Revisiting The Beatles singles box set

[@terrymann1341]

I got the complete set of those singles but they weren't in a box, but played brilliantly. Still have them. Haven't played any of them in years.. Liking the Blue Sgt Pepper jacket, it suits you, you should grow the moustache to go with it. Many thanks for this vid Dave, really enjoyed it. Strawberry Fields Forever is my favourite Beatles song and for me the greatest pop single of all time.

Hi Dave. I have the original 1976 box set complete with flexidisc and guarantee voucher. Great video by the way.

[@beatledavetherecordcollector]

@@neilsteadman8380 yes, I do have the Flexi disc somewhere, but not sure where,? thank you for your comments, very much appreciated, cheers, Dave

I didn't start collecting Beatles singles until last year. I'd love to get this box set! Oh, and your Sgt. Pepper uniform looks fab!

[@beatledavetherecordcollector]

@@MarkMorris-1962 hello Mark, thanks for the comments, hope you are okay, check out the singles box set if you can, there was one on eBay last night for £80 , it's well worth getting if you can, , oh and glad you enjoyed the video and the Sgt pepper jacket, take care, cheers, Dave

These came out in 1976 the year I discovered The Beatles so it was handy for me as I could get all the non-album b-sides. Real shame they didnt make more of an effort with the covers though. But despite that this set means a lot to me for the reason I just mentioned . I've got the green pepper suit same as your blue one with the tassel. Suits you sir ! Good work as usual Dave.

[@beatledavetherecordcollector]

@@beatleytonesbeatleschannel thank you Tone, I've always liked the blue singles box set, although like you say the covers could of been better and the box is a bit flimsy, glad you enjoyed the video, take care my friend, cheers, Dave ☺️

Wonderful rundown of the Singles.If it is possible, I have always thought that "I Feel Fine "/"She's A Woman " was underrated...Peace and Love,Terry Tutor

[@beatledavetherecordcollector]

@@TerryTutor-cv3hh yes when you think about it, the Beatles released some fantastic shingles and were always changing, and evolving, thank you for your comments and support very much appreciated, take care, cheers, Dave

Nice to see the box set. Where were those 45s copied from? I see another comment talking about the sound quality not being the same as the originals?

[@beatledavetherecordcollector]

@@Imaginenumber9 yes , as far as I'm concerned, these singles sound great and I believe they are from the original master tapes, but not sure,, hope this helps, thank you for the comments very much appreciated, take care, cheers, Dave

I bought this (the later one with the Sgt Pepper/A Day in the Life single) when it was first released. The green insert incorrectly gives George Harrison's birthday as February 25th 1942 (should be 1943). Not a heinous crime but rather clumsy - I mean there are only four to get right. 😃With no information highway in those day I thought that was his birthdate for quite a few years, and false Beatles information leaves a scar. 😀🤭

It `was` Brian Jones of the `Stones` Paul confirmed it in an Interview for Mark Lewishons `Beatles Recording Sessions` Book.

[@beatledavetherecordcollector]

@@alansmith1989 yes that's right,what a strange song, but I must admit I still love it, it's a bit like a goons song is many ways, take care, cheers, Dave

[@alansmith1989]

I once had the 1976 box set- but when I compared it to the sound of the original singles (Especially `Please Please Me`) I swapped them. For myself, the sound quality is `poor` compared to the original pressings - very poor indeed! . Anyhow, the next Beatles E.P UK chart positions is `THE BEATLES HITS` E.P. In the `NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS` Top 30 singles chart `BEATLES HITS` E.P made Joint No 17 after a total (In four runs) of Eight weeks in the `New Musical Express` chart. In the `MELODY MAKER` Top 50 singles chart `BEATLES HITS` E.P made it to No 14 after Nineteen weeks in the `Melody Maker` chart. In the `DISC WEEKLY` Top 30, `BEATLES HITS` E.P made it to No 16 for two weeks after Thirteen weeks in the chart (In two runs). In the `POP WEEKLY` Top 30 `BEATLES HITS` E.P made it to no 22 after Six weeks in the `Pop Weekly` chart. In the `BBC/PICK OF THE POPS` Top 30, `BEATLES HITS` Made it to no 17 for two weeks after Eleven weeks in the chart. In the `RECORD RETAILER` Top 10 E. P Chart; `BEATLES HITS` Made No 1 For THREE Weeks in November 1963. Re this video - DAVE! `PLEASE PLEASE ME` Made No 1 for Two Weeks in the `NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS` `MELODY MAKER` `DISC WEEKLY` `POP WEEKLY` and Three weeks No 1 on the `BBC/PICK OF THE POPS` Chart. It was only No 2 on one chart, that by `RECORD RETAILER` and that chart `WAS NOT!` `WAS NOT!!` `WAS NOT!!! Official in any way whatsoever back in early 1963. Re `STRAWBERRY FIELDS/PENNY LANE` Made No 1 for THREE weeks on the `MELODY MAKER` chart. All this data, I have already posted on your earlier videos Dave. Its there to help you. Next video, all UK chart placings for the `BEATLES No 1` E.P.

@@alansmith1989 thank you so much for all these charts, I think I am going to have to try and print all these off at some point, take care, cheers, Dave
