Excellent video and accompanying images are fantastic! I am sure this is exactly the kind of response the "call to arms" was intending on garnering! Looking forward to others by the great music fans out there....
Your knowledge of The Beatles, for me, is intense and staggering! I would imagine there are others out in the world with even more but, again ‘for me’, you offer more details and info than I could ever possibly want! Bravo!
Fun tag Mazzy, love your personal OG single, very cool! A channel that just kills it with Beatles content would be Pop Goes The 60's...Matt produces AMAZING Beatles and 60s era content...Parlogram is my go to for Beatles vinyl knowledge.
Hey Mazzy, too much Beatles? Nah! This is a vinyl tag purpose built for moi, so thanks for the inspiration mate. Loved what you did here. Your intros are a font of valuable information. Happy New Year mate. 👍👍
a continent apart, we share a very similar introduction to the world of music, mainly by the Beatles. My first LP was Beatles Greatest containing their very first songs. I still own this records today.
10:15 Wonderful cover. But never mind all that: *THE BEATLES ENGLAND by David Bacon & Norman Maslov* arrived at 10.00 a.m. this frosty Manchester morning! The book came packaged in a vintage 10" album cover *A JOLLY CHRISTMAS* - - but expectations of Norman Maslov singing ' *Silent Night* ' & ' *Hark! the Herald Angels Sing* ' were premature. It was A JOLLY CHRISTMAS FROM FRANK SINATRA. Same hat, different guy. The book condition is appalling. But perusing it this morning, the book itself - - & I'm shocked all the way around the block - - is *Very Good* . This book alerted people to the dirge of a Liverpool Beatle tourist trade, yes, but now in Liverpool that industry has witlessly erased most of the Beatles aftermath sites photographed in *THE BEATLES ENGLAND* , taking us further & further away from the city that the Beatles lived in. So this book is closer to the original Liverpool Beatles sites than the revamped locations, statues & all, now touting kitsch trade in Liverpool. Turns out the tourist industry has the exact same sensibility as property developers. So *THE BEATLES ENGLAND* now has an ironic historic value beyond its original remit. It preserves the *aftermath* , the neglected crofts & buildings now *two steps* removed: now effaced by the tourist trade that makes a Beatles theme park out of Liverpool, oblivious to how J, P, G & R never lived in anything like that environment. Paul & Ringo would better recognise their old hometown from this book than they would by taking the Liverpool tourist bus.
Great comment and take on how Liverpool looks today. I never considered our book freezing a place and time , but yes. Our original photographs from 1978-1980 capture a place that doesn’t exist in the same form. But that’s pretty much like so many other cities today too. ✌🏼
My favorite Beatles song when I was a kid, I Want to Hold Your Hand. My mother was a Beatles fan. I grew up listening to The Beatles records. The 7 inch single you showed with the picture sleeve is great 👍.
Enjoyed your video Mazzy. I celebrate this time every year and proud of it. Loved hearing your answers to the questions. Take care. ( also love your intro stories, it sets the mood)
Enjoyed your Beatles Tag. One thing you said about Ringos country album was spot on!! I hope Ringo does another His voice is perfect for the genre! His recent EPs haven’t really been that good so I have always wanted a second Ringo country album!!!
I have to agree. What made me into a Beatles fan was their artistic approach to creating music. The Stones did not have that. And we can rate the Beatle Solo efforts on the same scale. Were they trying to sell? Or were they trying to find new sounds to lay down on vinyl? Were they pandering or innovating? It is a harder scale to gauge than may seem at first sight. 1. I bought an Uruguayan "Ye, Ye, Ye" (Hard Days Night) LP in Montevideo with my brother and mother when it first came out. Same track listing, just that Uruguayan double plastic cover with paper inserts, and a very heavy vinyl pressing. 2. I have a copy of 'Beaucoup des Blues' (proper French syntax) at a delete bin at a K-mart. Love the sound! 3. I have a German pressing of 'Tony Sheridan & the Beatles.' Yes, John's voice is amazing on 'Aint She Sweet.' Curiously enough, the other Beatles track is 'Cry for a Shadow'-an all instrumental track. 4. Best Beatles EP? Long Tall Sally. I bought a copy at a London record shop in 1982. Why? The EP had all non-album tracks, except for North American 'wankers'. Side 1 was on The Beatles' Second Album, while Side 2 was on the North American album Something New. However, if like me you weren't buying Beatle albums until the mid-1970s, then the US Capital titles just weren't on the list. But 'Long Tall Sally' sure was. ........ 8. My fave Beatle guest appearance-besides Lennon on Nilsson-is Paul McCartney ('Ramon') on the Steve Miller Band's 3rd album-Brand New World. Was Paul auditioning?? 9. Rock-n-Roll Music... I love the label on that two record set. Though I think it is more appropriate for the Beach Boys than the Beatles. 10. Giles Martin Remix-Giles has yet to get to it... I want the Hamburg Tape cleaned up using the Peter Jackson process. Take out the scratches and the fans and the background music and just give us the voices and the instruments. Then do it to the Hollywood Bowl performances.
It was 1962 for me my first Beatles buy. I loved John's harp in "Love me Do" big time.... Years ago I did a show your Beatles albums vid. Just the other day I did a show your Beatles 45s video......... I know I knock them all the time but it's the fans I got a problem with not the band. LOL
your beatles' videos are always in the top 5 of any made and i just saw the may pang film "the lost weekend" last week and really liked it and loved the notion of john doing whatever the hell he wanted with a very lovely 22 year old asian woman who cared about him. i was reminded of it when you mentioned them promoting "walls and bridges" in SF. i wish you could have met him.
You can never have too much videos online of all the people on UA-cam can do as much as they want as far as Beatles on vinyl on UA-cam I don’t have a channel of my own on UA-cam I am not sure how to do that but it would be fantastic. I do have Norman a copy of I wanna hold your hand the American version and what’s great about it is I bought it at a store in Portland I think it’s called garage sale or something like that and it’s in mono which is great and the flipside too I wanna hold your hand as I saw her standing there and it’s a wonderful 45 it’s in great condition and the original paper sleeve is there and it’s a fantastic two song 45 like all the Beatles music is. for those who say that there’s too much Beatles are the non-beetle fans but for fans like me I can never get enough.
Love those bootlegs! You should do a video of all your bootleg vinyl, very cool that your photo was used. I think the Rubber Soul is from Taiwain. Good choices.
Obviously, I absolutely adored this take, Mazzy. It’s a trip seeing all those Beatles goodies discussed and hi-lighted in your unique style. Thanks for taking this on 🙏🔥🥰
As always great video! Not in the same league with your collection or history with the Fab 4! All this and you didn't even show your OG butcher's cover!
I once had a beatle bootleg from a show in the 60s in one of those covers that looked like one of those homemade religious covers from back then. You could barely hear what song was playing as the screaming was drowning it out so i sold it...i wish i didnt!!
RE. Those LBC bricks , they are referred to as “commons” over here , often used for brick workings that aren’t designed to be seen , although they do make some facing bricks , but generally poor quality. The indent of the brick is referred to as the “frog” of the brick….. LBC sometimes release without fanfare a limited number of commemorative bricks for important Royal events , often only 1 brick per pallet of 500 , I’ve got a Charles and Diana wedding day and 2 x Queen Elizabeth 50th Jubilee bricks with the notations and crests imprinted into the frog from my time as a bricklayer…..probably one to be released on McCartneys death too , without fanfare and designed to be built into the fabric of the building unseen. And here endeth your history lesson…..
Hi Mazzy I would very much like you to do an in-depth video of the Get Back/let it Be Sessions Chronicles. I'm aware that you've done something in that vein but I would love for you to dive into your collection of Get Back Bootlegs, especially the Thirty days Box Set and the Get Back Journals if you have 'em. What's your take on these recordings, do you have a go-to release? maybe a bit of background history on the Nagra Tapes etc. Thank you very much for all the great videos and keep up the good work Kind regards from Munich, Southern Germany
I used to listen to those boots a lot. Al’s have them digitally on hard drives , but I rarely listen to them anymore. Mostly listen to the proper albums and outtakes now.
Wasn’t ‘Peace of Mind’ a fake Beatles tune? I have a Chinese version of Simon & Garfunkels ‘Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme’ that has a similar type cover to your Chinese Rubber Soul-cheap blue paper cover. I figured it was just a cheap unofficial release. Also, I was in Liverpool last September -the city looks amazing, prosperous & vibrant! My sister was there back in ‘78 when it was considerably rougher, more like it appears in your book. But if you visit Liverpool, which I highly recommend, leave time to explore the city. It’s well worth it!
I agree 100 percent regarding the Yellow Submarine Songtrack remixes. Those are the best sounding remixes surpassing any of the Giles Martin ones. I Am The Walrus and She Said She Said are just abysmal.
Your mom sounds like a very good mom indeed! I get the little league world being turned upside down reference overnight, really well. Willie McCovey, Willie Mays, Juan Marichal one minute and John Paul George and Ringo the next This sounds like this year will be your 70th hope it was as good as mine No BEATLES no Ravi Shankar awareness for us
What would be your most interesting Beatles or solo 8-track? Mine is an Apple 8-track of George Harrison's Electronic Sound, still factory sealed. I found it in a rack of 8-tracks, sometime in the late 70's.
I love it when you talk about the Beatles. Your knowledge and your collection are great. But in my youth I was more of a Rolling Stones fan, which changed a bit later. I just love them both. Greetings🇩🇪🖖
That portrait with the psychedelic Nehru jacket is everything a '60s pop-rock fan could wish for.
I agree. I'm totally jealous!
That shirt. Each member of our band bought one in early 1968 from the Town Squire on Polk Street San Francisco ✌🏼
La tua collezione è incredibile...complimenti per i tuoi bellissimi video❤
Excellent video and accompanying images are fantastic! I am sure this is exactly the kind of response the "call to arms" was intending on garnering! Looking forward to others by the great music fans out there....

Great info here @Mazzy .. never knew exactly what the Hamburg tapes were, so I’ll have to keep an eye out for them
a continent apart, we share a very similar introduction to the world of music, mainly by the Beatles. My first LP was Beatles Greatest containing their very first songs. I still own this records today.
I agree with The Yellow Submarine Songtrack album. Best sounding Beatles remix I've ever heard. Love it.
Great entry for Rachel’s tag! I’m enjoying seeing everyone’s responses. Take care, Matt

Your videos give me so much pleasure. Thank You
So nice of you. Thank you Keith . Many more to come. ✌🏼🎸🥁
I enjoyed this Mazzy.
Well you should Richie 😬😜🤠
You must have THE best Beatles collection, everytime I see it it blows my mind .
Luv the show.

David Soul, Don't Give Up On Us Baby, from Starsky & Hutch Passed Away. Wow they are leaving us quickly.
Love those bootlegs! You should do a video of all your bootleg vinyl, very cool that your photo was used. I think the Rubber Soul is from Taiwain. Good choices.
agree looks Taiwanese...
Mazzy, I didn't watch the video but I really like the shirt you wore in the thumbnail.
Great pic of you and Ringo Mazzy, very cool.
Thank you for highlighting Ain’t She Sweet! Those Hamburg recordings have excellent sound quality and are usually completely ignored.
My pleasure! It’s such a great version ✌🏼
Obviously, I absolutely adored this take, Mazzy. It’s a trip seeing all those Beatles goodies discussed and hi-lighted in your unique style. Thanks for taking this on 🙏🔥🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!✌🏼
Had that Strawberry Fields Bootleg! 😲 😲 😲 😲 😊😊😊
Love the Ruby Braff cover hiding out in the background ❤
That wild shirt is a winner
As always great video! Not in the same league with your collection or history with the Fab 4! All this and you didn't even show your OG butcher's cover!
Butchers covers are shown too much 😜😵💫
Wow Mazzy, helluva collection you got! 😎
Thank you 😁
I once had a beatle bootleg from a show in the 60s in one of those covers that looked like one of those homemade religious covers from back then. You could barely hear what song was playing as the screaming was drowning it out so i sold it...i wish i didnt!!
Sadly, I lost my lunch pail while working on a NYC skyscraper in the 1930s.
The "Five Nights" bootleg was the first to feature a 'real' looking cover.

And here endeth your history lesson…..
Fantastic info. Thank you. ✌🏼
There’s a 2023 documentary about Nicky Hopkins called The Session Man.
Wow. I need to see that ✌🏼

happy new year Mazzy!
As masterpiece of a tag. Just have to have some Beatles.
Mas... In 1964 I was 7 years old... I also had the measles... As a surprise, my mom got me a copy of Twist and Shout... The rest is history...
I looked just like that in my bar mitzvah picture - different clothes, though... 😄
Wasn’t ‘Peace of Mind’ a fake Beatles tune? I have a Chinese version of Simon & Garfunkels ‘Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme’ that has a similar type cover to your Chinese Rubber Soul-cheap blue paper cover.

Awesome
That picture isn’t Mazzy…It’s McLovin! A glitch in the matrix 😮
😊
Hi, Mazzy. Great show. Cheers from Germany. Peter @petervinylwurm
I agree 100 percent regarding the Yellow Submarine Songtrack remixes. Those are the best sounding remixes surpassing any of the Giles Martin ones. I Am The Walrus and She Said She Said are just abysmal.
Also, Nicky Hopkins played piano on an actual Beatles song, Revolution.
Yes he did 🎹
Just out of curiosity and I think about this all the time.
Have you left your collection to anyone? I worry about landfill personally.
There are plans 🤠
Your mom sounds like a very good mom indeed!
I get the little league world being turned upside down reference overnight, really well. Willie McCovey, Willie Mays, Juan Marichal one minute and John Paul George and Ringo the next
This sounds like this year will be your 70th hope it was as good as mine No BEATLES no Ravi Shankar awareness for us
Hello, Mazzy. The1999 Yellow Submarin you presented, is it an European pressning.
So I like 1962-66 and 1967-70 recently got.
Still like those albums
Not perfect like I want.
Have a batch of the Beatles since the ‘80s.
Mom got me these albums she grew up with. My first one I had was Abbey Road from Target in Phoenix 1983. Purple label.
I think you’re the only member of the VC that can claim the have been bootlegged by the bootleggers.
It’s an honor 😵💫🕺🏽
What would be your most interesting Beatles or solo 8-track? Mine is an Apple 8-track of George Harrison's Electronic Sound, still factory sealed. I found it in a rack of 8-tracks, sometime in the late 70's.
I only have a promo sampler 8 track. Four songs from Hollywood bowl. Sealed.
Hey look at that! Hair!
I love it when you talk about the Beatles. Your knowledge and your collection are great. But in my youth I was more of a Rolling Stones fan, which changed a bit later. I just love them both. Greetings🇩🇪🖖
I love the stones too. But the Beatles changed everything for me.
CHINEse rubber soul is from Taiwan,,maybe,
I've got this book I've got that book Na-na-na, that Hopkins album is the worst album art ever
I don’t mind the cover illustration 🤷🏻♂️
Why would u describe Rachel’s podcast as a “shit show”?
Because it is some of the time. But it’s a fun shit show if you don’t take it too seriously 😎🤠
@@mazzysmusic Oh ok, thought you ment it was shit show in a negative way like it's a shitty show. Well have we wrote shit enough now? 😂
