Record Collection : the Beatles 1/?
Again, breaking these albums up to avoid a post that’s too long. Also the ? for number of parts since I think I might be getting a couple more for my birthday/xmas so that might be the last one when the time comes. But for now, here we are.
The Beatles Second Album. 1964.
I think this is the oldest record in my collection considering it is a copy from 1964. This album is some of their North American album bullshit since this does contain some tracks from With the Beatles but America got Meet the Beatles and the track listing is different and just gah...at least they stopped this shit with Sgt. Pepper and beyond.
Favorite tracks : You Really Got a Hold on Me, Devil in Her Heart, Money (That’s What I Want), I’ll Get You, She Loves You.
Hard Day’s Night Soundtrack. 1964.
This one I have a love/hate relationship with. I thought about buying the actual Hard Day’s Night album but since most of the songs are on this bad boy anyway, there isn’t really a point? Plus is still plays perfectly so....
Now, I’ve seen the movie many times and this soundtrack/album has a special place in childhood me’s heart.
Favorite tracks : A Hard Day’s Night, Tell Me Why, I Cry Instead, I Should Have Known Better, I’m Happy Just To Dance With You, And I Love Her, Can’t Buy Me Love, If I Fell (I actually have a tattoo for this song), Ringo’s Theme (This Boy instrumental).
Rubber Soul. 1965.
This album...
This album right here? Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely never been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.....
It’s probably my favorite Beatles album. No, it is my favorite album. It fucking slaps. As a kid I remember wanting an old ass used copy of this and as an adult I still wanted one. Instead I bought a remaster since damn, that Capitol track listing out here with Help! tracks like, no. I want that unadulterated Rubber Soul experience. Plus the Capital version doesn’t have Drive My Car. That’s a fucking capitol offense right there.
Favorite tracks : Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood, YOU WONT SEE ME (that song is an absolute banger), Nowhere Man, Think For Yourself, the Word, What Goes On, Girl, I’m Looking Through You, In My Life, Wait.
Revolver. 1966.
Another album I enjoy greatly but ruined by Capitol since this is a copy from 1966 and it doesn’t have I’m Only Sleeping, Dr. Robert or Your Bird Can Sing.
When I was younger, I didn’t really care for Revolver. I was more of a Please Please Me and Beatles for Sale kind of bitch. Now? I love this album and I can see why it was my dad’s favorite. It has that Rubber Soul foundation and just built upon that and experimented even more (with music and drugs). The outcome is a fantastic listening experience.
Favorite tracks : Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I’m Only Sleeping, Love You To, Yellow Submarine, She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, Doctor Robert, I Want to Tell You, Got to Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows.
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. 1967.
If you asked teenage me what her favorite Beatles album was, it’d 100% be this one. Now? Maybe 3rd favorite. I do love this album tremendously and have many memories attached to it. Like how Rubber Soul is my comfort album, this is my drawing album.
Favorite tracks : a Little Help From my Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Fixing a Hole, She’s Leaving Home, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!, When I’m Sixty Four, Lovely Rita, a Day in the Life.
Magical Mystery Tour. 1967.
While a very questionable movie, the album slaps. Also it comes with a booklet with behind the scenes photos of the movie. One being a full page of John dressed like a waiter shoveling spaghetti for Ringo’s aunt character. If that isn’t quality, I don’t know what is.
Favorite tracks : Fool on the Hill, Flying, Blue Jay Way, Your Mother Should Know, I am the Walrus, Hello Goodbye, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Baby, You’re a Rich Man.
The Beatles/ White Album. 1968
This one was a bit hit and miss for me growing up. I think the first copy I’ve ever owned of this album was burned CD’s from my brother’s friend. I loved Bungalow Bill and Rocky Raccoon and Back in the USSR but as I grew older, I came to appreciate much more of it. My favorite thing about this album , besides the music, is the track listing at the very end. Fucking Revolution 9 followed up by Ringo gently singing you good night. Whoever made that decision, thank you. It’s hilarious like ‘oh I hope you enjoyed that absolute hellscape here’s a lullaby 😘’.
Favorite tracks : Dear Prudence, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, the Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Martha my Dear, I’m So Tired, Don’t Pass Me By, Julia, Yer Blues, Mother Nature’s Son, Everyboy’s Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey, Long, Long, Long, Helter Skelter, Sexy Sadie.
Abbey Road. 1969.
Another album I enjoyed as a child but only a handful of songs. According to my brother, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and Octopus’ Garden were my fuckin’ jams. I remember really liking Mean Mr Mustard as well. As I got older/ in my teen years I grew to like this album a lot and it was tied with Sgt. Pepper as my favorite. Now? In my top 5 for sure.
Favorite tracks : Come Together (I will never be over fuckin toe jam football like...I have questions, comments and concerns), Something, Oh! darling, Octopus’ Garden, Because, You Never Give Me Your Money, Sun King, Mean Mr Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight (I always sing along to this one...it’s the law), the End, Her Majesty.
Let it Be. 1979.
I got my dad’s copy of this album after he died and to my slight surprise, it’s a copy from 1970 that’s in really good condition! Tbh, this isn’t my favorite of theirs. I never cared for this album as a kid. Even now, it’s not one I listen to often but I do enjoy it a lot more than I did previously. It also wasn’t until a few weeks ago when I watched the documentary of making this and while an interesting watch, it was wholesome seeing Mal and watching George and Ringo lift each other up when showing each other their songs and giving suggestions.
Favorite tracks: Two of Us, Across the Universe, I Me Mine, Maggie Mae, I’ve Got a Feeling, One after 909, the Long and Winding Road, Get Back.
That’s my main albums I suppose you could say. Next? Compilations albums!
