Hi Mr Mayo, the coloured vinyl is gorgeous. I remember reading that the original idea behind the red and blue album covers was as a tribute to the two local football teams, Liverpool and Everton who play in those colours - and they both won this weekend!
I thought about getting this 6 LP colored vinyl slipcase set. But, I thought the price was too high, and I didn't like the way the bonus tracks are on a separate LP, and in the case of the "Blue" album, not even in chronological order. I think the two 2 CD sets work much better, having all of the songs in chronological order.
Awesome. I really want these, but can’t spend the money in the holiday season. I might ask for them for Christmas, but I don’t think my family would understand the price for the records. Oh well, I’ll have it eventually.
I was kind of hoping the album sleeve would be a tri-fold like the CD release. I get the feeling the 3rd LP was a last minute decision, so it was just stuck in with the 2nd LP. I like that on the CDs the added songs are in their correct chronological order, where as with the vinyl they’re just all on the 3rd LP. As a bit of trivia, both albums were released on red and blue vinyl way back in 1978, but on the Capitol label, not Apple
Cheers on your new vinyl set Mr. Mayo! I got the vinyl set Friday night. And I was blown away by most of the mixes. I’ve been listening and re-listening over and over!
I'm listening to a an OG UK pressing of Love Songs and forgot how well mastered and cut this collection is. It looks like the colour vinyl Red/Blue sets are sold out and most retailers never got them, just the black vinyl sets. Yes, I noticed Joe's Love Songs promo to his right, great collection.
Thanks for showing the details on the Vinyl set. It looks really good. I will be buying the CDS but it was good to see the LPs. The blue and red vinyl is supposed to make it special. The gatefolds look sturdy. They better give you something for the money being spent. This set is a greatest hits package that will introduce new fans to the Beatles. If you don’t want to buy all the albums this is a good compilation to have. 😊
Congratulations to the new Beatles Single release at Number 7 ! Remember, our generation is in the minority. The Millenials are the majority of people around the world now over 7 billion people In the Sixties we only had 3.2 billion people and we had no Global streaming of songs. Most of us had to buy a record by going to a record store or other outlet. The whole culture has also changed dramatically. From what I can see, # 7 in the USA and #1 in the UK is startling great ! And it won't last as long either, because now we have way more acts in music than in the 1960's. Take care and thanks for being as upbeat with our music Today, while we have it.
That might be hard to find. Not sure about USA but here in uk it sold out in under two hours and is now selling for double the price on the auction sites.
I picked up the cd versions on Friday and am excited for the slipcase box due tomorrow at my local shop. Hope Now & Then is number 1 when Billboard unveils its chart tomorrow afternoon.
Nice stuff, Joe! I missed out on getting the coloured vinyl box set, but I’ve managed to get the coloured vinyl bundle which is the same just without the slipcase! Along with every the possible format of Now And Then! 😆 Great video, really enjoyed it. 👍
hi joe, beautiful vinyl on these lp sets, it will be a a nice keepsake and collectable in the years to come! looks like they did a quality job on these. thanks for sharing, take care, rob
Just ordered last night when they became available again. Says they will ship around December 22 but I’m just hoping before the end of the year. I hate that it’s so hard to just pay for a product and get one!
The Red & Blue coloured vinyls look terrific. I especially like the blue vinyl. I’m curious to know if the latest releases in US & Canada have been manufactured in Germany? In the UK all my latest Beatles goodies including Red & Blue CD boxset, cassette single & clear vinyl 7” all had stickers attached to the shrink wrap “Made In Germany”. Here in UK the last Beatles vinyl release manufactured in UK was the 1 album. Most vinyl now on sale here in UK is manufactured in Germany and Czechia. Just wondering if Capitol etc still manufacture product in North America.
Pretty sure my wife got me these for Xmas...love my wife to death. She gets a kick out of my obsession with colored vinyl. Found colored vinyl of yesterday & today magical mystery tour & sgt peppers.
The vinyl is gorgeous, but I don’t have the space for a record player. I usually stream and/or use my CDs. Drive My Car especially on headphones sounds amazing.
oh to be a "fly on the wall" as you listen to these and the needle rumbles around to I Am The Walrus (no skipping now) !.........thank you Joe for a great weekend of live streams...i took some time off to savour theses releases and your streams (and other reviews) made it all the more fascinating...
The Beatles stealing more thunder from The Rolling Stones and I even contributed to it.. I bought the CD versions. I don't have any records or record player like I use to back in the day. They look awesome MyMayo. I saw Mazzi do an unboxing review ealier. Pretty detailed. He made notes. Pretty much enjoys them with a few exceptions. The track order is different than the CD version. It seems to bother some people. If you copy the record or the CD version to computer then you can put it in your desired order. I know some people won't bother doing that. I'm just saying. Enjoy your records MrMayo.. )^_-)/
Hey Joe, Fantastic video, I really like the box for the set. The lps look Great also. I am just catching up now due to camping this past weekend I am sure mine are waiting for me witch is good, it’s always nice to have something waiting for you instead of bills I have been listening to the albums and they do sound GREAT. Take Care.
I'm curious about the liner notes on each album's insert. Were there any direct comments by Paul or by Giles Martin, or are these anonymous short articles about the collection? I am hoping that the Red album is a prelude to some re-mixings of the pre-Revolver albums. Hopefully, we will see a Rubber Soul box set in the next year or so.
When I ordered mine, DAY 1, they were alreadySold Out of this box set, so I ordered the two colored vinyl albums individually. I sent an email (Universal Music who distributes for The Beatles online store's customer service sucks and only comminicates via email) asking if this colored box set would be restocked. I received no reponse but the next email I received no longer showed this colored box set sold out. So, I ordered it too. Supposedly it too is on the way. One thing I noticed on yours is the individual albums aren't shrimk wrapped and therefore don't have Red and Blue Vinyl hype stickers like the individual ones I just received. Mine also features a "Made In Germany" stickers on the backs of each cover, as did the "Now and Then" 12" vinyl I received. Do yours have a "Made In Germany" sticker on them? I think I'll leave the individuals sealed and open the box set instead.
Yes on the vinyl editions the track listing on the first two discs matches the original 1973 release with the additional tracks placed on disc 3. The CD versions (2 discs) integrates the additional tracks in chronological order.
I think the Pictures on the sleve are unclear, washie. Not so clear as the old 73' Albums. That could be done better. But so what. The Sound of the most tracks blow me away. I find it fantastic.😮
First of all, great video and Beautiful albums..the colored vinyl are really nice! How do they sound though? Are they superior to the 2014 vinyl albums? I own the 2014 editions on vinyl and those are great..but do they pale in contrast to the 2023 editions? Just curious..love to get me a copy someday
This is a really cool set in my opinion. I wanted to get the colored vinyl as well but then it sold out. I see now it's back in stock so I hope I am able to get it once I have saved up enough dough for it. There is one think I don't like about this new vinyl version and that is what seems to be almost an afterthought with the third disc. Just throwing all the extra tracks on that record rather than taking the time to mix them in chronologically like the CD version does. Other than that I am enjoying the new mixes and hope to add the vinyl to my collection soon.
Hi Mayo…I just got my Red and Blue colored vinyl version today. Are your red album lp’s slightly warped? Mine are. They play fine without skipping but the stylus is bouncing slightly
Not sure who it was, maybe Matthew Street, was really upset about the Now and then 12-inch arriving in a gigantic box with a few randomly-tossed-in pieces of bubble wrap. Who the hell is working at these places?
My set arrived a day late but the red and blue vinyl is georgous! I noticed that she loves you seems to have distortion and the vocals are set back in rhe mix did you fing that?
The whole idea between the Red and Blue compilations is that they go in chronological order. So, I would just like to know why they broke that in the vinyl edition, whereas it is correctly arranged on the CD. These are new mixes! This would be the perfect opportunity for a decent reissue, properly reordering the tracks, honoring the original intention of a chronological layout. They ruined the whole experience. As it is, it looks like they just want our money. I'm chossing to CD this time. So disappointing 😢…
I can't believe Universal didn't have time to plan for a proper vinyl edition to be released. As I understand it, they take advantage of the fact that the average Beatlemaniac will buy anything. But the truth is: these triple albums are poor editions. They didn't even bother to create new artwork, as was done for example with 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl / Eight Days a Week'. Unfortunately Universal just wants our money...@@MeanMrMayo

Joe, am i understanding correctly that not all the tracks on the red album are2023 RE mixes..some are fron 2019 and 2021 etc..?
Correct
Love how the length of this video is 9:09.🍏
Love the inside of the Record very well done on showing this

I agree. The third LP is the reason why I got this on CD instead of vinyl.
The CDs were 67 bucks total not bad with remixed tracks totally worth it
Got the Two CD Remix today ! 2023 Red and Blue albums I will do a Video on the Remixed tracks this weekend
Awesome. I really want these, but can’t spend the money in the holiday season. I might ask for them for Christmas, but I don’t think my family would understand the price for the records. Oh well, I’ll have it eventually.

I'm glad you were not a victim of Porch Pirates!
I like the color of the blue vinyl very nice!
Me too!
Thank you 🙏🏻 Joe appreciate you sharing, I like the box the albums are housed in
Looks Great Joe
Hi Joe, Thanks for sharing. I agree that the Blue looks better then the red. Beautiful!!!
vinyl rules..mayo schools...
glad you're feeling better my friend..
peace..rocky
Thank you Joe! Nice!!! God bless all!
It’s the first time I’ve seeing the coloured vinyl,thanks Joe.✌️❤️

I wonder how they decided on which extra songs to include.I bought the black vinyl version in the slipcase.Thank you Joe.

Totally agree - I remember shoplifting records from the local Dept Store - Man, those were the days...
Joe they look great. Congrats. I am considering purchasing the colored vinyl box just for my collection and not to play.
That might be hard to find. Not sure about USA but here in uk it sold out in under two hours and is now selling for double the price on the auction sites.
Good looking records showing by a good looking man.
Pre-ordered the Now & Then single and the colored vinyl set from The Beatles Store the day they were announced. Still not here 😢
Yay woohoo!! Let’s have a Live listening party now!! 😂
I picked up the cd versions on Friday and am excited for the slipcase box due tomorrow at my local shop. Hope Now & Then is number 1 when Billboard unveils its chart tomorrow afternoon.
Nice stuff, Joe! I missed out on getting the coloured vinyl box set, but I’ve managed to get the coloured vinyl bundle which is the same just without the slipcase! Along with every the possible format of Now And Then! 😆 Great video, really enjoyed it. 👍
The colored box set is back in stock shipping in December
@@christopherpuma7043 I’m based in the UK, and it’s unavailable on the UK/EU store :(

was looking forward to your unboxing of this
Look forward to next video
Looks like how mine was packaged, played the 3 red albums and vinyl is super quiet, happy with it so far.
The vinyl is gorgeous, but I don’t have the space for a record player. I usually stream and/or use my CDs. Drive My Car especially on headphones sounds amazing.
HI JOE GLAD YOU GOT THE BEATLES RED AND BLUE COLOR EDITION VINYL. THEY LOOK NICE. I AM WAITING FOR MINE TO BE HERE ON TUESDAY. ENJOY AND TAKE CARE. 😀
oh to be a "fly on the wall" as you listen to these and the needle rumbles around to I Am The Walrus (no skipping now) !.........thank you Joe for a great weekend of live streams...i took some time off to savour theses releases and your streams (and other reviews) made it all the more fascinating...
Thanks! And I always welcome your interesting questions, as well as seeing your pretty avatar.
US label graphics. Interesting.
Nice Mayo! Love the videos as always, peace and love from Long Island❤️💙

I pre-ordered mine four or five days ago and still hasn’t arrived. 😕 ❓

The set is beautiful. Let us know how it sounds when you can. Good video, Joe. 👍
I got my blue album cd from Target and Now and Them skips. Can you Imagine that . Everything else is fine.
Sucks!
Why 3 records? Did they add more songs than the original ones had?
Yes
Yes on the vinyl editions the track listing on the first two discs matches the original 1973 release with the additional tracks placed on disc 3. The CD versions (2 discs) integrates the additional tracks in chronological order.
Mr. Mayo, How's the SOUND of the half-speed?
I should have said does Gyles Martin expect us to throw away the earlier red blue sets. I would like to ask him.
I don't know
I have the 76 reissue
I think the Pictures on the sleve are unclear, washie. Not so clear as the old 73' Albums. That could be done better. But so what. The Sound of the most tracks blow me away. I find it fantastic.😮
Annoying that the 'new' tracks aren't in chronological order on the vinyl edition.
Agreed
First of all, great video and Beautiful albums..the colored vinyl are really nice! How do they sound though? Are they superior to the 2014 vinyl albums? I own the 2014 editions on vinyl and those are great..but do they pale in contrast to the 2023 editions? Just curious..love to get me a copy someday
Probably will stick with the cds for playing purposes.
This is a really cool set in my opinion. I wanted to get the colored vinyl as well but then it sold out.

I'm with you on that
Hi Mayo…I just got my Red and Blue colored vinyl version today. Are your red album lp’s slightly warped? Mine are. They play fine without skipping but the stylus is bouncing slightly
Wow. Haven't checked yet, can't right now.
Please let me know? All three red lp’s are slightly warped. I haven’t got to the blue yet
Mine are also slightly warped and full of swirls.
Where can you get that at
Not sure now, but it was from McCartney's website last November.
So does this mean the previous red blue sets go into the trash can ?
That's an individual decision. I would never do that because I am a collector.
Not sure who it was, maybe Matthew Street, was really upset about the Now and then 12-inch arriving in a gigantic box with a few randomly-tossed-in pieces of bubble wrap. Who the hell is working at these places?
True.
My set arrived a day late but the red and blue vinyl is georgous!
I noticed that she loves you seems to have distortion and the vocals are set back in rhe mix did you fing that?
I was disappointed with She Loves You .
Those mysterious ''swirls'' aren't good Mayo man, you might have gotten a better copy at your record store.......
The whole idea between the Red and Blue compilations is that they go in chronological order. So, I would just like to know why they broke that in the vinyl edition, whereas it is correctly arranged on the CD.
These are new mixes! This would be the perfect opportunity for a decent reissue, properly reordering the tracks, honoring the original intention of a chronological layout.
They ruined the whole experience. As it is, it looks like they just want our money. I'm chossing to CD this time.
So disappointing 😢…
Horrible idea but it wouldn't be so bad if it just ended with Now And Then like it's supposed to
The extra songs was a late decision, after the first two regular discs had already been pressed.
I can't believe Universal didn't have time to plan for a proper vinyl edition to be released. As I understand it, they take advantage of the fact that the average Beatlemaniac will buy anything. But the truth is: these triple albums are poor editions. They didn't even bother to create new artwork, as was done for example with 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl / Eight Days a Week'.

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY
LOL! What a waste of a comment. How about you let the purchasers decide if they feel they're wasting their money?
