Reddit mentions: The best british invasion rock music

They were probably best known for House of the Rising Sun and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, but their lesser hits are also amazing. When I Was Young is one of my favorite songs ever. I'm Crying is worth checking out - Eric's vocals on that one are powerful. They were also really good at blues standards and covers. Boom Boom and See See Rider are really good.

This is a pretty good collection.

|name|The Pretty Things|
|about artist|The Pretty Things are a 1960s and 1970s rock and roll band from London. They pioneered a raw approach to rhythm and blues (and later, psychedelia) that influenced a number of key bands of the 1960s British invasion, particularly The Rolling Stones, and David Bowie whose first hero was Phil May. Pretty Things was preceded by Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys which consisted of Dick Taylor, fellow Sidcup Art College student Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.

I get that entirely. Last time I checked, the mono box set on US Amazon was $100 for CD alone, and even worse for vinyl collectors. I haven't even seen one copy of the mono CD's anywhere, and I've even drove around my area looking.

That said, it definitely seems like the 2017 master of Pepper is looking like an actually perfect remix. If they restore the mono She's Leaving Home pitch and fix some minor effects the stereo screwed up from the original like the absence of some Reprise crowd SFX, Good Morning transition, etc, it might be my favorite version of the album.

Annnnd here we go again, another crazy but fun contest =)
Thank you!

I'm really tired of this argument over piracy and lack of physical album sales. Here's why: it doesn't distinguish between a worthwhile purchase and some mass produced cheap CDs in a terrible little case.

It isn't that I don't want to not buy music, it's that I don't want to pay for bad art.

If you stick a crappy, generic, gaudy, burned-DVD on a store shelf in a clear jewel case with jotted, chicken-scratch words that read "Beatles Discography (2009 Remaster)," I am not going to pay money for it. It could be identical in every single way to the box set in terms of quality and quantity. The music would be the same, but I would never, ever buy the DVD. Because it's worthless. Because it's junk.

So here's my point. We don't buy CDs anymore because most CDs are not worth owning. They don't enhance the music, they don't look particularly nice, and they're extremely overpriced. They're not a viable product.

And now, because we have options that make more sense as consumers, we're obviously using them. When I can get online and download an album for free, in 5 minutes, in the same exact quality as I'd get from a CD, why would I honestly want to do anything else?

I can find more albums in higher quality and faster download speeds off of damn near any bittorrent site than I can with iTunes, and the better option is also free.

We have all been raised as consumers, by consumers, in a product-driven world. How else are we supposed to react when given such options? The very forces that brought record labels and physical music sales to power is now bringing them down, and the fall is inevitable.

Until we are presented with a real product that is worth the price tag, we will continue to choose the best option for ourselves. I have absolutely no sympathy for artists that don't create art.

I just got The Very Best of the Tornados. It looks sketchy, but it's really, really awesome.

This isn't really the Beatles/Tony Sheridan. It's Tony Sheridan backed up by Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Pete Best. The intial release even credited the backup group as Sheridan's usual outfit, "The Beat Brothers," because "Beatles" was too close to the word "peedles" which is German slang for a dong.

"My Bonnie"

You can find all of the tracks from these sessions on this:

These are nice curios, but nothing really essential, mostly of historical interest for being the first commercially released music that the Beatles appeared on.

Nice, thanks! This pressing is allegedly inferior to the Repertoire pressing, but it's also half the price, so...

There's also the Big Beat pressing which is priced in-between the two... just to make it nice and complicated.

There's a big thread on Steve Hoffman if anyone is interested.

The top review of the Beatles Mono Box Set on Amazon gives an excellent rundown/review of each album in stereo vs. mono.

Link TL;DR: "Your core, oddly enough, should be the mono box set. Augment this with the stereo Hard Day's Night, The Beatles For Sale, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles, Abbey Road, Let It Be and stereo Past Masters."

The Who Sell Out! The [deluxe edition] (https://www.amazon.com/Who-Sell-Out-Deluxe/dp/B001QBC4AG) has a boat load of outtakes too, some of them are amazing. [My fave is their Jaguar jingle] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9X84ZBO4YQ)

Depends. On vinyl? CD? They have box sets available for each.

CD: https://www.amazon.com/Beatles-Original-Studio-Recordings-Stereo/dp/B002BSHWUU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506552754&sr=8-1&keywords=the+beatles+box+set

Vinyl: https://www.amazon.com/Beatles-Stereo-Vinyl-Box-Set/dp/B0041KVW2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506552798&sr=8-1&keywords=the+beatles+box+set+vinyl

If you're looking for original pressings then tough shit. Hopefully this girl isn't tricking you, otherwise good luck, those box sets are pricey.

The 30th Anniversary UK version is even cheaper at 12.99! Prime eligible and out of stock, but Amazon will honor the price if ordered.

You could listen the songs from the soundtrack of Good Morning Vietman.

Another songs that makes me feel like I want to ride my bike are:

• Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane
  
• Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
  
• Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
  
• Had to Cry Today - Blind Faith
  
• Crossroads - Cream
  
• All Along the Watchtower - Dave Mason
  
• All Right Now - Free
  
• Inside Looking Out - Grand Funk Railroad
  
• Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
  
• Dear Mr. Fantasy - Traffic

Man, just imagine what it would have been like if these two men were in a band together.

That would please, please me so much

The only thing that came to mind for me was the album cover for the Who album The Who Sell Out, which has Roger Daltrey sitting in a bathtub full of beans. Link You might try /r/tipofmytongue if you don't get a response on here, good luck.

Welcome! I would recommend what are known as the Red and Blue albums, see here:

https://www.amazon.com/Beatles-1962-1966-Red-Album/dp/B000002UYZ

https://www.amazon.com/Beatles-1967-1970/dp/B003YNFYD8/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_15_img_1/131-1423328-3952252?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PY818WWRAJ9PXEGCRYTH&dpID=61ZJ7OFt1KL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

Pet Sounds was remixed in the late 90s. The 50th anniversary's (Spotify) second half has the stereo remix which is really good, though slightly different as a few tracks (small parts of songs) were lost and replaced by outtakes (I don't really notice as I've listened to the stereo most of my life)

Odyssey and the Oracle would be Awesome. It suffers some of the same issues (like the horn on This Will Be Our Year was recorded directly on the the mono master so it's not even on the old 60's stereo). Track down a copy of The Decca Stereo Anthology to get a taste of what that would be like. It's basically all their singles remixed in similar fashion to this Sgt. Pepper release.

how familiar are you with the beatles? I'd say get their box set instead. Trust me, you want all the art and what not that comes with it.

Magnificent. Thank you. I always like the kinks from that album they came out with later, called to the bone, but this isn't on it and I didn't know about it.

The Beatles Box Set on Amazon: $130

The Beatles Box Set on iTunes: $149

The Beatles Box Set on the most popular music tracker, in every format imaginable including 24-bit flac... literally priceless.

Yea, the mono collection is the one I am going to get. I read somewhere that the mono sounds way better (engadget or gizmodo or somewhere).

This is the one I was looking at, probably get another copy for my Dad too.

The mono box set, which sounds better, is also available for the same price.

If you're gonna do that, I'd just shell out the extra $38 to make sure you're getting a legit copy.

The Beatles in Mono (The Complete Mono Recordings) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BSHXJA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wT0dzbJF8EE33

Not really. The list price is $250 but Amazon sells it for $129.99.

I already have most of these albums, so I won't probably get the box set. But if I were to buy it, paying an extra 20 bucks so I don't have to rip all the the CD's and the DVD to load this into my computer, I'd think about it.

Or you can buy the same catalog in a CD box set from Amazon for about half the price.

http://www.amazon.com/Beatles-Stereo-Box-Set/dp/B002BSHWUU/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1289937744&sr=1-1

14 CDs for $130. I can't tell you how much the same 14 albums would cost on iTunes because I uninstalled it six months ago.

Here, now you don't have to worry about it. http://www.amazon.com/The-Beatles-Mono-Box-Set/dp/B002BSHXJA

I just discovered the 17 CD boxed set.

Apparently it is so popular, Amazon has had to stop selling it, which is puzzling, because they never had it in the first place. It was only available for pre-order.

Cool video on the Abbey Road page

Pick up the Good Morning Vietnam Soundtrack - it has this track a bunch of others from the same era.

here’s a link to the boxed CD set of the Beatles. gl

This guy is right. Pick up this if you want to hear the Beatles properly: http://www.amazon.com/Beatles-Mono-Box-Set/dp/B002BSHXJA

Edit - that's also why some of the Beatles stereo mixes have wild use of stereo where things will swing wildly from one side to the other for no apparent reason - it was the studio engineers more or less just playing around without the artists.
