That's all Beatles vinyl would essentially be to me: decoration.

Yeah they are great decoration for sure.

Till then, it's a great decoration xD.

I used to have an old terribly scratched copy; if I still owned it, I'd mount it on my wall (like my "Revolver" cover!)

Do you mean you bought the vinyl because of the cover, or it's the biggest-selling vinyl because of the cover?

Second, I bought it because it was only vinyl you could order on Amazon :P .

I have to remember that we're a global society here.

Well in a mayor Glasgow record store you can get quite a few all brand new (i like looking at them).

 

Also its sales per year so in 2010 it started all over again, same in 2011 & 2012. Anyway supposedly Abbey Road has been withdrawn from sale for the first time in forever which is a sign that the remastered vinyl is up and coming.

White album has more platinum in the usa but only because all sales were duplicated because it's a double album (also why allyhings must pass is the solo-beatles studio album with the most platinum in the usa, the best-selling album in the usa was band on the run)

There must be a reason why Abbey Road has been the best selling vinyl for the last 3 years.

Because it's the only catalogue album in print right now.  I'd be curious to see the vinyl charts if all 13 'canon' Beatle LPs were currently in print.

I think it's always been their best-selling regular studio album - either that or Pepper.

ITSWD: The "Sgt. Pepper" inner groove is also unduplicatable on CD!

And yes, it's very personalized. I can tell you where every hiss, pop, and crackle occurs on every one of my Beatle albums.
But from a pure sound point of view, to my ears vinyl doesn't have a significant advantage. The pleasure, as Satan said, is in the overall experience. It's a certain enjoyment to listen to an album while holding the cover.
Sgt. Pepper was by far and away the best from that point of view (yet ...]]> Fri, 07 Sep 2012 19:09:32 +0100
