Beatles on vinyl -- what to look for ...


... and what to avoid.

I'm hoping to buy some Beatles LPs, but I'm confused by all the choices out there. I'm no kind of collector. Nor am I llooking for the absolute best, with cost no object. But I've really been enjoying vinyl again, and it's long past time to get me a bunch of Beatles LPs. Are there certain labels -- or countries -- that are considered as usually good quality? Are there others that ought to be generally avoided? (I understand that the British releases in the earlier years were not the same as the ones that folks my age grew up with in the 1960s in the US, with different songs, different mixes and all.) What I want is to be able to spin some LPs and hear the Fab Four doing their thing. But all in all, I'm overwhelmed. And a look at the archives hasn't made things a whole lot clearer. Do I search for specific stuff on eBay? Are there new pressings that are worth anything? Any direction would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If it were me, cost no object, I'd look for a sealed box set of the MFSL half-speed mastered discs.. often seen on ebay and here, price varies(?) up to a $ grand or so.

Try to focus on the US Capitol releases, the black label with rainbow colors around it. Mono pressings are better sounding in many people's opinion. They are usually going to cost more.
If you just want Beatles on vinyl, the other American Capitol pressings, green label, purple label, and the latest (put out a few years back) black/rainbow labels are OK.
You can get Get Goldmine's record pricing book if you want to get serious: http://www.amazon.com/Goldmine-Record-Albums-Guide-Album/dp/0873417801
It will help you identify all the different pressings and values.
Have Fun!
