The Beatles

As far as I'm concerned, there are enough vintage copies of the American albums floating around in record stores and the like to satisfy the few people that really want them. Maybe the mono versions would be difficult to locate for all the American albums but anybody who wants them would have to be a huge Beatles fan...perhaps big enough to just invest in getting original copies? I don't think it's necessary.

I thought they reissued Revolver? I could have sworn I saw it.... Either way, I agree. Every time I walk into a record store I see like six copies of Sgt. Peppers, numerous copies of Magical Mystery Tour, etc.

The US version of Revolver with it's slightly different track listing hasn't had a modern vinyl reissue (past the year 2000) to my knowledge. And yeah, most Beatles albums are readily available as long as you don't mind the sometimes peculiar mixes that are the most common.

I can't tell you when the names were rolled out in this order, but for some unexplainable reason they always seemed to be talked about in this order. Perhaps it was due to John being somewhat the spokes person for the band. The fellow with all the off the cuff answers for those interviews. Do most people roll the Beatle's names out in this order?

Also it seemed that at the start of their career John sang lead on most of their songs along with most of their earlier hits. Hard Day's Night , Help, only by Revolver and Rubber Soul did Paul get rolling except for the back up harmony of course.........

It's the order they joined the band. John started a band called the Quarrymen which Paul joined a year later and George joined a year after that, when Lennon's Mother died the Quarrymen fell apart and resurrected a year or two later as the Beatles with Pete Best on Drums(it's a little more complicated than that but whatever). When they Went to record their first single, producer George Martin decided Best wasn't a very good drummer and wanted to use a studio musician on the record, instead the band decided to just replace him entirely with Ringo.
