs ❤

"Sticky Tape On My Fingers" -- wasn't that a Rolling Stones album? (ha ha ha!)

I love the ever-so-slightly-tackiness of opening the gatefold of a Sgt Pepper sleeve when the laminate sticks together , Sparks album sleeve “Propaganda” is the same ... That was vinyl porn watching you open them Andy

My goodness! What a beautiful collection 👀

GREAT! SO COOL !Thank you for sharing!

I very much enjoyed watching this! What a fine selection of records. More soon please!

Hi Andrew!! Cheers from the US!!! I've loved watching your video's for quite awhile!! Thank you for the quality time you put into these videos they're enjoyable to watch and I appreciate how you've done your homework on all subject matters with The Beatles and recording history and the different subtle versions of various Beatle Vinyl. I've love the Fab's pretty much my entire 52 years of life! I was 13 in the early 80's when I discovered the very superior UK mixes of their recordings, after hearing a 32 hour radio program called The Days In Their Life which featured every recording ever released from The Beatles. Using the UK mixes. I started collecting Jem imports of all their UK albums! Years later, I profusely regret that I had to sell them as I know they're collectable now! Interesting album you bring up with Hey Jude. I don't know if you know the history behind that LP in the US. Basically a contractual Allen Klein project of putting together songs that hadn't showed up on any Capital albums. Of course he missed many more but a very cool collection of songs that were nicely mastered by Sam Feldman at Bell Sound as he never liked the Capital masters and what they did. I agree with you that these are superior stereo masters with more punch and less seperation. I wish all the stereo maters were given this treatment. HJ was the first LP I ever owned when I was a kid and I actually have the first pressing of the album called The Beatles Again. Because of how big Hey Jude was, the albums was renamed HJ. Of course some albums had already been pressed with the old title, so those are pretty cool to have. I still have mine! Well done Andrew!! Can't wait for more videos!! I've always loved UK vnyl in general but that's a whole different discussion!!! LOL!! Take care man!!

I love that beautiful oringal lps how I wish to own all of them thanks for sharing!👍

Wonder if those were Christmas presents originally. Would love to know the back story.

Great collection! Very well done!

"Thirty-Seven Shillings & Nine Pence" would be a great name for a Beatles cover band.

Wow this was a great video . I do like all of the vinyl you got . I do live in the US and I am in the mitts of getting the UK ones . They do sound a lot better the the US ones lol . They all look like they are in good shape yes !!!! Great video cheers !!

They did a great job packing. It sure did increase the weight by alot but it did protect them.

Silly question: you usually pronounce “Please Please Me” stressing the last word (“Please Please ME”), whereas I have usually heard the title with the second word stressed (“Please PLEASE Me”). Is yours the way most British people pronounce it, or is it a personal quirk? I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for posting them! :)

now that is beautiful wow!!

Hii, sorry for writing this on such an old video but do you have any tips for storing and preserving original uk beatles albums for the future years? I've so far just wrapped them in bubble wrap and then kept them in the cold temperature loft but I'm worried the bubble wrap will get too old and discolour the sleeve. Thanks anyway! Great video too!

you smudging the photos lol, why don't you wear some felt gloves or something

What happened to Let It Be? I was waiting to see if you got the box set or the regular one. Can't believe how clean and shiny the covers are.

That inner sleeve in BFS must have been transplanted from elsewhere because the disc itself has Parlophone Co. rim text and RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED rather than (P).

I felt so excited watching you unbox those albums !! Flimsy covers but in such good condition ! Do you use an oki noki to clean the vinyl? All the best from down under 👍

I find it interesting the White Album originally came with black sleeves. You would think everything would be white.🤔

Don't get too upset with me, but the most important Beatles album was...MEET THE BEATLES. Until Capitol released "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" and "Meet..." in the U.S., the Beatles were just another Brit hit (you remember Cliff Richard...don't you?) Please Please Me launched the Fab4 in England, but in those days, England was not really that important musically. After "Meet..."and "I Want To..." the Beatles made the big time.

It would be nice to hear if there are differences of the 80's double EMI white box editions? Thank You!

Hello again, i have a question, yes, another one, do you have any tips on how you can clean album covers without the risk of damaging it? Great video it was.

Really cool to see. Where did you get these by the way if u don’t mind asking lol.

Beauties.... See you, Nelio.

Can you teach an older American fan how to find a play quality collection like this one and not sell a kidney for it? I know most of these sold in the millions of not higher during the 60's and 70's. Was Let It Be not included in this haul? I have a thick 1st US The Beatles Again stereo, sounds great as you say. What do you think of the W German HorZu/Apple Pressings from the 70's up to 1981? I had them all new , but were stolen some years back, never was able to replace them. I love your videos, very informative and entertaining , and covering my favorite subject THE BEATLES! Are you planning a special video for December 8th 2020, it is after all the 40th anniversary, wow 40 years. I can tell you where I was and what I was doing the night it happened and it was reported here on American radio. Wearing headphones, listening to FM radio, doing my homework when the first flash came through (my generations JFK/RFK moment),..I was in high school at the time. Like many, I was in mourning for months, years actually, and every October, it begins again for me on Johns birthday, and now too at George's B-day as well. Both left us far too early I was at work the day George passed, and had to take the rest of the day off, and then the week too as it turns out. That's how much the Beatles meant to and still mean to me, both together and as solo artists...

i suspect that Hey Jude is a contract press without EMI stampers, no idea who pressed them but they are on heavy vinyl. all best Henry

Andy , one question regarding one of your earlier videos , the one where you bought Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s record collection. In the collection there was a copy of Hard Days Night but the sleeve was totally un-laminated , just a matt paper sleeve. How rare are these? , I’ve never heard of such a variant?...what’s the story behind it being un- laminated?

Gaaaahhhhh.... I REALLY hate those polystyrene wotsits! Bane of my life many a time!

Hi! I love your videos, and they are very educational, so keep uploading! But I need your help. I’ve been trying to identify what pressing of please please me I have, but can’t figure it out. Could you help me? I will upload a short video just showing the record, cover and inner sleeve, so just tap on my profile.

This must be what porn is for Beatles record collectors.

Have you provided a explanation of how you do cleanings?

what do you use to play grade most are never playable full of distortion destroyed by sixties record players or a worn out stylus iv never found any that play good do you use a mono cart or a record player from the same period the modern turntable with a decent cartridge can bring out the good and the bad

As an Englishman, you must surely know that you should use 'alternative version', not 'alternate version', which means something completely different! Great videos otherwise.
