Comments and Reviews


Azguard 21st Apr 2017		Just added two images of black Parlophone Label, Sleeves and Album are exactly the same as Orange Labeled version right down to Label Codes and Matrix run out Codes.



Record Collector 25th Sep 2015		Here's that label



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		My tracks used to do what I call a head on collision where one track starts and another doesn't get to finish due to updates it has ironed out that problem



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		I'm jumping off now, everybody! See you all on the "flip-side"! Bye!



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		The way I do it, I string several "tracks" together to form one long file, blending each onto the end of the last via mix-paste function, so that as one song ends, the next come in just a few seconds before and the crossfade is a natural one.



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		Speaking of crossfade my MP3 has that feature it crossfades fades in and out and cut fades once one song finishes the other song starts less than three seconds



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		A while back(last year, in fact) I bought an MP3 player for the car. I play it through a cassette adaptor(a cassette shell containing electronics to feed the audio from any source with a headphone socket, the adaptor's lead is plugged into). I have a set of "mixes" which I put together with Sound Forge. Each Mix runs about 75 or so minutes of non-stop music, crossfaded. I've been a bit remiss in not making up any new mixes for it lately, but when the mood takes me, I'll make up a few Motown mixes for my next trip to Nundle so I'll have something to listen to on the way.



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		Has four thousand songs on my iPad that's nearly a weeks worth



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		RC's 4th May comment: "Despite a running time of almost one hour the vinyl edition of this release has only ever been available as a single LP" That's not at all surprising, RC. Look at the K-Tel 20-hits LPs, each side runs for roughly 30 minutes for nearly an hour's total playing time on ONE disc, so there was no need to spread the contents of this album over two discs(as it happens, The Beatles 1962-1966 "The Red Album" could've easily been accommodated on just one LP). A blank CD-R has a capacity for 1 hour and 20 minutes of playing time if burned as a disc to be played on an ordinary CD player, but, if you burn the tracks as raw MP3 data files(using the CD-R as a storage medium), playable only on a computer drive, you can get 12 or more hours of continual playing time.



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		Neil read my 4th of May post last paragraph



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		@RC, combine the contents of each and make up your own CD(mind you, it might need two discs to hold all the tracks).



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		This album and the essential Beatles have to be two of my favourite albums



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		The later deletion of Apple TC-TVSS-8 "Essential Beatles" was possibly to give people an extra few years to buy an "official" issue for their car instead of taping it on their home stereo. Guess they(EMI) wanted to grab a bit more revenue out of it while they still could!



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		Just got my copy out pulled the record out of its cover yes it's a darker Orange the insert features all the Beatles studio albums and post albums right up to 1980 interesting though The Essential Beatles album record issue was deleted in 1981 but the cassette issue was still available until 1984



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		The label as you see it if you remove it from the cover



Neil Forbes 1st Sep 2015		I dunno, might be your scanner & software, RC, but the label comes up looking yellowish to me. The colours for these "unified" labels also varied, even from one Parlophone to another on occasions. Some would be orange, some yellow, some black(with white print). It depended on whether they were normal PCSO-series or special PLAY-1000-series, and on the whim of EMI management too, to a degree. As for going as far as 2009, I seriously doubt that one, particularly here in Australia where the "majors" committed the ultimate industry obscenity of ceasing vinyl production in the early 1990s.



Record Collector 1st Sep 2015		Here it is people I still have the price sticker on it complete with insert featuring their past albums also with the album dust sleeve note the label as this was issued in 1981 it be the last to be issued on the orange label which was introduced in 1970 from 1983 up to 2009



Record Collector 1st Aug 2015		A8 is the wildlife version



TopPopper 18th Jun 2015		Isn't this the 'wildlife' version of "Across the Universe"? I seem to remember hearing it on this album, and being entirely unaware of it previously. If so, I'm pretty sure that it originally came out in 1969, not 1970 as the label states - and this will be the first time it appeared on a Beatles record.



Neil Forbes 18th Jun 2015		Substitute His Master's Voice, Columbia or Stateside in the black box where the Parlophone trademark is, though the label colours for each may vary, and the design then "unifies" EMI's four main labels, including the two "flagship" labels, HMV and Columbia, just as the 45rpm label design did for the singles and EPs. Though Tamla/Motown was "unified" in the 45rpm singles/EPs(albeit with the border round the edge which does not appear on British T/M singles/EPs) but was not included in the unification of the LP labels.



Record Collector 18th Jun 2015		As show above



Record Collector 18th Jun 2015		This album stayed around for most two years still in its plastic protective cover and the price sticker as I mentioned above by 1982 the essential Beatles record was deleted but the cassette copy stayed around for the next two years



Record Collector 4th May 2015		The Beatles' Ballads is a compilation album featuring a selection of ballad songs by The Beatles. The album was not released in the United States, but in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, India, South Korea and Australia. In Australia, the album was a big success, spending 7 weeks at #1. The cover art by "Patrick" (John Byrne) had been created in 1968 as a possible cover for what would become The Beatles (also known as The White Album). Its style and concept appears to support the original working title of A Doll's House. The album was released in 1985 on LP and cassette under the EMI-ODEON label in Brazil using identical front and back cover art. It has never been officially released on compact disc. All songs written by Lennon–McCartney except where indicated. Despite a running time of almost one hour the vinyl edition of this release has only ever been available as a single LP, rather than as a double set as sometimes presumed. Also note that for some of the tracks, such as "Norwegian Wood," EMI Records did not use the mixes of the originally-released versions of the tracks. In South Korea, "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" was censored until 1993, so it was replaced with "Girl".



Record Collector 5th Mar 2015		A1-A2 remixed



Neil Forbes 5th Mar 2015		EMI was bound to issue that James Bond theme compilation at that point. They were "bonded" to it(oh dear!).



Record Collector 5th Mar 2015		And james bonds greatest hits play 007 a play on his secret agent number



Neil Forbes 5th Mar 2015		This release proves what I said about the PLAY-1000 series operating across all labels. This one, the 5th in the series, being on Parlophone.



Record Collector 5th Mar 2015		Play-1005



Record Collector 28th Feb 2015		This is my second favourite I had to save up to buy this one at the cost of $8.99 bought it at David Jones department store the other was the Essential Beatles



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		Now this is the album I have
