Collecting Vinyl Records : Collecting Vinyl Records: The Beatles

[partyspecialists]

she does not know anything about records

[Redhotice54]

"You know my name! look up the number!"

[Bassmaster970]

This dumb bitch is the reason God made rocks! She cant handle a record to save her life.

[BeatlesCoverzzJGPR]

I will buy that rubber soul for $5

[miniproductions19]

Actually, the first US Beatles release, was Introducing... The Beatles!

[kainthevampireduck]

man.....I'm trying to resist the impulse of reporting this as inapropiate :)

she might be an expert on antiquest, but not on records.......

maybe she hates the beatles?.

anyway, HORRIBLE video, unless you take it as a "how to NOT handle your records" or "avoid this advice at any cost".

please lady, give those singles and that poor rubber soul lp to somebody who cares!!!,

[duran3089]

If you are a certified antique appraiser, I was very shocked not seeing your gloves with which to inspect items the way they should be. Not to mention the questionable handling of the sleeve and record you are displaying on the video.

[q12tube]

She knows nothing! "45's, not worth much" "An album is worth what the market will bare" Duh! I want Charlie Sheen to take her place, he needs a job!

[56jensen]

• What a moron.

[patriciaobrian]

What's all of this about? How stupid.

[beatlegal1]

first of all you don't know what the hell your talking about. you do not handle an album like that, the butcher cover is worth more than $1500, an Meet the Beatles was not the first album, Introducing the Beatles was, it came out in 1963 in stereophonic on VJ, with love me do & p.s i love you . so you need to stop telling people a pack of lies an do your research.

[ledzepp43]

@ThomasJamesMurray

Hi! Considering those albums have a yellow and black parlophone label, they may be up to $200 each. If the please please me has a black and gold label on the record. Your looking at $2000 for that. If they are in stereo, bump the price up by &160

[ladymadonna55]

Am I wrong or was the first beatles album please please me.. someone tell me

[ThomasJamesMurray]

I need some advice, in complete honesty i've been given six Beatles Vinyl all from the 1960's. Even better by my Gran Mother who worked just opposite the Cavern and watched the Beatles on her lunch break. Same time Cilla Black was working there. Same time the sink or something was around? Anyway I need some help, I need to get these vinyls valued, I have...Rubber Soul, With The Beatles, Help, Please Please Me, Beatles For Sale and A Hard Days Night, all British copys in mint condition, Help!

[toasteroven427]

@ThomasJamesMurray

Hmmm let's see. What do the labels look like, as far as coloring and which copies are in stereo and/or mono?

[ThomasJamesMurray]

@toasteroven427 Hello thanks for the reply all copies are in mono and the labels are in good condition however poor Ringo has a clean rip through his face on one of the label fronts. The inner sleeves are a little crumpled but the Vinyl are spotless

[q12tube]

@ThomasJamesMurray Get the info stamped on the label, vinyl. Also if it a rare cover (ie wide vs narrow spine) and who did the cover. Some are more rare. Basically, year, pressing, condition of album visually and played, label, sleeve, and cover. Original materials (sgtpepper inserts). Records can go from worthless to 3000.00

[kainthevampireduck]

@ThomasJamesMurray get a turntable and listen to them :) why would you want to get rid of them?. get the other albums, revolver, sgt pepper, magical mistery tour, white album, yellow submarine, abbey road, let it be, the beatles at the hollywood bowl, and if you can't get past masters on vinyl, get the singles on compilations like "a collection of beatles oldies","hey jude","love songs","rock and roll music",the red and blue albums,"beatles forever","20 greatest hits"...

[MyGenSucks]

i went to a record show and 45's costed more than alot of the lp's($15-$40) and meet the beatles is the first american album by the beatles but please please me was the beatles first lp

[theWorldofWolseley]

You sure don't know about what you're talking about

[machina37]

She dosen't known how to take out record from cover . If she is doing everyday like that -her records are in terrible condition .

[jasonwillis29307]

Can you say RING WARE....

"45's, not worth much"? I have many 7"s that are worth more than her collection probably. Morrissey "Hold On To Your Friends" 7" promo, 200 GBP, Smiths "Hand In Glove" 7" negative sleeve 1,250 GBP. plus many more. I keep them in a fire proof box. So when she said "7's, not worth much" I cringed. She doesn't know shit about record collecting..

[jasonwillis29307]

Can you say RING WARE....

[2tim149]

she's in it for the money. everything is priced @ what the market will bear. that 1 is a no brainer.

[TheSpeediestsnail]

dumb bitch

[sportsguy006]

Ugh. Looks how she jams Rubber Soul in the sleeve. And touching it on the grooves!

[nmycon]

1:02 "the first Beatles album was 'Meet The Beatles'"

uh... NO! it was "Introducing The Beatles" from Vee Jay, perhaps she meant the first Capitol album... who knows? haha

[APyleOfVinyl]

@nmycon Actually the first Beatles album ever is Please Please Me, released by Parlophone in the UK in 1963. The first to make it here was Vee Jay's Introducing The Beatles which came out in January 1964.

[nmycon]

@APyleOfVinyl forgot to mention i was talking about the US albums. She was wrong regardless :P

[APyleOfVinyl]

@nmycon Yeah thank you for that info! I had no idea about Canadian issues!

[nmycon]

@APyleOfVinyl actually... even Beatlemania! With The Beatles was released in Canada (Nov. '63) before Vee Jay even released Introducing The Beatles

[JosephODonnellMusic]

This Woman Is A Joke!

Rubber Soul $3-$5 thats £1.89 they go for around £10.00 here in the worst condition imaginable! :o

[toasteroven427]

Quick, flag it as inappropriate before she can spread her retardation to younger viewers!

[toasteroven427]

It's only worth 3-5 dollars because of the way she is handling it. And come on, even the re-issues are worth money, depending on if it's an orange or purple label of course.

[FOSEEBOY]

45's AREN'T WORTH MUCH???? WHAAAA??????

[Kingdra999]

How could she say something being "sell for 5-10$" I've seen rubber soul and it's a great acoustic record she's an ignorant cow who doesn't know anything on beatles vinyls I know lots about them RS is worth more so she should look up the facts before saying anything.

[smartyjoness]

I...... didn't learn anything from this....

[MegaGrigoryan]

)))))) She nothing understand in Beatles records at all.

Also i can tell that Elvis lp's more expensive than Beatles Yesterday and Today butcher cover. Many USA beatles Ep's impossible to find at all than Butcher cover.

[1SPYRO]

Are you fucking serious, "Meet The Beatles, the first Beatles album". First of all, that was the SECOND US album, and there were two UK albums before that! Damn that pisses me off.

[qsergyuko]

@1SPYRO How about you shut your cunt before i shut it for you,fucking little pissant cunt.

[1SPYRO]

@qsergyuko Isn't someone a little fucking insane?

[toasteroven427]

@1SPYRO

You are correct, Meet The Beatles was the second U.S. album, because Introducing The Beatles was released on Vee-Jay records months before. Meet The Beatles was the first Capitol album. You are also correct that they put out two before that in the U.K.: Please Please Me and With The Beatles. So just ignore the haters, because you're right.

[1SPYRO]

@toasteroven427 Thanks for defending me. I always end up getting told off for being honest.

[toasteroven427]

@1SPYRO

No problem. It's not right that you get hammered on like that. From one Beatles fan to another.

[hahahomer]

She holds the records wrong!!!!

[brix42]

wow thanks for those price ranges.this has me thinking to take a price guide or even just google the right prices before I go for a purchase.I dont know how the store owners that I shop from ,are gonna feel about me whipping out the price guide or whatever ,.....but I bet its gonna save me a lot of money and get me a whole lot more records.

thanks lady.peace

[ab1azee]

How can expert village put such careless/reckless woman on video describing vinyl's. She clearly doesn't how to handle a record. Do you hear that big ass THUMP at 1:47

This poor woman i bet doesn't even know what RCA. Means. And if she does thats great for her. But come on expertvillage. She is clearly no expert. tell the woman to quit the video job and go back driving there kids to soccer practice. Jeez. Some one flag these videos...

[ab1azee]

FLAG IT PLEASE!

[jimman123456789]

WRONG! the first REAL beatles album is please please me

[dmiller128]

lol the first beatles album was meet the beatles in the US so shes kind of right. but i do NOT agree with her touching the record

[jimman123456789]

right on! shes should never touch the vinyl

[cartoonfan1920s]

The first OFFICIAL album in the USA was "Meet The Beatles" by Capitol, but the first album issues in the US was Vee Jay's "Introducing The Beatles" an original version of that IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE, since only a limited number were made before Capitol claimed copyright on The Beatles in 1964. There were tons of counterfeit issues of the Vee Jay album. I own one, the sound quality is terrible.

[ab1azee]

DO YOU SEE THOSE FINGERNAILS MAn. OMG SCRATCH SCRATCH FOR REAL. ITS SO DISTURBING....0:28 -0:42, SO DISTURBING ITS Like the teacher back in grade school scratching on the chalk board to shut the kids up in class!!!!

[cartoonfan1920s]

QUIT TOUCHING THE RECORD! GOD! I hope I don't get any records from her, I'll have to put it several times through the "spin clean" machine before I could get her gunk off of them! Even then they would be worthless cos she bangs them on the table! Ohhh the humanity!

[recordcave]

NOT CORRECT!!! Introducing the Beatles was the first american Beatle album on

the american Veejay label in 1964.

Meet the Beatles came out a few months later by Capitol!! The first UK album was released a year earlier!

[DarkGuitarHero]

@recordcave not months, DAYS!

[jackobyuk]

screw beatles i collect motorhead!!

[TheFRiNgEguitars]

Jan, just a note about what the market will bear.. whether online or in a record shop.. the buyers will pay what a record is worth if it fiils these three basic requirements:

1) right pressing, first pressing, import pressing or audiphile pressing

2) condition: surface condition (scratches) and GROOVE CONDITION (groove wear... you want zero wear ultimately)

3) confidence in the dealer.. earning your stripes takes years.. knowing your stuff earns the trust and confidence of your buyers.

[thetechroom]

first album: meet the beatles... WRONG... The first REAL album is Please Please Me, Meet the beatles is just a generic album maed by capitol for just america. UK albums are the ones that count

[jconifer7]

Excuse me? "45s not worth much"?

No mention of how 45s also contain a forgotten hi-fidelity full-sounding mono mix that often doesn't exist in today's stereo-blind world? Major fail.

And don't tell me that Elvis records are not valuable. Sure, a lot of people like the Beatles but Elvis Presley has come up with a good amount of timeless music if people are willing to give it a try.

There is a difference between an expert and an opinion fabricating know-it-all. This gal is the latter.

[WABC77]

Jan - Suggestion - even though the album you show is only worth $3 to 5 (as it's a reissue), please demonstrate proper record handling techniques, such as not touching the record's grooved surface and properly stowing the record in the paper sleeve into the cardboard cover.

The record should first be inserted into the paper sleeve totally outside the cardboard cover, then turned 90 degrees (open end up) and then gently slid into the cardboard sleeve. Then everything gets put into a plastic bag

[UR55378008]

wasn't the first album please please me? i'm not subscribed and i never will but why are so many people subscribed to expertvillage? they suck!

[almightyseancore]

"meet the beatles" is the american pressing.

"with the beatles" is the uk pressing, worth much more.

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

A very brief video, but I must say that the last part was hilarious, "45's" (shrugs) "Not Worth Much!"

[FabFM]

Yeah; the original US Decca pressing of "My Bonnie" is only worth over $10k..lol. That's an exceptional release I know, on par with Elvis Presleys debut single, but the first UK pressings of "Love Me Do" and "Please Please Me" from 1962 and 1963, both of which charted, sell for upwards of $200!

[VinylCentral]

if your reffering to american albums meet the beatles is still not the first introducing the beatles was

[ToughVideoGames]

Hey if you check you'll know Meet the Beatles was NOT the first Beatles album, Please Please Me was. Get it right.

[kanzosupremo]

in the us meet the beatles wasnt even the first it was introducing the beatles

[Pandemonium44]

meet the beatles? Surley it was please please me?

[HunterMann]

Nice woman but I think she should stick to glassware, Beanie Babies and quilts...

[TheFRiNgEguitars]

OMG She isn't qualified to give advice for collectible albums! Hands off the vinyl please! No mention of label, (orange label pressings not the best sounding) no mention of condition! The price differential is enormous according to the condition of the cover / vinyl.

What a useless video!

[walrus9xxx]

Obviously a clueless "expert". Where do they find these people?

[ClassicalRecords]

Wow... 00:42 ....what a wonderful sound of her shoving the record back...

[CaponeProductions19]

Yes ... that would be a Beatles album.

Gold sticker for you.

[WeAreLikeGiants]

shes no expert. pfft

[kurisux]

lol, ring wear very visible on the cover of that album. haha.

[modifproductions]

Yes... I know tons about the Beatles.

[modifproductions]

However, the first US album was Introducing the Beatles, then came Meet the Beatles (by the way, Meet the Beatles was an only US release).

[modifproductions]

(I'm going to blab on a bit more now) The first CANADIAN album was Beatlemania! With the Beatles (the exact same as With the Beatles, but a Canadian version), after came Twist and Shout, then Long Tall Sally. After that Canadian Beatle Releases were the exact same as the US ones.

[modifproductions]

Please Please Me was the first UK Beatles album, then came WITH the Beatles, not Meet The Beatles. Meet the Beatles was some pathetic Capitol Records reissue that was basically With the Beatles but with 5 songs taken out and newer ones added.

[kenkasegroup]

The idea that earlier albums are worth more than later ones is ridiculous. A mono Sgt. Pepper fetches a prettier penny than Meet the Beatles. She handles the vinyl like a gorilla. And, like a gorilla, she knows nothing about collecting Beatles records.

[eartant]

Yeah, if I saw her handling my records like that I'd say 'Hands OFF ! '

[coasttocoast7]

3-5 bucks?...chyea right

[marveldcstinger]

This is really painful too watch, At 0:44 look how she forces the record into the jacket and the ways she handling the record.

[Marshallsg]

@marveldcstinger Wow yeah. When I'm handling mine I go very slowly and easily. If it won't go in, I take it out and I try it again, no forcing it in.

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

That Rubber Soul would sell for $15 at the local record store by my house. and by the way, the cover isn't even in that good of condition...RingWear!

[Spirantho]

I am _not_ letting this woman anywhere near Beatles record collection - and that includes my 45s which "aren't worth much".

Just goes to show just because someone calls themself an expert doesn't mean they are one - this lady quite clearly has no idea (and BTW, Introducing The Beatles is the first album in the US and a first pressing is worth a lot more than MTB).

[CrisVangel]

Well she maybe exaggerates a bit and though there are some 45's worth thousands, the vast majority of them ain't worth much.. I was selling a group of four beatles 45's in decent condition recently and couldn't sell them for $2.00, opening bid! mid sixties titles.. sold love me do on original tollie for .99 cents!! this is today's world.

[AgentZero64]

your hurting them. your hurting the beatles.NNNNNNNN0000000

[iamthegreatest1234]

this lady looks like my first grade teacher, who i remember played us lullaby records.

or maybe its a subconscious connection. i dunno.

[rickenbacker12]

The first US album was

"Introducing The Beatles" released on Vee-Jay back in 1963.

HEY LADY!

I have a large collection of Anna Lee Dolls that belonged to my Mother who kept them in mint condition, and a ton of Beenie Babies I'll throw in for that Y&T Butcher album.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!

I'll toss in a complete 28 piece set of vintage Adams dishes, and McCoy mugs in mint condition. I wonder if that Y&T LP was borrowed since it didn't get mangled like that late press Rubber Soul album. You Cheat!

[rjkahlon]

?

The first album was Please Please Me, not Meet The Beatles

[czgibson]

Please Please me was the first in the UK; Meet the Beatles was the first in the US.

I agree that this woman's treatment of the record was shocking. If that Rubber Soul was in mint condition, it probably isn't now.

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

Introuducing The Beatles- First in U.S-63.

Please Please Me-First in U.K.-63.

[FabFM]

"45s not worth much" is such a general statement. Granted, "Hey Jude" is not worth much as it sold 20 million, but "Ask Me Why" on Vee Jay just sold on Ebay for $100.

Further more, the original pressing of Rubber Soul in Mint condition (never played copy) sold for $300.

[randycornhole]

She had her fingers all over the record, she has no idea how to handle vinyl!! Why is she even doing this video?

[mleeg45]

oh my god she top split the seam right in front of us!!!!!!!!!!

[LightMyFire92]

Her treatment of that album makes me want to cringe...

[FabFM]

What do you expect? She is deluded and thinks it's only worth $3! Granted it's not worth a fortune anyway... I can get a copy in VG for $16 or Ex for $35 as I know where to look; but the music on the record is priceless. This album is one of the greatest ever issued.

The said, some dealers get up to $100 for it.

[starkyringo909]

How much is I am the walrus 45 worth?

[FabFM]

$10

[starkyringo909]

Damn!

[FabFM]

Beatles albums are much more collectable than Elvis albums eh? Maybe really early albums by the beatles and limited editions, but the fact is most Beatles albums are not worth that much due to the high volume they sold (all were #1 on the charts for many weeks!). Presley's albums from the 50s and very early 60s are worth alot more than most beatles!

[LightMyFire92]

You could probably buy Elvis' bones with Yesterday And Today sealed in it's Butcher Cover.

[FabFM]

That's worth $30,000! Small fry compared to the one off acetate by the Beatles as the quarrymen in 1958 (value: $200,000) and Elvis' one off acetate of "My Happiness" in 1953 (Value: $500,000), or how about Elvis first guitar, bought for his birthday for less than $10 in the 1940s, the ultimate rock n roll artifact surely? Value: $1 million!

[Godlesspanther]

@FabFM Not any more. Check ebay. Beatles are selling higher than Elvis generally.

[FabFM]

@Godlesspanther Beatles are also selling for cheaper too... depends on the record... record value books wil show you that Presley is still the king!

[SgtplagIVIaIV]

Where do u look up the Pressing #

SUM1 send me a message telling me Please

[PhilmsMovies]

No dear, Please Please Me was Beatles First Album :)

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

No!

"Intoducing The Beatles"

[FabFM]

No! "Please Please Me" was the 1st album. It was issued in Britain in January 1963. "Introducing The Beatles" was later issued in the USA and was an edited version of it's British parent.

"Meet The Beatles" was issued as their 2nd American LP, but the first issued on Capitol and was similar to the already issued UK album "With The Beatles"!

[Motown65]

I agree who is this lady?????? She does not handle the records properly, and she really needs to do her research on collections. Some Beatles 45's go for big bucks.

[PsychedelicGuy]

Thank god there are real collectors out there who take the time to kow there music, and collectability, instead of people liek this, who know jack shit about records.

[JeffN727]

Looks like a mid 70's Capitol orange label pressing. Probably not worth as much as an original, but still good for listening, that is until she put her grubby paw prints all over the record.

[beatles5909]

um meet the beatles is not the first album. there were introducing the beatles, please please me and more on veejay and parlophone before meet the beatles. it was the first on capital. and 45s sometimes are worth more than 33s. vj, swan, tollie 45s ive seen worth a couple thousand dollrs and the picture sleeves worth even more.

[1987ian]

she rammed that record in the sleeve, and now its all crumpled.she could at least slid it in there gently!

[hendrixqwe]

man that shits hardly worth a dollar with

that water damage, plus the beatles

first album was called introducing the beatles

[beatleshrink]

The first Beatles album was "Meet the Beatles"? and Beatles "45's aren't worth much"? How about $3000 for the Beatles VJ498 single? Who IS this person?

[qwhg]

get your hands off the record!!

[jazzy2blue]

she knows shit!!!!! the beatles on parlophone yellow STEREO uk are very expensive!!SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO ESTIMATE AN ALBUM BY THE LABEL....

[aldiakaroofus]

"45s not worth much"?? No comment...

[ManuelHung]

Maybe the most inept handling of a record ever... get your goddamn fingers OFF THE VINYL!!

[hendrixqwe]

that record is worth about a dollar

its not even in good shape

[joemgeek]

This isn't the most informative thing I've ever seen on the subject...

More useful would be to just say that The Beatles sold millions of records, and unless they are a Butcher sleeve, or any other well documented mispressing or the like, they aren't worth diddly. Oh, and they're gonna be worth even less if you put your hands all over the grooves and bend the sleeve like that!0
