Beatles - Vinyl LPs

being a big fan of Japanese records i have purchased a few of the recent 2004 releases, while i really had high hopes, i was a little disappointed, they were pretty bright sounding. i love the earlier Japanese releases and find them to be superior to MFSLs, and others standard issues.

Tswhitsel, you would have a field day at my home with my Beatles collection.

I had collected specialty (non-bootleg) material. Colored vinyls, marble vinyls, serial numbered promotional copies, test pressings, Japanese, German, French, Italian imports. All Parlophone boxes including, LP, EP, and 45s. Mofi box, The Beatles Box (from Liverpool), Australian boxed EPs, picture discs, all of the original Christmas 45 releases (with the enclosed letters from the fan club), flexi discs, etc, etc, etc.

I also had one of the original Parlophone Red mono box LP set, which were supposedly very rare in the U.S. 99.5 percent of this stuff? Never played.

I should sell it all, but I never will.

Thanks for all of your replies. Looks like Japanese EMI-Odeon is the preference, followed by MFSL, Parlophone, and Japanese Apple. Of course, all of the albums I have now are Capital. (except one MFSL Abbey Road). This at least gives me a place to start. If anyone has a particular favorite album catalog number, send it along. There are still way too many on Ebay to sift through. Thanks again,
Rick

I've got a Sgt. Pepper's MSFL in excellent condition that needs another home. My analog system isn't up to the standards to do this pressing justice.

Here is one of my favourite music sites, perhaps you've been there? For excellent music forums check out www.stevehoffman.tv

You'll find lots of Beatles info and perhaps meet some relly cool people!
