as a 14 year old I bought the 'MMT and other splendid hits' from the World Record Club..it even has graded circles (for treble and bass)on the back cover where you can mark in your own preferences.
I also bought the 'Essential Beatles' now in very poor condition...strange compilation (Honey Don't and 'Boys'?)
and 'Hey Jude'..would've made more sense to have 'Day Tripper' and 'We Can Work It Out' instead of 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'I Should've Known Better'
This was all about the American market. Remember, the "Hey Jude" LP wasn't issued in the UK back then (although they eventually did issue it in the 1980's). So it was ALL about the US market didn't have. Both sides of the "Day Tripper" 45 were already issued on the US only "Yesterday and Today" LP, but both "Can't Buy Me Love" and "I Should Have Known Better" had NOT been on any US Capitol LP. They were both on the soundtrack of "A Hard Day's Night" which was issued on the "United Artists" label.
I am confused with the Australian release date of the "All My Loving" EP. The release is shown as 9 April 1964. However, "the original and authentic Top 40 chart" showed it as the release of the week on 16 March and it made its Top 40 debut on 20 March, peaking at #1 on 3 April.
How can this be? Should the release date be 9 MARCH and not APRIL? Also, the single "Roll Over Beethoven/Hold Me Tight" is not listed in the singles releases.
Any other "inaccuracies" in the discography?
There probably are - I've covered over 40 countries and I'm sure some errors will slip through. I'm grateful to people such as yourself for pointing them out.
I've added the ROB/HMT single - not sure how I missed that. However, I'm not sure of the precise release date of the AML EP. In the absence of anything more accurate, I'll put it as 16 March.
What a bizarre tracklisting and sequence that "Essential Beatles" compilation has. :/
That may be so, but it was the first Beatles record I can remember listening to.
I have an Australian pressing of The Beatles single Please Please Me/Ask Me Why. The label is lavender in colour and the Parlophone format is quite different to every other Beatles single in my collection. Would this be one of the first beatles records pressed in Australia. I have had the record since 1964.
the Essental Beatles the best compilation album ever released in australia
Any idea of the value of the Australian releases of "With The Beatles" and "Beatles For Sale", with the sleeves being different from the UK releases? I have an original copy of each.
There is a song missed in "The Essential Beatles". Between «Honey Don't» and «Baby You're A Rich Man» there was the song «P.S. I Love You».
The correct song list in side 1 of the LP was:
1. «Love Me Do»
2. «Boys»
3. «Long Tall Sally»
4. «Honey Don't»
5. «P.S. I Love You»
6. «Baby You're A Rich Man»
7. «All My Loving»
8. «Yesterday»
9. «Penny Lane»
The same tracklisting must be on the New Zealand's version of the LP.
Greetings.
The original tracklisting of the EP "Beatles for Sale" was:
Side 1:
1. «No Reply»
2. «I'm a Loser»
Side 2:
1. «Words of Love»
2. «Eight Days a Week»
The correct mono prefix of the cat# for the "Please Please Me" album is PMCO (sure is a mistake!
), and the true stereo prefix for the "Beatles for Sale" and "Greatest Hits Volume 2" LP's was PCSO (sure another mistake).
"Yellow Submarine" was released only on Apple Records, both in mono and stereo, not on Parlophone.
And "Magical Mystery Tour" was released with the cat# S-4574 through World Record Club. I think the spelling WRC is redundant, because it doesn't form a unit with the cat#.
