Hi Dave, so sorry to hear about your lower back issues and I hope you recover quickly & fully. I loved the look at the Apple 45's, and I have many of them including the picture sleeve of "Ballad of John & Yoko"/"Old Brown Shoe." I would love to see your various Parlophone 45's from around the world.

Hi Dennis, Appreciate that mate , it’s getting there slowly but the sciatic nerve affects my arm too every so often. I’d certainly love the other USA picture sleeves but not always easy to get nice ones, but I’m pretty happy with what I’ve got. Sadly apart from the U.K. & USA I don’t have anything else. They may be surprising to you but just haven’t got around to getting anything single wise! Stay well!

Thanks for another great video Dave. Great to see you back my friend!

Hi Mike, Thought I’d better try and get one out there! Definitely would recommend these Apple 45’s they really are excellent! Yes I think I’ve got sone white Capitol vinyl 45’s from Macca which are great and I think came out around the time of the Beatles juke box 45’s! No worries about the shout out, thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Dave - interesting that Apple USA reissued all the original Capital singles. To answer your question re non-consecutive numbering... Capital often re-released singles with the A & B sides flipped. Often these Capitol "flipped" reissues came in unique pic sleeves - eg. check out The Inner Light A-side, with Lady Madonna as the B-side.

Hey dave, cool that you collected all these records from the USA, considering the controversy they once had here with us americans (in eagle land) about them stating that they're bigger than rod, still, amazing collection 🐱👍, sir dirk mcquickly would be proud to have loyal fans like you

And he is back! Holy cow I was worried I thought something happened to you. I hope,you,are feeling better sir. Great video I have all the Beatle Capitol singles and the picture sleeves except for “Can’t Buy me Love” which goes for three hundred dollars because it’s only an East Coast press….but I got the bug so I will get it.

The Apple singles that are a little darker with the "MFD. by Apple" rim text were released from 1971-1975. The lighter Apple labels with the "All rights" text on the label (your Ticket to Ride single) were released just in 1975. And the star on the label means it's from the L.A. pressing plant

Hi Sam, Thanks for the info! I did check my Bruce Spizer book out to see what I had as when it comes to the USA stuff I can never remember unlike my knowledge of the U.K. releases! Thanks for the info! Stay well!

Hi, Dave. Great to hear your back feels better at the moment. These 45s are interesting to see. I've never seen any earlier tracks on the Apple label. The first track I remember seeing on Apple was Hey Jude. I do have a few 45s on Apple but they're all post 1967ish. Did you mention how long it took to collect the group of them? Saw a couple 45s in Woodstock but not in good condition. But I did find some gems....... Take care of that back young man. Talk soon . Cheers.

Hi G, Sorry I haven’t replied to your email , I’ve gotta say I just forgot but i will shortly! They also released all the USA albums on Apple in the early to mid 70’s, just another facet of collecting! I think it only took a few months to collect as I got quite a few from the same seller on eBay and I got some from the Beatles Convention. When I collect a particular aspect of Beatles releases, I’m usually full on with it! That’s nothing quite like flicking through albums and singles , really satisfying, would love to go to Woodstock near you for a rummage in those racks! Thanks mate and love to Pam!

These are really awesome! Sorry about your back issues; I too have had similar problems over the years. Thanks Dave!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

fantastic!!!!!!Great job as always and you need the Ballad of John and Yoko picture sleeve which is really hard to find in mint condition. Also . first pressing of Hey Jude has smaller print and no credits other than Lennon and Mccartney . First press Beatles on apple sleeve came with thumb tab and are quite hard to find. Keep up the great work you are doing and keep it going!!!!!

Hi Robert, Glad you enjoyed the fab 45’s! Oh definitely, I’m certainly on the look out for that one and some of the others but certainly not easy to find in lovely shape! Thanks for the great information and thanks for watching! Stay well!

I have several American Apple 45’s in my collection. On The Beatles Apple 45’s repressed from the Capitol ones, yes they used the Capitol catalog numbers, but occasionally not the exact same master, as some copies of the Apple pressing of “Strawberry Fields Forever”/“Penny Lane” use the Promotional Mono master of “Penny Lane”.

@georgeprice4212

6 ай бұрын

And the star on certain Apple singles indicates that it was pressed in Los Angeles, no promotional copy, as the promotional copies had a P in front of the catalog number (following how Capitol did their own promotional singles). And original copies of the Hey Jude single have Revolution and The Beatles printed sideways. My copy of Hey Jude is like that.

Hi George, Yes I’ve heard that there is apple copies of PL/SFF with the extra flourish at the end , haven’t found one yet but I’m still looking! I assume the dead wax would reveal that on those copies ? I couldn’t remember what the star meant but yes that makes sense and the prefix P for the promo’s! Yes I’ve seen those hey Jude copies with the sideways on text! Thanks for the great info! Stay well!

BeatleDave! It's been forever... I know what's like to have back problems, hope you're doing well now. Awesome collection of 45s! Are these pressed in styrene? Most US Apple 45s I have are Paul's, John's and George's. Do you have a favourite US pressing plant? Funny how most of US pressings are instantly recognizable by having none to very few rimtext on the labels and huge label variations depending on their pressing plant. Thank you very much for the video!

Hi FBT, You know , I’ve had back issues for years and have managed but at Christmas, I’ve never had pain like it, I was on a heavy cocktail of drugs. But it’s better and stable at the moment at least! I think my favourite and I suppose the most common pressings are Winchester, the labels are of a nice shade. I think I’ve got most of the solo 45’s from the USA , great fun to collect! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!

Good video Dave ,if we can work it out and Day Tripper and the same as Penny Lane and strawberry fields are double A sides so surely why aren't they a double Apple green instead of the half apple, do you know why.

Hi Simon, Glad you enjoyed! I think because the U.K. double A sided singles are so instilled upon me , I always think the same on any other issues from around the globe. I don’t think there was USA double A sides , however some of the B sides charted better than the A sides , Penny Lane being the prime example hitting No 1. Thanks for watching!

The ones with the ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on them are the LAST issue Apple ones from late 1975. After that they went to Orange Capitol labels.
