I was looking at the resale price of ‘Please please me‘ album mono £100. and thousands for a perfect album, most of it used to be on YouTube but I can’t find anything decentits cos of how old it is. stereo was a new thing and those mixes were an afterthought.
if you want to hear what they sounded like back then you have to get a mono record player and a uk pressing from one of the first few runs.
anyway if you’re streaming i’ve told you how to get the mono versions or just listen to the recent anniversary editions of the albums from revolver onwards

the original Please Please Me pressings on the black and red label go for thousands. i have my mum’s Please please me and with the Beatles records that are earlyish pressings but i have no intention of trying to play them. check out the you tube channel Parlagram Auctions which basically just covers beatles vinyl through the years from various countries and record labels that was issued and reissued over the decades. they analyse the sound quality, the dynamic range etc. its so mental
Discogs is the website you need or various websites http://beatlescollectingguide.weebly.com/please-please-me.htmlWell that’s made me think I might have to get mine valued!
Even though my favourite band ever, are clearly huge fans and it clearly shows in their whole back catalogue, I appreciate the love for them, and how they changed popular music forever. I respect them for that.
But I just don't enjoy them. I know exactly why too. As a child between say three and ten, (1963 - 70) I was regularly babysat by my two older girl cousins. During which times, they played Beatles records over and over and over and sodding over again. They even took me to see them (at Belle Vue?) in 66. The buggers brainwashed me with them.
So as I grew into a teen and discovered 'my own' music (Sweet, T.Rex, Mott The Hoople, early Queen) I did all I could to distance myself from the Beatles ... I even gave away (or worse) binned much Beatles memorabilla I had got from them ... cups, coins, plates, handkerchiefs, etc.
Maybe my love of Cheap Trick is subliminally linked to my early exposure to them ...
Yep he belts that fucker out I'll give him that.John’s singing on Twist and Shout is my favourite bit of that album.
