Btw, I have several original Beatle albums.    When we came to California, my dad lugged them out here with alot of my other records.   I was leaving them behind otherwise.

Now the records all sit in the corner.   I thought maybe they would be worth something one day so I just kept them.   

Which Beatle was your “ fave”.....lol.....I bet you had a crush on Ringo.....

Looks like you'll get to keep the check. I have no idea who Paul Cole was. 

Why did George's right earlobe stick out more than usual on the With The Beatles/Meet The Beatles LP? 

Here's a link of info on each album cover and their stories if interested.

John wanted Hitler in the crowd for Sgt Pepper......wisely, his idea was nixed...

Other than the fact that it was at a 90 degree angle to his head......I don’t know.....the guys were always  way ahead of everybody else— did he sport the world’s first male ear piercing ?  I give up...

Nice! Way to go, Debbie. I'm really curious as to the LPs you have. Are they in the stereophonic or monaural releases? 

(stereo or mono) I'm thinking they are probably Capitol Records also.

Just a brief mention on vinyl comparatives from the record companies The Beatles had in the US and UK. 

Both were good back when they were originally released. 

Capitol vinyl records had real durability. Hardly anything affected the sound quality if excessive damage didn't happen. Any record can become warped with direct exposure to the sun and/or heat. I ignorantly left my copy of Yesterday And Today in the back of the car coming home from the coast. Well, it did get warped beyond all hope. Replace the LP. It was a mono. 

Parlophone vinyl was very excellent quality. Terrific fidelity and all that. Capitol was great too, I'm not saying they weren't. Since Parlophone were selling to the UK and European populous primarily, they did pay closer attention for seemingly better vinyl. Capitol had a larger call to fill in America so they leaned toward sturdiness instead. But both were decent overall. 

Apple records came out in 1968 with the two LP set known as, The White Album. Good sounding vinyl, but not terrific. They were mass produced for the US, while Parlophone were still pressing vinyl in the UK. Or for a while, from my understanding. Then for a number of years, Apple took over the entire catalog of Beatles LPs from the beginning to the end. Apple Corps. 

Not forever. Apple still kept interest somehow, but eventually folded back to Capitol and Parlophone again. They had a small ID on the records, tapes, and CDs. It doesn't remain totally consistent though. Disputes over rights ran high and some issues were pressed on either company name. They wobbled back and forth, I seen both sides of the Atlantic on this issue. Odd.

I would say George had the longest hair—- but that is too easy....lol......has to be a trick question

When John player Pvt. Gripweed In “How I Won The War” He was sporting a burr haircut, so I would say that he had the shortest hair

As for the other question? I don’t have a clue......good questions .....tougher that you think!

I think they are stereo, and yes, Capitol Records.    Never thought I'd be living here and actually get to see Capitol Records, shaped like a stack of records.
