I love The Beatles. They are quite literally the only band that transcend time because everyone alive today have heard a Beatles song unlike anyone else prior to them, even Elvis despite the movies.
Stones were better
I’m not from the Beatles generation, I can tell you the young people I know who have a good ear and open musical tastes do not gravitate to the Beatles. They are a side note beyond the hype.
Not really my 43 year old Thai girlfriend has never heard of them.
@roygoad28702 he said they transcended time, not geographical boundaries
@@SpyderTracksI love the Stones, but they were never in the same league as the Beatles musically or popularity wise.
I found a crazy Beatles collection here in the UK just last week all original pressings.
I love the Beatles. They are my favorite band.
It's hard for me not to get jealous seeing this beautiful collection^
Great video, Chad. I enjoyed your discussion with Kent as well as the flip through of his fantastic collection!
Hi 👋 l grew up in the 1960s, i remember the Beatles songs and albums well. I liked many groups of that decade but nothing stands out more than the Beatles. They excited me back in 1964. I have most of there albums.
Chad with the ever present and patented chin push while resleeving that record lol! We all do it😂
I've been collecting Beatles Vinyl for close to 50 years now and have almost all the Japanese first issues.They're all extremely difficult to find Test Pressings.
I bought most of these from a couple Japanese Journalists who where gifted these records from Toshiba in the 60's.
Most are Red Wax and in Unplayed or Mint- condition. Have many 45's also and those are all Test Pressings.
I have the Abbey Road Pro-use and Pink Floyd D.S.O.T.M. and they're both Test Pressings also. The First issues sound great, but these Test Pressings are personally my favorite in comparison to all the other versions that i own as well.
What I've noticed by personally comparison with these records is that while most if not all other versions will, as volumes increase begin to distort.
These Japanese first issue Test Pressings all seem to love gain. The more gain you give them the cleaner they sound with a larger growing Soundstage, and not at ear bleeding volumes either.
I was amazed when the Journalists showed me this many years ago.
I didn't believe it at first, they sounded good, but then he played a few different vinyl versions and i easily heard the difference, and didn't even think that by increasing the gain it would sound so much bigger, better etc, i just figured it would only get louder.
The stock Japanese 1st Issues sound good, but the earliest Test Pressings have, for lack of a better word, juiced up by Toshiba even in comparison to their own stock Pressings. This has been done by I other record companies for many years to this day to impress Journalists , so they give a larger praise, which leads to, in the end more sales and more $$. The better your stereo equipment can reveal this is obviously a huge issue and a path we're all on toward the absolute sound.
How much are 12 of 13, no Hard Days, never opened Beatles albums worth? Early ones are the UK versions in mono. Five or so later ones have a Limited Edition sticker on wrapper.
That's a truly awesome Beatles collection. I have some friends that have the original Quad ESL's and had them modified, they sound great, superb mid and upper mid reproduction.
Manythnx! I really enjoy seeing this stuff✌️
It was very inspiring and empowering to watch a man sell his Beatles collection with such joy and vigor for life moving forward. I need to end up being able to part with my treasures the way this man can, with such a good spirit. Because we all know we can’t take them where we’re going. But this treasure hunt of a life is the only life for me
Outstanding!!
So cool - thanks for sharing guys
TREMENDOUS COLLECTION ..👍👍👍
Sweet collection!
Amazing Collection!!
If you're a Quad Electrostatic Speaker Guy, then you have to have Kent at Electrostatic Solutions rebuild your pair!! His touches on these panels and electronics are just genius!!
Where’s Mean Mr Mayo at?
I love that blue the Beatles BC13 Collection in stereo.👍🙂
The Butcher Album 1st State did make it out to record stores, for only a day or two, before they were all recalled by Capitol
This is definitely the cat's meow for Beatles fans! 😻
Only heard Quads once, but man were they beautiful. Owner plunked me in the sweet spot and just wow. Maybe someday I'll find a reasonable set to call my own.
Here we go
That Get Back album was not just outtakes. That was the proposed mix by Glynn Johns and rejected by the Beatles.
And the Glyn Johns mix with a cover near-identical to that bootleg appears in the 2021 LIB boxed set.
Chad Rock's!!
You didn’t have or show the 1988 Beatles Collection 16CD Roll Top Black Box set and Booklet, I have that because a friend gave it to me in 1988 as he had connections with the distributor at the time!
Those Japanese red Mono pressings from 82 are the best sounding and very quiet. So glad I bought them when they came out. Does anyone know if the same masters were used on the mofi black box as the individual LPs ? Abbey Road was 1979 and the rest were after the box in 82 ! The UHQR Pepper sounds ok, but not the best , wish I’d known about DSOTM UHQR when that came out. There also a Japanese mono box of singles on red vinyl too.
Presidents of local Beatles fan clubs got the Butcher LPs as well, and then Capitol sent a letter later asking for their return.
There would be a good reason why at that time there was Original Master Recordings of the UK Beatles Albums and US Magical Mystery Tour in the early 1980s is that if they had control Apple Corps would have refused permission for this to take place. From the time that The Beatles Contract with EMI expired in 1976 to Apple Corps gaining control over what The Beatles released in 1988/89, is that The Beatles had no control over what EMI released, and that is why all those compliations appeared plus Live At The Hollywood Bowl.
All Those Beatles Albums Are Rocking.😂❤
Chad, is your peeled Butcher Cover is a east coast #3 cover, I could finish off the peel to look great. Thanks Frank
Thanks for the offer.
Hi Chad .. David here, from Broussard La. I’m a huge fan. :)
Have you ever considered reissuing/remastering the four (Or 5?) album set of of Shelly Manne and His Men at the Black Hawk? Seems overdue to me. :)
Yes we did and we should be doing the first volume within about 12 months from now.
Cool collection, The US (A Hard Day's Night) album was not true stereo but taken from a Mono source. That is why there is no double tracking like the stereo UK version, but you can hear better single tracking from the original UK (A Hard Day's Night) mono LP and EP. That Red Mono box would be awesome to have but I have a good Beatles LP collection with many originals and the prices today are out of control, NM albums you could find for $20-30 5 years ago are going for 100+. I hope new Beatles vinyl continues to be of the highest quality.
i had heard there are some hard day's night albums released by colombia records, because united artists couldnt handle the demand for the album, so they asked colombia records to help them and make some albums for them.have you come across any hard day's night albums made by colombia? or even heard about this?
@@archangelmusic13Yes they pressed some of the US version in Columbia Records Pressing Plant (Pitman and Terre Haute) and later in Capitol Pressing Plants. I don't have the original US version in vinyl (only on CD) but I own several of the UK and a German version LPs. I do have other LPs pressed at Pitman and Terre Haute and they are generally well made especially 60's and early 70's pressings. Overall the Beatles US pressings can sound good but usually the UK and German (also Japan) sound much better, but it is nice to have different versions. If you want the US version it is more for the Instrumentals between the songs and cover which is cool.
@@12stringblues my favorites are the german pressings, the german vinyl sounds the best to me
Interesting to watch and never really trusted Chad and hearing the story of Mofi Lp rarity backs that up!
Really nice Beatles collection. For the person who is an audiophile, the British and Japan pressings are the best sonically, especially the MONOs.
and German ;)
the Dutch can be good too @@R3TR0R4V3
i prefer the german vinyl. it sounds better than the british and japan albums
@@archangelmusic13 I have only heard one German pressing, so can't really counter. The JPN red MONOs are the best I have heard.
@@mcgjohn22 the german red album is the best sounding i've ever heard
A great peeled 3rd State Butcher Cover is worth much more than a unpeeled 2nd State. I buy, peel & sell Butcher Covers every week. Thank you very much, MR Stickermania
Enjoyed your presentation in Rachel's stream earlier! Bummed I missed it live. 🍻
Bought a loose In Mono book from you a few months back and am eyeing your box now. ;-)
@@R3TR0R4V3 Thanks for the support! Frank
Thanks for your info, I will keep my unpeeled the way it is. If I ever decide to peel it, I can ask you to do it!
Unfortunately some repeated misinformation here . . . on the actual EMI tape boxes are the dates that the master tapes were dubbed, and dubs sent out, for the MFSL cuts.
So none of the MFSL discs were cut from THE master, always a 2nd gen (albeit high-quality) copy of the original. And in the case of 'Magical Mystery Tour,' the disc was cut from 4th-6th gen tapes (and boy, does it sound slushy as a result). Curiously, the 'Abbey Road' and 'MMT' sold outside the MFSL box both have different EQ than the versions in the box.
Are they for sale
How much are 12 of 13, no Hard Days Night, unopened albums worth? Early ones are UK versions in mono and 5 later ones have a Limited Edition sticker on cellophane cover.
Nice collection! 👍
That's the first I've heard of later 80's pressings being "valuable" though.. I thought it was the opposite, as those are digital cuts from '87 on, which aren't anywhere near as desirable as the earlier analog cuts, at least sonically. 🤷🏻♂️
He might be referring to the black and purple label "Wallys" (1978-82). Those Wally T analog cuts do sound really good, and unlike the originals have decent bass.
@@thomosburn8740 surely that's it then.. I know Wally cuts are usually desirable and sound good. 👍
I just bought a US red Capitol target label copy of "Revolver." Do you know if this has ever been counterfeited? I still can't believe I found one.
Find it amazing that such a collection does not use protective outer sleeves?
Where? I see outers on them but maybe I’m missing something
Condition, condition, and condition again followed by pressing, mastering that's just the vinyl then there is the jacket lol
At least Peter Max admitted the Yellow Submarine art wasn’t his, but he still claimed to be the art director on the Yellow Submarine movie even though he wasn’t involved at all, Heinz Edelmann was and did all the designs which happened to be similar to Max’s style so he must have had no qualms continuing to take the credit.
Anyway nice collection! I keep hoping to stumble onto a butcher cover one day, but I think the days of that happening are long gone
That Yesterday & Today does not have the original inner sleeve.
OMG! Two old geeky nerds. Geeking over another Geeks Beatles collection. Haven't seen this much geekiness since the Beanie Baby rage.
I would love to have the mono collections, the problem is, I dont like the Beatles in mono with the exception of Rubber Soul.
If the guy with the grey t-shirt handled my records like that, I'd throw him out my house.
Pity that Kent's Quads aren't sold in Germany or Europe in general...
Why is there a red and a black mono collection?
Issued on back to back for different markets.
The (limited but actual number unknown) Red one for the UK is "BM10" and the black box pressed in the UK and exported to the USA is "BM1" (only 1001 pressed/assembled).
That was not the Beatles playing, what was the name of the cover band?
I wonder how the Nimbus sounds compared to the 1983 EMI Australia half speed?
I wonder the same thing. I have both, but have not compared. My Nimbus is sealed and I haven't had the courage.
Chad, would you sell your sealed album for $5500? Thanks Frank
They are near-identical, Andrew at Parlogram did an analysis for both. He also owns the 30ips tape used to cut that 1983 Australian.
respect, but no end for collectors,
also stones, Elvis, 🤑👍
This
Guy ie NO BEAYLES fan as he would have known about the Butcher cover!
Great collection. A bit too rich for my blood. Good luck to those who need them. Chad, why not press up some UHQR of the Beatles, eh?
you would have to talk with EMI and the remaining Beatles on that one
That licensing WON'T happen.
Chad teasing Beatles AAA releases coming from AP...
If only.
I wish.
These two old men seem more into having the merch than the music.
I’m glad that a painful fact for many is being laid on the table; every Beatles (And Elvis) is NOT RARE. Everyone who comes across ANY of the records insists “I’ve got The Beatles and Elvis! I’ve got RARE RECORDS!” And most of what is out there are ruined, 99th generation pressings. They are NOT “Rare Records”!
I have tried multiple times to get into the Beatles. I don’t get the hype beyond the hype. To me they are the spice girls of the 60-70’s
You think the Beatles are like the Spice Girls? Really! The Beatles were never Hype. There's a reason why they are the biggest band ever and that's because of the amazing music they created in 8 years, and how they continually progressed with every record.
Record collection sellers, caveat vendor…you might be swimming with sharks.
Horrible company with horrible customer service. I sincerely hope that acoustic sounds goes out of business and honestly it is only a matter of time. All I have to do is sit back and watch.
Wait until he finds out other bands exist
Capital pressings suck!!! It’s a known fact.
Until the 1978 purple label ones, yes. At that point things changed dramatically.
QRP and their quality control is garbage. I purchased five Prestige Analogue Productions titles and their loaded with surface hairlines. RTI is far superior. Sorry, I needed that rant. 😅
Strange, I own quite a few QRP pressed Prestige titles and do not have this problem. Super quiet vinyl.
Must be some bloke trying to shade QRP lol are you from WaxTime records sir? Lol
I have 23 of the prestige titles and many of the AP pressings as well as most of the Impulse & Verve Series, every one is flat, silent and sounds WOW. Oh you spell "their" "they're" in this context
Ditto, me thinks this guy has an axe to grind @@intothevoid9831
@@oscar542241 uh, no. Just a consumer lol.
Mofi Beatles sucks in terms of sound
Very well pressed but too much EQ. Bring 80hz down 2db and 10khz down 4db and they sound pretty terrific (except for 'Magical Mystery Tour', which was made from bad tapes)
