Unboxing Vintage UK Beatles 45s & EP Collection 

Ah...but here's the point and WHY I love collectibles - YOU STILL HAD THE PHYSICAL OBJECT to sell.....you didn't have a bunch of bits and bytes which are WORTHLESS. And what was good was the collectibles got you out of a financial bind. Today's YOUTH do not understand the worth TO OWNING THE PHYSICAL.......

@@dancalmpeaceful3903 oh I agree completely. I started collecting records 25 years ago when ppl couldn’t give them away fast enough. I’ve sold some here and there in times of need and they’re absolutely gotten me out of a jam or two. The value of my collection right now is pretty absurd tbh…never quite expected it get this valuable so quickly…surely it will burst at some point but my proclivity for collecting first and rare pressings means they’ll always have a a decent value I’m sure. Beyond that though, much as he said, it’s about the ritual and the physical connection to the music. Owning a real piece of history in many cases that I can actually EXPERIENCE. Goes far beyond value to me. All of it together is why I enjoy it so much and will continue to collect until I kick the bucket. My daughter can have em all one day.

@@thefleshexperience Thank heaven for folks like you - you are preserving history...much like myself. I ONLY collect the physical. I don't RENT my music like the foolish youth of today.....and yes, I deal in collectibles and yes, my collection and business has got me out of more jams than I care to admit.

It must be so hard to break up a collection when you treasure it so much. More so for those who bought the originals at the time and were experiencing the Beatles journey: where would it take them. Such exciting times.

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately the green Odeon pressing of 'Help!' is only worth around €15.

Thanks, Steve. Glad you enjoyed it!

That's right. That bonus EP was included in the EP Collection in December 1981

It’s not like you can take it with you.. I’d hate to be the one to tell you this first but after it’s lights out, no matter what you believe, your (insert collectible here) isn’t forever.. if you’re lucky the things you had and cared about will be easy to sell for the vultures.

@@nubworthycigars6682 You are not telling me anything I do not already know.

It does, Robert.

Glad you enjoyed it, Joe. All U.S. 1st pressings of 'Let It Be' had red labels, so it's not that rare.

You wouldn't have to be, it's just Beatles records, millions of copies around the world. There are people buying very cheaply and selling at gold prices. BE CAREFUL

horowizard well spotted!

However, you missed the "Got To Get You In My Life" on the next track...... ;-)

Dude, you’re not going to be able to get that from a single video.. or it would be super long. Each disc has its own matrix number you’d need to know. Use discog instead if you want a global understanding. If you’re looking for a specific disc I’d still say using a database is more convenient, but maybe you’d need help identifying where to find the info? Not sure where you’re at in your journey but discog will set you on the right path generally. There’s a few rarities discussed on this channel as well..

All 4-track EPs had picture sleeves in the UK. Apart from 'Strawberry Fields' and 'Let It Be', all other regular 45rpm singles did not.
