- The 1962 - 1966 Red Album and 1967 - 1970 Blue Album were pivotal in the Beatles catalogue... here is an overview of these STILL IMPORTANT COLLECTIONS!
During the 1970's the Red and Blue albums. Were our introduction to The Beatles music. I got the Red and Blue Album in 1976. I was 11 years old. Still had the Apple labels on them. I was hooked big time on their music.
Great video….. I love these albums as they were my gateway to the Beatles and I went on to get everything after that. I did get an early American pressing with the “For Your Information “ sheet. The listing of Thingumybob / Yellow Submarine was an error as this was an Apple single from the Black Dyke Mills band which was produced by Paul. The recent 2014 pressings of the Red and Blue albums are analog cut and are still available if you look and they sound terrific. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for these memories and your great video. the red and blue album are my gateway to the beatles. I still love these compilations and I got recently two 70th copies of the albums (both German pressings). My red album does not have the hi-hat intro and I cannot remember if my cousin's copy (also a 70th copy) had it. My both copies do not have printed innersleves, instead they have blank white innersleves.
I received the red and blue albums for my 14th birthday in 1973. Those were my first Beatles albums though I had already received The Chipmunks Sing The Beatles Hits in 1964. Other than hearing The Beatles on the radio and seeing them on Ed Sullivan these were my first recordings. Later I collected all the releases on vinyl and the original releases on CD. Great review!
These were the first Beatles albums I bought in 1974, which then led me to buy their entire catalogue!
They were UK edition "double play" cassettes (I didn't have a record player until 1975!) but all the other albums I bought were on LP.
Here in the UK these red and blue compilations were always on Apple, even after 1976.
US versions are difficult to find but I'd like to add them both to my collection, especially as the red one difers so much.
I remember singing these and learning the words through those inner sleeves.
I think these were released to partly fulfil a deal Allan Klein had negotiated to put out a certain amount of new Beatles records.
My exposure to the albums was long after I'd first started collecting Beatles records. I actually waited ages before buying the sets.
I had received for my 11th birthday the American Apple label 1970s versions with the James Bond intro just before "Help" and the talking intro where Paul says, "Loretta" just before "Get Back." When the Red & Blue albums were released in the 1990s on CD, I actually was a little disappointed not hearing those intros.
What about 1966 : A Collection of Beatle Oldies but Goldies???
Yep! Did a video about that one! The red and blue albums were the first post breakup worldwide released compilation album sets

Painful!
Interesting fact: on June 30, 1973 George had the number one single and album in the US, while Paul had the number two single and album in the US. The Blue Album was at #6 and the Red Album at # 13. As far as the song selection for the Red and Blue albums, they added songs that were not hits ("Girl", "Old Brown Shoe") over other songs like "Twist and Shout" or "I Saw Her Standing There". I understand they wanted to avoid cover versions and on the Blue Album, add more songs by George and Ringo for publishing royalties.
