Wait!

I recently picked up a copy of Rubber Soul on CD. Trying to complete the entire library and getting close. What an excellent record...like them all.

Love this.

Good deal, Sid. I'm not braggin' but I think I have most if not all of the Beatles albums (ok, I'm braggin').

I know there's a difference between what was released between the US and UK but I would have to google to know. I have some on CD but the majority is digital. Here's my list:

A Hard Days Night
Abby Raod
Beatles For Sale
Help!
Let It Be
Magical Mystery
Past Masters V1
Past Masters V2
Please Please Me
Revolver
Rubber Soul
Sgt. Peppers
White Album

Here's a rare photo of the Beatles before they got big:

I have most of your list on CD, plus four on vinyl including Meet the Beatles, The Beatles Second Album and Beatles IV (IV is mono) on vinyl plus a Dolby 5.1 master copy of Abbey Road record Liane got me last Christmas.

Totally agree regarding UK vs US releases, Bruce. I even have a 33 RPM recording that is the physical size of a 45. It is on Parlophone so it is UK. Had it since 1966. "Twist and Shout" on side one, "There's A Place" and "A Taste of Honey" on side two.

Great pic you posted!

Got to go now, the Wings are coming on against the Flyers.

I need to check my Beatles inventory. I think I'm weak. I actually didn't know the releases were different between the US and UK but makes sense. How different are they? Different albums, songs or what?

[Seymouro]

They are pretty close, more as time went on. The early ones generally just had songs on different album titles than they did here Walter.

[Mark M]

I did a bit of research and apparently, besides mixing songs around, a lot of the early songs were re-mixed for US distribution so there will be some sonic differences. There are also US albums (Beatles '65, Beatles IV, and Yesterday & Today) that there is no UK equivalent for but I didn't check the track listing of those.

[Seymouro]

Interesting, Bruce.

It's funny how some remixing/ and or remastering is really good and some blows...like ZZ Top's "La Grange" when they had it re-done for the emerging format known as the digital compact disc. I guess it depends who is remastering the material. George Martin did a lot of the Beatles remasters, so predictably it was all awesomely good.

Wow, I've been listening to the Beatles all these years and you're telling me there are different versions?
