Favorite Beatles album

[Vince Evert]

Abbey Road, by far.

Say did any of you get the Mono only limited edition vinyl box that came out last year ?


If you're a purist. Here's a really cool comparison video, very nicely done -

Fantastic posts of The Beatles material above--simply outstanding and illuminating. By and large, I prefer the mono versions.

Thanks, Mr. T--that video of the mono vinyls was neat to watch. I recall all of those records, most of mine being the stereo version. Cheers!

Well, I didn't call it, to be honest, because I expected that there would be some singles from it, but when I said I didn't think of it as a singles album, it's because I thought of it as an album created as a block, or unity, and not just a random bunch of songs they put out as a disc.

I think Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were recorded at the same time, and put out as singles, but left off the album, for whatever reason...

after the touring stopped in aug 1966 they has 3months off and didnot start recording again until just before christmas 1966, and by jan 1967 therecord company wanted something to release (as for the first time the beatles had nothing new to put out for the pre-cristmas market).. George martin told 'the boys' and at that point the only stuff recorded was strawbfld/pennylane..

those songs were meant to be on sgt pepper but they released them as a single, and decided to make two colour films to go with the songs, at the time for some reason they didn't want to put songs on the album that had already been released as singles, (later regretted that. George martin went as far to say it was a massive mistake not to put those 2 classics on sgt pepper.)
