Hello, I think there are too many random messages about stock markets, so i will bring back the subject with a question about Capitol orange labels! hahaha!! ...
Oh! i also forgot to ask what was the best way to purchase Piers Hemmingsen's books about canadian records? Is it worth it? is it a good book? Anybody has the...
Piers books are both available through Beatlology Magazine or the Beatlemania Shoppe. I highly recommend them to anyone seriously interested in collecting...
The easiest way to compare Compo's to RCA's is the size of the indentation ring. The RCA ring is much larger than the Compo. As for the spam, I've been...
We should also keep in mind that the Compo Company ceased to exist as of circa December 31st, 1970. After that it was known as MCA. It would appear that MCA...
Wow! You guys never cease to amaze me; you are like a living encyclopedia! I thought i knew a lot about the subject, but it is finally good to meet people who...
I can confirm that on the orange label there are both mono and stereo versions of Long Tall Sally. I posted a picture of the stereo version in the Beatles...
My orange copy of Twist and Shout is mono. Interestingly, I have an orange copy of the Long Tall Sally LP with the mono designation (whole dot) on the cover...
Hi, I just looked at the picture section and saw the stereo long tall sally on the red label (hybrid). I was just wondering if the stereo tracks were actual...
Hello Serge, Firstly, this label should not be referred to as the "red label" as we have the red target label in Canada and the two are often confused ...
Hello again, I've been going through old posts trying to find any indication of a price range for a first pressing "no dash and number" Love Me Do, but i ...
Hi Serge, This record has never been recognized in any price guide that I know of, not even the new Perry Cox issue has prices for Canadian records. There is...
Well said, Fred. This is a subject that just won't go away because the record in question has taken on a whole life of itself (at least here anyway). I know...
Hi, I just got an Abbey Road album and I need some info. It says apple so- 383 on the back with Capitol logo. Rainbow label. I cant find anything on the web....
The 170 figure comes from Paul White himself. I think what you experienced, Ian, was a rare coincidence. Why would Capitol produce 2000 copies exclusively for...
Assuming this is a Canadian pressing, this was the version that came out in the early 80's on the retro rainbow rimmed label which followed the purple label....
Hi, This is a re-issue from the early to mid 1980s. Are the words "The Beatles" in stylized print on the labels ? I just got an Abbey Road album and I need...
yes "The Beatles" is in script and "Abbey Road" is capitalized print.On the label it does say manufactured and distributed in Canada ... Beatles" ... so- ... ...
hello, i was going through my collection trying to identify pressings, and i could, quite easily for most of them, but some turn out not to be so clear;...
U.S. stampers were used for several albums and singles in the sixties. Beatles '65 and Help come to mind. I'm pretty sure that all US stampers were sent up...
Well, as promised, here is my report on the 18 original orange swirl Canadian singles in VG+ condition that recently were up for auction on that well known...
"She Loves You" is puzzling. It was quite possibly their top selling single of all time in Canada. I'll bet a minimum of 150,000 were pressed as swirls alone....
You're right, Ian. I paid $5 for my copy of S.L.Y., and its NM-. I see them all the time at record shows, but hardly ever see Do You Want To Know a Secret or...
Yes folks. There is such a thing as a Canadian version of David Peel's "The Pope Smokes Dope" on Apple. Mine arrived today and is a Compo press. Yvan T....
Canadian fans will probably want to catch a one time showing of Help! on a big screen near you. Check this link for a listing of all the Cineplex theatres that...
Hello! I was wondering, as i was reading on first pressings of the US White Album, if the Canadian first issues also had mistakes on the labels? (revolution No...
Hi Serge: I don't know if this helps, but all of the White Albums I have seen made in Canada do NOT have the label error. I also own both Compo and RCA...
Same situation with my copy, Yvan. The white sticky things had let go and the discs were loose in the book. I've heard from several others that experienced the...
Thanks! As it seems, Canadian copies of the white album indeed all have corrected titles, thanks for the info. I am also assuming that no copies were pressed...
hi i am another beatles freak from canada , now i am hong kong.my best collection is the export edition of white album.itis the best sound i heard so...
