Watching this unboxing video is better than meditating with the Maharishi.
You win the post of the day. LOL
Cheaper too.
"Lexicon on love", one of the greatest of UK pop albums. Superb production!
You got the rare version of the White Album where instead of photos, they included a hair from each of the Beatles! (The "Hairy Moss" cut.)
That ABC album is a classic. I hope someday, a deluxe package of Tears For Fears albums be available on vinyl also...
Fun batch of records! And that Lexicon of Love set looks beautifully designed .
I’m so in awe of your knowledge, Andrew. To just look at a label or matrix and immediately know the cutting/pressing is like magic!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent unboxing video, Andrew. Thanks for sharing.
You absolute legend. The lexicon of love has become one of my favourite albums ever too
Brilliant video as always Andrew & you always go that wee big extra to let the newer Beatles fans which albums to look out for that sound great at a fraction of the price of the expensive originals... Some gems on here shown.
I'm a great fan of 'Lexicon' too, Andrew! The deluxe set of it looks very lavish and comprehensive. Really enjoyed this unboxing video.
A good friend of mine has a late 70s 77-78 UK stereo boxed set just as your early 80s set. Matrix cuts were typically one number below yours but some were 2 and the white album had one 1!! The bass is rather high making the whole sound of the set extra warm in overall sound. Thank you friend so much for sharing your new finds!
This was a very fascinating look...at ABC's Lexicon of Love! As with all folks living in the UK at the time, I, too, had this one. It drips with nostalgia for me! What? You say there were some Stones and Beatles records in here, too? A nice bonus 🤣😂! Mahalo for a truly lovely video!
Love the unboxing videos. My UK BC-13 is also from the 1980's. Those LP's sound great. Bought it unplayed new from a work friend for $200.00 about 20 years ago. Still consider it one of my best ever Beatles purchases. Along with the mono box, of course. Cheers.
Great Video Andrew I remember buying this the week it came out in 1983 Still have it,,,Plus some of the original 12"'s from it & they still sound great.
I really enjoyed this unboxing video. Superb job, Andrew! Loved seeing The Beatles and Stones releases and what a pleasant surprise to see ABC. Not just one of my favorite 80's albums but actually one of my favorite LPs ever. ("Lexicon II" from a few years ago, very good as well.) Looking forward to your look at those Stones Greatest Hits variations, too. Wonderful job on this, Andrew! 🥂
Glad you enjoyed it, Anthony!
Always enjoy your unboxing videos! It’s what officially hooked me on your channel. Keep up the awesome work, Andrew! - Roger
Thanks Roger, will do!
Andrew, great information as always. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Again a great video Andrew. Thank you so much. Always interesting facts. A true goldmine for us collectors. Cheers
Cheers Fred. Glad you enjoyed it!
I love these..😁❤️🔥 manythnx as always!
The design of that 'Lexicon Of Love' boxset is a thing of beauty. Fun package of older albums too. I bought that copy of 'Through The Past, Darkly' with hexagon style packaging for Record Store Day a few years ago too, though I think you can still buy it new nowadays.
That Beatles BC13 vinyl collection behind you is really great.👍
You always make these interesting, even when I'm not much for unboxing. Well done! I loved your video on the BC-13s so it was nice to see those again. And you reminded me how much I enjoyed the ABC album when I first heard it a few years ago. As for the Stones, maybe a look at the different versions of Metamorphosis at some point?
You make opening a box a special experience.
Andrew, I once got a poster from France with many interesting stamps on the box. I couldn't bring myself to throw the box away. 😄 Interesting collection of records in this video. I want to pick up a BC 13 set sometime soon.
Supercool upload, Andrew 😁
I’m in bed this week with COVID, so this video was perfect medicine for me. It reminds me that for a long while, all I had were these Stones hits sets and not full albums. My favorite was “Rewind”, although that was on cassette (appropriately). It took “Undercover” to change all that.
I’m glad “Lexicon” is getting the respect and recognition it deserves. I just wish Duran Duran would take the time to do better box sets of that caliber!
Thanks and appreciation Andrew…although the fact I was watching a video of a guy taking records out of boxes utterly confused my wife!
Thanks for watching, Joel. Get well soon!
The Lexicon Of Love was the first album I ever bought on my own. I was 10 and I used chore money. It's an Amazing album and it's still part of my collection, 40 years later
Fascinating stuff as usal
Those yellow DHL boxes make me think of marzipan which I get from Germany quite often. Great video as usual.
I really enjoy your unboxing videos Andrew thanks again for sharing 👍 Just a thought, would you ever consider a room tour video of your equipment and collection? Thx Brian 👍
Maybe one day, Brian.
I love Lexicon of Love! One the best LPs of 1982!
Parlogram, Hey,fantastic unboxing,be well. 😯
Hello, Another interesting video, I like the unboxing ones.
I bought one of the Beatles box sets back in late 1978 and my copy of the white album also did not have the four photos inside but had the poster, not sure if all the uk editions were the same as at the time I didn't know anyone else who had one.
Excellent video as usual Andrew. I'll put my Dutch 1A reissue of Beatles For Sale with the Dutch cutting up against the UK tube cut original for sound quality. Nice, smooth and rich. Also the Dutch reissues suffer far less in the wear department especially escaping that inner groove distortion on Kansas City (Hey, Hey, Hey) that's so prevalent on the UK originals.
Big fan of all your videos Andrew! I was tempted to buy the More Hot Rocks glow in the dark edition until I started reading a number reviews on Amazon complaining about a lot of surface noise from the colored vinyl especially in between tracks. I would be interested to hear if you experience the same issue on your copy. Also the CD version contains bonus tracks not available on the vinyl. Keep up the great work!
Lexicon of Love is a favorite of mine as well, my mom had the cassette
I finally got my hands on a true 1978 BC-13 Box! They all sound fantastic, except Please Please Me which sounded brick walled. Of course there’s the preference in cuttings but looking past that, they all sounded fantastic. I love the HTM recuts done in the 70’s because they bring so much more detail and life into the recordings. Hopefully I can find that Dutch White Album soon!
Always loved the Dutch pressings. I have a Dutch cut and pressed White Album but it is in a German numbered sleeve. It has the Glass Union and While My Guitar Gentley Weeps mis-spellings on the label. I bought a couple of Dutch Beatles albums in Loughton too back in 1981 but when I checked the records, which I did in the shop, I found they had the English records in the sleeves. I asked them to go and find me the Dutch copies, which fortunately they did. It certainly made for a good Christmas as this was on the 23rd of December.
Thanks Andrew, I enjoyed that one. I've had the odd hairy Abbey Road but it seems you got a fair share this time. 😂
Another informative video Handsome
Getting Hot Rocks on CD with the gift certificate I received for my 8th birthday was something I consider a critical moment in my life. I remember that evening at Bull Moose Music in Portland, ME fondly.
Another fab video!
Might we be seeing the August 1963 video soon? I loved the ones you did for June and July of ‘63 and it would be awesome to see that series continue. 🙂
Thanks! The ' She Loves You' video used up most of the August cuttings. Let's see what September brings.
@@ParlogramCheers, Andrew. I figured that there would have been some overlap there. Looking forward to September then! 🙂
Some real eye candy here. 😎 Very cool. totally forgot about the German record club MMT with the true stereo matrices.. Kind of wish I would've copped one. Too bad the secrets out though, as prices are absolutely insane on Discogs. Oh well. Sure glad I got my purple cover -1/-3 and +C DMM pressings while things where still reasonable a year or two ago. 🍻
Looking forward to the Stones video on their hits albums. My favourite was always Rolled Gold, classic track list in chronological order with all the UK singles. The definitive 60s Stones compilation. Can't help but wonder if it was inspired by the success of The Beatles red and blue albums.
martin fry of ABC a great front man and legend of the 80s, i unfortunately haven't got any of their stuff on vinyl anymore just cd now. 👍🏻
Very interesting to see and to hear your comments on the dutch BC13 👍
I bought a BC13 this spring - but it opens sideways (not on top). It has all dutch pressings (many of them the same as the ones that were dutch in your set). The box is worn, but the records are pristine (looks like they might never have been played) and the covers are perfect except for at few damages to the top-seams.
I paid GBP 115 (DKK 1000,-) and think this was a VERY good price 😊
Great video as always! Thank you!
p.s. there is a little audio editing issue with the release year of the Magical Mystery Tour around 2:12. No big deal. :)
PPS: do check that Dutch Abbey Road (being a local cut on side B) whether it is a version with the missing Her Majesty.
I Love ABC!! If that's what you consider a guilty pleasure, don't be, you have good taste!! Beauty Stab is good too!
edit: Now I have to go and have a listen to "All of my Heart" right away!
Love the unboxings, remind me of Christmas Day! Stamps and all........Would you ever Frankenstein, as in adding the 4 photos of Beatles......to missing "white album" or would that be considered, bad/wrong,?
If they looked the same, why not.
Apologies. This is a little long...... Great collection there Andrew. Loved Lexicon and seeing this has tweaked my interest. I had already heard original mixes of Tears are Not Enough. Trevor Horn really worked his magic on those tracks. Also, re the Glow in the Dark Stones albums. In the late 70's a British punk band (they were so much more than a punk band, but I digress) named Penetration had their debut album, Moving Target, released on Virgin in 1978. This was a glow in the dark album and the first of it's kind I believe (I stand to be corrected if I am wrong). You are correct in that they need to be exposed to the light for an hour or so before the glow really works. However, I also remember at the time the sound quality was very poor. It crackled and farted like nobodies business and there were many complaints. The band themselves were so disappointed in the pressing that they urged fans to return their copies to the record company and demand a replacement on better sounding black vinyl. No idea how many people did, but I persevered and still have my original copy and the memory of many an hour listening to the album in the dark whilst watching it gently move up and down on the turntable!! Things we did as kids eh? Would be very interested to hear what the sound quality of your Stones albums are like. Sorry this is so long. Great video as always
Excellent video as always, Andrew! Have you ever considered doing a video on the Beach Boys?
They are on my list!
Glow in the dark vinyl ? That's brilliant marketing right there
Hi! Great editions there.
Hey, I don't know if it's a proper request, but you can make a video about bootlegs, labels like DESS, Purple Chick, Yellow Dog... compilers (like Masterjedi), remixers (like the great Lord Reith), rippers like PBTHAL... and all that world that is very important for any Beatles fan and collector.
In fact, you can make a whole video series about bootlegs.
Cheers!
Hmm... I don't think so. From the beginning Andrew has stated he's not into bootlegs, and will never be. Whenever such records have appeared in the collections he buys, he quickly dismisses them. Check his unboxing videos from 5 years ago to learn more. 🤔
An interesting watch.
Mate love ya videos and knowledge I bought a bc13 box from watching your videos I’m wanting a really good copy of mystery tour what do you recommend is the mofi better than the newer mono ? Any advice appreciated
The 2014 mono all the way for me. The MOFI pressing is a stinker. Find out why in this video: czcams.com/video/384WVtUeVfg/video.htmlsi=qmjoVivmDgDomrjH
Haha. I got an as for a "Men's Casual Flat Top Cotton blend cap" at the top of a list of your vids. Looks like the YT elders dig your trademark headgear Andrew!
Did you do a stereo/Mono listing of both the new american High tides 1 & 2. I'm interested if they upgraded the tracks from the Reprocessed stereo tracks.
Those versions of magical mystery tour irked me because they do not have the booklet. In fact that version has the blocked out text where it says includes full color booklet. They started deleting the booklet back in the mid 70s and that’s one of the first casualty albums
Thanks for the tip on the German club mix. Edit: people who don't collect vinyl will never know the highs and lows..the extreme hazards we encounter. Beautiful but hairy records for instance 😁
Lexion of love is a brilliant album
Hi.....I'm very familiar with all of the R.S. albums you highlighted is this video. An alternative to both is the European double comp. "Rolled Gold" vol1 AND the even rarer Vol 2, which I think are better than the 2 U.S. double albums. Please consider including those in your comparison video!
Mantrap is great little cold war espionage thriller my friend had it VHS back in the 80s and it never made it to dvd. The only negative point is like al presvious special edition releases this does not contain all four parts of The Look of Love that were on the original twelve inch.
My BC13 is dark blue with fine leatherette texture, and had all UK pressings with laminated covers, except Rarities is a US Capitol label pressing in a light paper sleeve rather than a proper card style sleeve. I’ve never seen another box like it.
ABCs best album IMO. Great production.
Andrew, You’ve had these records before, correct? Obviously, since you seem familiar with the sonic quality?
They look gorgeous and maybe someday I can find myself that German cut off MMT. 😊
As AverageJoeVinyl said, your knowledge of the sound quality of the pressings based on the matrix numbers is amazing. I'm sure you've spent some time getting to this point, but that makes it no less amazing. In regard to the Stones greatest hits records, I have High Tide And Green Grass, and Through The Past Darkly on the London label from over here in the States. The first one was the first Stones album I ad, and I bought when it came out in 1966. As with anything cut in the UK, I'm sure those are better sounding.
Big Hits and Through the Past Darkly were both released in the States - in 1966 and 1969 respectively- though be it, with differing track-listings to the U.K. counterparts.
Finally!
Good video. I think the photos of the Stones (at about 12:30 in the video) were not for Out of Our Heads but for the Andrew Oldham Orchestra LP called The Rolling Stones Songbook (US London LL3/PS 457) which uses one of them on the front cover. I also have in my collection a 1982 UK pressing of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine LP with side one matrix XEX 715-1, side two YEX 716-2. Only side two has HTM engraved. Cover and labels say stereo but side one is in mono. An oddity.
Out Of Our Heads, (December's Children in USA) and the Loog Orchestra artwork were from the same photo sessions by Gered Mankowitz.
One other correction, and that’s that the other photos by Gered Mankowitz were taken on Primrose Hill, not Hyde Park. These are the ones that were used for Between the Buttons. Anyhow, another very entertaining video by Andrew!
That’s funny you’re having the box from French with all the stamps . I’ve bought from that seller, but I’m in San Francisco. It has twenty nine stamps . Great albums I bought from him …
Nice MMT. Do you know anything about the Danish Hörzu? Is it the same?
Stamps 💯
You'll come to realize that that glow-in-the-dark album's audio will fade out unless you hold a flashlight on it before playing...
;-)
Would you consider a Who's Next Deluxe box unboxing and review? Comes out 15 September IIRC. Thanks!
A still sealed Pepper! Cool
Were all Sgt. Pepper issues outside of America unbanded?
ABC were the best group at the eighties 😊
I have the Original Red/ Blue London and DECCA Presses of the Stones High tides and Green Grass LP's and many other LP's! !
and Yes, the work of coping the Lp's over to Wav format has been placed on a Pause.... y health ahs gone down, so... I am on a hiatus for a while! I hope to be able to start up the radio station someday soon!
Request/suggestion: Moody Blues Classic albums would be interesting…
Beatles box set looks unplayed 👍
Great selection, hope this one will not be ''too much popular'' what could be going on through the mind of a Beatles lover if the video he made about Stones records gets the most views on his channel
Do you know how "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" ended up on the London/ABKCO "Hot Rocks" when these tracks were recorded by the Stones once they left ABKCO and started their own label?
So is that Magical Mystery Tour the exact same press quality as the HOR ZU? do they have the same charm?
Yes on both counts.
I love that UK green Decca label on Big hits and Their satanic majesty’s request! It’s so unique. It’s a bummer not more Rolling Stone albums in stereo had a green Decca Label instead of the dark blue
My NZ Box has got both UK and NZ matrix numbers thoughout the set, like the Dutch set. Some with UK on one side and NZ on the other.Pressings are very nice and sound good. But the box is a crappy Lt. Blue lift off.
The American singles from Lexicon were remarkably good for USA pressings
PS: that Hey Jude single is later than 1981 (rimtext!)
So when you collect any records ..do you play them ...or Just collect ....Then who do you pass them on to ...? Or do you sell them for More money...What do you do???It seems like a cycle..... Confused..??
Never be ashamed of classic albums from the 1980s. In all seriousness, my personal favorite is POP GOES THE WORLD by Men Without Hats
Just curious: anybody here have Bruce Spizer's Beatles books?
He forgot to mention the US Sgt. Pepper single from 1978.
I´d really like to have you job!!!!!
Was that magical mystery released in 1976 😂😂
That’s when the album was released in the UK.
Just kidding as you seemed to leave in the outtakes
@@JuliusHowe Mid 70s anyway 😉
I have no idea what those numbers and letters mean. 😊 What should a discerning Beatles fan want to include in their collection?
Hello! Let me know if you would be interested in mailing me the Beatles sleeve with all of the French stamps! I'd be happy tp pay for the shipping!
Well, thanks for robbing the world of just another affordable MMT!
Note, "mint" collectors: Interesting to see dust and also a fair amount of hairlines on a mint, just unsealed record!
Well, I always say you can't buy Through the Past Darkly without buying Lexicon of Love.
I wish we as a society stopped celebrating the Stones as if they were a good band.
