Told my dad this recently when he dug his beatles singles out to sell and he was shocked at what they were worth...Simply,the beatles were the biggest band in the world because they sold A LOT of records.

I dont know if it is of any real value but my dad owns a Japanese text version of The Beatles White Album, the album cover and lp labels have Japanese text instead of English. It is in mint condition too. I'm no expert (far from it) but it doesn't look like a counterfeit or bootleg to me.

I watched this video with interest, then it came to the chapter on the Please, Please Me album. I'd purchased a Please Please Me album from a Sydney Australia second hand store in the mid sixties. Being a low paid apprentice at the time I grabbed this cheap way of obtaining this album. It was a UK release and I paid no attention until I saw this video. I dug it out from my long forgotten vinyl collection and low and below I have a first pressing. Thank you.

You are so right about the misconception that many collectors have that original Beatles vinyl is worth a fortune. One only needs to peruse ebay and see countless records in trashed quality asking for astronomical prices. I personally saw listings for albums such as Magical Mystery Tour in poor condition for $1000. Don't people realize that millions of copies were pressed and unless it's in excellent to mint condition it isn't worth more than $10?

The most outrageous one I've seen was in a charity shop in Wells, Somerset. It was a black and yellow Parlophone copy of the Please Please Me album, no sleeve (not even a paper inner sleeve) and the vinyl looked like someone had been at at with a wire wool scouring pad. Literally unplayable. Asking price? £350! They'd obviously read somewhere that stereo copies were worth a lot of money but missed the bit about the label needing to be Black and Gold. I was gonna have a word but thought what's the point - let them find out the hard way.

I won a Signed copy of Rubber Soul from Bill Harry who started a magazine called Idols. Somewhere there's a picture of me in Vol 2 with my prize. Unfortunately I had my wallet stolen shortly after and so sold it. It was the 90's and so a record shop bought it for about £500. It was nice to hold an album signed by all four, so you win some, lose some. Love watching the series and keep up the great work.

When I was just getting into The Beatles as a kid, one of my aunts gave me her copy of the sgt pepper lp. It’s one of those 1969 one box pressings which she claimed she had signed by Lennon outside saville row while she was in London on holiday. It does look rather genuine alright, but since both have passed away now, who’s to tell... anyhoo, I’m hanging on to it more as a keepsake to my aunt than to Lennon. Thanks for the video!

These demo UK 45’s of Beatles songs are quite rare compared to the UK demo 45’s of every Motown singles that were on Tamla Motown with a white label with a big red A on it (same with a green label with white A), because both Parlophone and Tamla Motown are part of EMI. Tamla Motown did pretty well overseas where they exported the US releases and brought it to the UK. Every artists like Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Diana Ross & The Supremes and others were on Tamla Motown.

My auntie in Birkenhead gave me a copy of Abbey Road with the offset Apple logo a couple of years ago. She found it at a boot sale and luckily for me the original owner (called Susan according to the name on the label) took very good care of it. I have many, many versions of this album, including all the usual suspects, but this one sounds the best. The reason I love it though is the thought that the music on it didn't even exist a few weeks before it was pressed into that particular piece of plastic that would live forever.

A fantastic video! Greetings from Greece! I am a lifelong Beatles fan in my late 40s and this was one of the most informative videos about the Fab Four. All the knowledge that I had gained in my years of record collecting is presented here condensed, in a clarified and explicit manner! Unfortunately, I do not own any of such rarities. Yet, it really doesn't matter, since I am here mainly for the knowledge. I do own some Beatles' original vinyl copies, such as a Jobette-labelled early 1963 mono copy of the "With the Beatles" LP in VG/VG+ condition (which, as you rightfully mentioned, was not pricey at all). Btw, a record dealer in Athens stumbled upon the McArtney-labelled promo copy of "Love Me Do" in a local record fair a few years ago. He bought it FOR PENNIES just because "it seemed different" and he was totally jaw-dropped when he discovered its rarity and value (the story is 100% true, I know the dealer personally). One question, if I may: is there a way for me to add Greek subtitles on this specific video (with your permission, of course). It would be a valuable source of information for other Beatles fans here who are not at a fluent level in their English. In any case, it was a pleasure watching this one! Thanks for uploading and keep up the good work!

My Dad was in the forces during the Sixties stationed in various places across the world. He once told me that while he was, I think, in the Middle East, he picked up a copy of "Something New" from a NAAFI shop. When he played it, however, as he put it,. "There were no vocals!" so... he returned it. For a long time, we assumed it was a bad pressing and could have been valuable for that reason. I now think It's more likely that he had a stereo copy with tracks in fake stereo that he was playing on a mono player. That would make it less valuable... or would it? From your video, if it was one of these special imports for the British forces, it could have been worth more than ten times what he paid for it! Oh, well... I guess we'll never know.

The sticker at 4:09 says “Factory Sample Not For Sale” were also being used on all EMI releases including the Tamla Motown 45’s. 5:11 is a test pressing record which is pretty rare at the time, sadly none of the test pressings were on Tamla Motown and Stateside, because of the US test pressings are on Motown, not in the UK. Tamla Motown was the label that put out a lot of the original Motown albums from the US and imported to the UK.

I was once told by a Los Angeles Radio Engineer that “acetate” demo discs had a playing surface that was about as good as recycled ASPHALT! If you were ever a Radio DJ, this will mean something to you: You could cue up an acetate a grand total of ONCE before the lead-in groove would develop a case of “cue-burn”! If you were never a DJ, cue-burn is an audible scratchy noise. Depending on how long the acetate was allowed to play when cueing up the record, the cue-burn can continue into the song!

Their was even a newspaper cutting showing them doing it. She's possibly still alive in her eighties (moved to the US). I wonder if that would be worth anything much?

My mom went to a Beatles gig back in 1964. She was 13 and had no concert ticket and was not let in. After a while she attempted to climb a fence and was caught by a policeman who made her get down. So she sat on the floor and tried to look very sad. Some time passed and the policeman called her over. As she walked towards him she felt a tingle of excitement; maybe he felt sorry for her and would let her in! She finally stood in front of him and he said: "here"- and gave her a Polo mint!

You are so right about the misconception that many collectors have that original Beatles vinyl is worth a fortune. One only needs to peruse ebay and see countless records in trashed quality asking for astronomical prices. I personally saw listings for albums such as Magical Mystery Tour in poor condition for $1000. Don't people realize that millions of copies were pressed and unless it's in excellent to mint condition it isn't worth more than $10?

The most outrageous one I've seen was in a charity shop in Wells, Somerset. It was a black and yellow Parlophone copy of the Please Please Me album, no sleeve (not even a paper inner sleeve) and the vinyl looked like someone had been at at with a wire wool scouring pad. Literally unplayable. Asking price? £350! They'd obviously read somewhere that stereo copies were worth a lot of money but missed the bit about the label needing to be Black and Gold. I was gonna have a word but thought what's the point - let them find out the hard way.

My auntie in Birkenhead gave me a copy of Abbey Road with the offset Apple logo a couple of years ago. She found it at a boot sale and luckily for me the original owner (called Susan according to the name on the label) took very good care of it. I have many, many versions of this album, including all the usual suspects, but this one sounds the best. The reason I love it though is the thought that the music on it didn't even exist a few weeks before it was pressed into that particular piece of plastic that would live forever.

A fantastic video! Greetings from Greece! I am a lifelong Beatles fan in my late 40s and this was one of the most informative videos about the Fab Four. All the knowledge that I had gained in my years of record collecting is presented here condensed, in a clarified and explicit manner! Unfortunately, I do not own any of such rarities. Yet, it really doesn't matter, since I am here mainly for the knowledge. I do own some Beatles' original vinyl copies, such as a Jobette-labelled early 1963 mono copy of the "With the Beatles" LP in VG/VG+ condition (which, as you rightfully mentioned, was not pricey at all). Btw, a record dealer in Athens stumbled upon the McArtney-labelled promo copy of "Love Me Do" in a local record fair a few years ago. He bought it FOR PENNIES just because "it seemed different" and he was totally jaw-dropped when he discovered its rarity and value (the story is 100% true, I know the dealer personally). One question, if I may: is there a way for me to add Greek subtitles on this specific video (with your permission, of course). It would be a valuable source of information for other Beatles fans here who are not at a fluent level in their English. In any case, it was a pleasure watching this one! Thanks for uploading and keep up the good work!

My Dad was in the forces during the Sixties stationed in various places across the world. He once told me that while he was, I think, in the Middle East, he picked up a copy of "Something New" from a NAAFI shop. When he played it, however, as he put it,. "There were no vocals!" so... he returned it. For a long time, we assumed it was a bad pressing and could have been valuable for that reason. I now think It's more likely that he had a stereo copy with tracks in fake stereo that he was playing on a mono player. That would make it less valuable... or would it? From your video, if it was one of these special imports for the British forces, it could have been worth more than ten times what he paid for it! Oh, well... I guess we'll never know.

The sticker at 4:09 says “Factory Sample Not For Sale” were also being used on all EMI releases including the Tamla Motown 45’s. 5:11 is a test pressing record which is pretty rare at the time, sadly none of the test pressings were on Tamla Motown and Stateside, because of the US test pressings are on Motown, not in the UK. Tamla Motown was the label that put out a lot of the original Motown albums from the US and imported to the UK.
Re the A label demos...I remember these being valued in Record Collector in the early 80's at around £80....
I was once told by a Los Angeles Radio Engineer that “acetate” demo discs had a playing surface that was about as good as recycled ASPHALT! If you were ever a Radio DJ, this will mean something to you: You could cue up an acetate a grand total of ONCE before the lead-in groove would develop a case of “cue-burn”! If you were never a DJ, cue-burn is an audible scratchy noise. Depending on how long the acetate was allowed to play when cueing up the record, the cue-burn can continue into the song!

A lot of record dealers that either don't know much or are greedy think that every record that says The Beatles on it is worth a lot of money. They usually ask astronomical prices for very common records or ones in bad condition. They should just do their homework before trying to sell things they don't know much about.
I remember musician Peter Hammill reminiscing about buying early Beatles albums pre-release by mail order, to build up the attention paid to the album on release.

Would depend, of course, on their condition and which label variations you have. Both Please Please Me and From Me To You have two label variations and She Loves You has three.
My Auntie (not directly) had a cloth that was signed by the Beatles in the early sixties along with a selection of other stars signatures where she embroidered over the signatures. Their was even a newspaper cutting showing them doing it. She's possibly still alive in her eighties (moved to the US). I wonder if that would be worth anything much?
No mention of Paul's Christmas Album? -:) Danny
Do you have any recommendations on how to spot a genuine autograph? I've always wanted one from John, since he's my idol and I was born much too late to personally get his autograph, but I don't want to risk putting thousands of dollars to a fake.
Someone has got to own the white album no. 666. That’s got to be a desirable copy.

I’ve often thought about that. I’ve seen one that was 10,666 or something like that. Not as cool but still pretty neat lol

I haven't heard all of them but when I have, you'll know.
My mom went to a Beatles gig back in 1964. She was 13 and had no concert ticket and was not let in. After a while she attempted to climb a fence and was caught by a policeman who made her get down. So she sat on the floor and tried to look very sad. Some time passed and the policeman called her over. As she walked towards him she felt a tingle of excitement; maybe he felt sorry for her and would let her in! She finally stood in front of him and he said: "here"- and gave her a Polo mint!

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!
Great info! But who in the world really has these in mint condition. Certainly needles in big haystacks, if they still exist at all.

i think mint is a stretch, but anything above EX the price will shoot up dramatically, & these can be found still

Understandable, I co-owned and ran a prestigious record store in downtown Manhattan NYC for 20 years. I never saw any of these, not a one. Seems strange, or maybe I wasn't paying attention at times.

@@FD13NYC Not so strange, some you never see, however i suspect some of the exports are as easy to find in the States as in the UK. which is not easy at all.
I have a South African pressing with a Rhodesian sticker with a similar label to the gold and black except the label is silver and black.
Excellent Beatles Information... Every Vinyl Collector should Subscribe... 💯
I have never heard "A Hard day's Night/things we said today" was double "A" side this is new to me, if this were true there we'd have it in "1 collection" (weird album which excludes "please please me") i had never heard if John Lennon Even actually liked "things we said today"
