I own the Remastered CD’s (I dearly love them) I can’t imagine listening to them on Vinyl again. The experience of hearing the taps as if I were in the studio without the background noise of surface distortion from the needle on the Vinyl ruins the experience for me. P.S. I was born the day they recorded Please Please Me.

But people would like to discuss all these albums. All legit albums should be up for discussion.

Ditto that! The real crap seems to come from know-it-allls who weren’t there, don’t know the subjects (the Beatles and associates), and haven’t done any real research. ( as Joe so obviously has). Sometimes it;’s funny, but most of the time it’s annoying. Joe puts up with it far better than I would.

Joe, what do you know about the Mersey Beat series of CD’s out of Japan that preceded the US release of the Beatles CD releases in the US.

I don’t see “Something New”, “Beatles ’65”, “Beatles VI”, “Yesterday and Today”. What’s up with that?

The Four Seasons were featured on several labels, (including Vee-jay ) during their career but they were never a Motown group.
The only white singer that recorded for Motown, as far as I can remember, was Bobby Darin.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! And I never really feel like I’m getting hate or crap from people – there’s the occasional nutter, but most Beatles fans are obviously really cool!

I can’t believe the amount of hate and crap you’re getting from people who will probably never expend the energy to create a website with the wealth of information you have but have no problem logging in and spending five minutes composing a comment to just put you down.

Kuddos to you on a great website.

I wouldn’t put Help! in the top half of their 11 odd main releases. It has grown on me though so that may change. I may eventually like it as much as Rubber Soul.

PS I’m also a Lennon-Harrison fan. They should have more co-writing besides Cry For A Shadow and a few one liners on Taxman. Cheers guys.

Help! Is consistently ignored on Beatles best albums compilations. It always comes in 6th or 7th while overrated albums like Sgt Pepper always end up at #1. How anyone can listen to this and not sing along is beyond me. The Beatles had recently been in a downer lyrics phase during Beatles For Sale, but Help! shows the lads at their cheeky, fun loving
finest with a perfect mix of upbeat rock n roll with maturing lyrics.
John in particular shines with aongs like You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away, Ticket To Ride, You’re Gonna Lose That Girl etc. not to mention the title track itself.
This is my favorite album along with With the Beatles and A Hard Day’s Night. It just never gets old.

Call me Beatles nuts, but I believe the order of these albums on this page should be in canon order, not alphabetically.

And if “Live! At The Star-Club in Hamburg in Germany 1962” is in there, certainly “Oldies But Goldies” should be in there too. It was after all, the only U.K. Greatest Hits Parlaphone LP during their tenure.

“Yesterday And Today” just does not belong with U.K. LPs, great story or not!

The Beatles have released BBC material on four different sets (Live at the BBC, Anthology 1, On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, and The Bootleg Recordings 1963. None of them feature Pete Best as no BBC recording earlier than January 1963 has been officially released. All drumming on the official releases of BBC material is by Ringo.

I asked on a different page, on what songs does Pete Best play on Live At The BBC? I was listening and noticed that on some songs the drummer doesn’t follow or accentuate the bass. That has to be Pete’s different style. Does anyone know? I can guess. Looked all over the web. Thanks

Yes, i believe it was. but it was released by the near destitute Vee-jay records. which went bankrupt shortly after the release

P.S. on an interesting note. in a last ditch attempt to make some money. Vee-jay released an album called “Four seasons vs the Beatles” which had one side of Beatles music and one side of music from the Motown group The Four Seasons
