Oh, aren't records fantastic? I started collecting them maybe about a year ago, and they're just so nice… There's something sort of surreal about the cover art being so large, after being so used to seeing it tiny on an iPod or a CD cover. 

Not to mention playing them is really quite fun, but you haven't got to that quite yet a-hard-days-night-paul-8

This should maybe go in the Beatle Dreams thread, but I had a dream the night before last that I bought a record player and four Beatle solo albums. And it was all for around $100. Even Dream Me was like, “Wow, this is a great deal!”

Sigh … Only a dream. 🙁 I still need a record player.

If someone were to just see my vinyl collection, they would think I have something against John. I have 8 McCartney albums (two of which I stole from my dad), 4 Harrison (and 1 Traveling Wilburys), 1 John (Double Fantasy ) and 1 Ringo (Goodnight Vienna). I also have Rock and Roll, The Red and Blue albums, and assorted other vinyls. God I love vinyl.

My record collection is quite similar, although I don't have any George either… Which McCartney albums do you have? I've got Ram , Band On The Run , London Town , Back To The Egg and Tug Of War . And, might I add, I am so close to having all of the Beatles studio albums… I'm only missing WTB, BFS and Yellow Submarine a-hard-days-night-ringo-10 I'm very proud.

I always thought Hey Jude didn't look to bad, as far as the American albums go. I mean, it has a nice bunch of singles on it, no?

Yeah, Hey Jude   (aka The Beatles Again, according to the label!) was a genuinely useful release when it came out. It wasn't really a Capitol butcher job; none of its songs except “Can't Buy Me Love” were taken from any of the UK albums. (Of course, “The Inner Light ” should've logically been included, but I guess Capitol had to screw up in at least one way.)

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

I guess it does have a use. Although TIL should have been included. (Welcome back, btw).

May I ask where you went? (Somewhere in Canada I presume?) But glad to see the apples back on the left.

I’ll say it like Jon Stewart: Go F**k Yourself. Just kidding, that’s great. I still remember getting that one myself. But, I know what Jon Stewart would say here, that wise man, and I will echo his intelligence: Go F**k Yourself. I’m kidding, don’t worry. (Sorry, but that’s the product of two hours of YouTube videos of American comedians.)

Gee, Jon Stewart doesn't like me very much, does he? That's okay though, I'm not the biggest fan of his worka-hard-days-night-george-10

All are CDs, except where noted:

 

The Beatles

Stereo Boxed Set

Abbey Road

Anthology 1

Love

Abbey Road  (Casette tape)

Revolver (Casette tape)

Rock 'n' Roll Music (Casette tape)

1967-1970  (The first half on Casette tape)

+A mix-tape my Dad made way back in the 80s


Non-Beatles

The Traveling Wilburys Volume 3-The Traveling Wilburys

I have no vinyl. This is especially sad to me, because my Dad had a bunch of records that were all destroyed in a flood before I was born blue-meanie

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.
