[toocheaptobuyatripod]

At a thrift store? THRIFT STORE??!!!

[greekbeatle]

the vee-jay record is fake...the original was gatefold....where the butcher is???..if you are not have the butcher cover you have ...nothing..

[6arcsn1sky]

The Vee Jay Records was the first gramophone that I heard the Beatles in vinyl.

[kingsergio128]

that sgt pepper picture disc is VERY VERY VERY RARE!!!

[1SPYRO]

U lucky son of a bitch! I can't even find those! With The Beatles is impossible for me to find, and you get it like that! Damn you are lucky. And I love that album :(

[JOHNNYcannabisSEED]

Evansville Indiana?????!!

[samurray5]

Killer Score Matt !! I'm waiting for Hollywood Bowl & Beatles Story on Capitol to be released on CD. White on White !!!!!! Let me know if you find those anywhere :)

[MattHawes]

[charliedontsurf70]

@samurray5 hi-the beatles story and live at the hollywood bowl are on youtube in segments.very nice additions.

[TheBeatlesFan1100]

That white album is rare, the white vinyl is the rarest version of the white album

[khtyson1]

matt I wish I had a friend like that as a lifeling fan of the beatles I pretty impressed strickly on the basis of of what you showed here. keep collectiing

[severussnapeee]

I have almost every Beatle album made in the U.S but I have to say I am jealous.

The Hollywood Bowl record is probably worth a lot!

If I'd find those at a Goodwell, I would maybe die XD.

[FallenStar117]

what is this collection worth?

[MattHawes]

I haven't had it appraised.

-- Matt

[athakirch77]

The White Album portrait pictures are mirror images of the original pictures...!!!! Did you notice that?

[KillerVocals77]

DAMN!!!!!!!! how much was each album at that Goodwill

The one i live buy it's 50cents a record

Thats what i love about good will and yard sales. you can find some of the rarest tresures for under a buck. AMAZING FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kelhard]

Awesome score.....many rarities. A small fortune there :-)

[Beatlefanone]

"Songs & Pictures of The Fabulous Beatles" is actually counterfeit. I have a copy of the same album. I was reading an article and came to discover that the real version is titled, "Songs, Pictures, & Stories of The Fabulous Beatles". It is still a great album!

[deadboyrunning]

could u check mine out!

[Beatlefanone]

I have both editions of The Beatles featuring Tony Sheridan! =]

[nolanbarbone]

thats an awesome collection

[MikeyNL1038]

Wow... this is a very nice collection you have there!

the LP that says

The Beatles

De Mooiste is indeed from holland. it's rare!

Picture disk Sgt Pepper... very nice

you are VERY lucky with such a friend! :- )

paul is dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him.

all together now - i buried paul

number 9 - turn me on dead man

[SgtplagIVIaIV]

u fucking scored Big Time!

lucky ass

[MattHawes]

Thanks!

-- Matt

[Beatlefanone]

Check out my collection

[MattHawes]

I went and did just that! You have great stuff!

-- Matt

[Beatlefanone]

Thanks you have an awesome collection yourself!

--Trevor

[kcrock585]

and mine

[revolution1940]

I will buy them off you for $1000.00, they are absolutely amazing.

[MattHawes]

I'm glad you enjoy them, but I don't want to part with them.

-- Matt

[aldiakaroofus]

Damn! I got so jealous watching this vid that I got sick to my stomach!! You lucky S.O.B.! I hate you so much!! :D Seriously, you're extremely lucky because usually people who work at goodwill check the donations and keep the good stuff for themselves, so your friend was very lucky to find them! Some are worth in the 3 digits (especially the white album on Apple). The whole stack must be worth well over $500! Congrats! If you have time, check out my Beatles colored record video. :)

[MattHawes]

Thanks! I will surprized that the records made it out to the sales floor, too. My friend who shops regularly at the different thrift shops in town tells me that the employees are supposed to put the merchandise out on the floor before they can claim anything. He just got there at the right time, apparently.

-- Matt

[aldiakaroofus]

Wow, I wish we could have such honest goodwill stores in my area!!!

[winstonoboogie9]

Hey Matt, let me know if you want to sell those records, I'll buy them !! Thanks.

Steve

[MattHawes]

Thanks for the offer, Steve, but I plan to keep them.

-- Matt

[lazyfreddy]

the only thing i can guess of how they ended it proboly ended up in good will is becouse an old couple lived together for many years.the husband died and the wive got rid of all his stuff so she would not moan at it every time she looked at it...but thats my guess

[MattHawes]

It's as good a guess as any. Thanks for the comment!

-- Matt

[luvdabun]

what a nice friend. What a treasure he found.. You are one lucky guy Matt. Bun waving Hi

bunnies rule!

[MattHawes]

Thank you, Luvdabun!

-- Matt

[nanciesweb]

We need a goodwill here. We do have the salvation army, though. Not usually a good place to shop, though.

The only other way to find "treasure" here is to check out the yard sales.

[MattHawes]

It's almost yard sale season here, as Spring is coming. Yay!!

-- Matt

[surfer411]

lucky ass hole! those kick ass and they (especially the pic discs) are definitely worth something.

[MattHawes]

Thanks! They are cool albums!

-- Matt

[battlebauble]

Those things are in mint condition! I got to wonder what the untold story is here. Why on earth did someone part with this? What chain of events occured here? Did someone die and some dolt had no idea of what a tresure they gave away? LOL! What a mystery!

[MattHawes]

It sure is. My pal and I figured that the original owner might've been in the service, since the albums come from all around the world. I wondered about who would just give away the records to Goodwill, too. Thanks, Darl!

-- Matt

[ToobNation1]

Thanks for sharing those cool "The Beatles" albums with us Matt. I have a lot of their music on my iPod and listened to a few tracks on my way to work just the other day. Yeah, sleeve art is something you don't get anymore with CDs which is kinda sad.

- Norman

[MattHawes]

Thanks for the comments, Norman! One day I will show off some of my other albums I own.

-- Matt

[eliotsmom]

Hooray, thats what friends are for.

[MattHawes]

Thank you, Doris!

-- Matt

[dabiribd]

happy early birthday Matt. awesome collection

[MattHawes]

Thanks, Ben! Yeah, my friend gave me a really early birthday gift as my birthday isn't until July. LOL!

-- Matt

[OckGal]

Awesome! I love the Hollywood Bowl album! My mom borrowed a lot of records from someone years ago and taped them all for me. I don't have many on CD, but got a lot at the flea market. I miss those old record stores, too. Ones that had stuff you had never seen other places before. I used to get to go get a record every time I went to the dentist, hehe! I used to buy albums based on the photos they had and sit them up around my room, lol!

[MattHawes]

I miss the old record stores, too. They really had a different feel then music stores do these days. Thanks for commenting, Lisa!

-- Matt

[Wyrdmaven]

Thanks for sharing.

goo goo ga'joob

[MattHawes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da!

-- Matt

[moomay11649]

Cool beans!

[MattHawes]

Thanks!

-- Matt

[komikero]

Hey Matt... are you home in that vid? Hot damn, Matt! I'm dying with envy here! That's an awesome collection of records!

[MattHawes]

Thanks, Gerry! Yep, I filmed it at my home.

-- Matt

[OhCurt]

Ah the days of sleeve art.

...heavy sigh...

That's an awesome haul, and a damn nice present! All this takes me back to when I was younger and still collecting the early albums by Heart, Queen and ABBA. I LIVED for the sleeve art!

[MattHawes]

It's almost a forgotten art, at that! I miss the old record shops that had walls covered with.. well, covers! YayY!! Thanks, Curt!

-- Matt

[katylied66]

How cool is that!!

Your friend made an excellent find in those!!

Yay!!!!

Dianne

[MattHawes]

Thanks, Dianne! I still can't believe his luck (and mine)! Yayyy!!!

-- Matt

[OctoberRoad]

Matt, we feel it's only fair to inform you that our very own Shane is the biggest male Beatles fan we know. Miranda takes the female honors.

[MattHawes]

It's always cool to know there are more fans out there! Thanks!

-- Matt

[TerryT1976]

Great collection. I'm into vinyl records, myself.

[MattHawes]

There's definitely something about them. Thanks for the comment!

-- Matt

[gregoakes]

wow that was great!! what a find... what a friend! ;) gotta love those imports especially with the wicked artwork, and those picture discs are super cool as well! thanks for sharing matt! :)

[MattHawes]

Thank you for watching and commenting! It is appreciated!

-- Matt

[ovationceleb]

I'm sure Paul McCartney doesn't have these. He's got an account on YouTube... Ask him to make you an offer. B-)

[MattHawes]

LOL! I wonder if he would have any interest. Heh. I am actually subscribed to Paul's channel. Thanks, Ovation!

-- Matt

[baybea]

are you planning on playing them or just want them as a collection? What a nice friend you have!

[MattHawes]

He sure is! I plan on playing the albums to make sure they all play properly, but I already have CDs of all the Beatles released music expect the Hollywood Bowl LP. I like keeping the albums for the cover art and extra stuff like posters, though. Thanks, Bay!

-- Matt

[psychospeakempire]

wow, I loved this vid. I have a few of those. Excellent score!! You're a lucky guy Matt.

Paul

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much, Paul!

-- Matt

[anakin1814]

Damn!!! That is a TOTAL score!!! I can't believe how good of shape all that stuff is. The White Album? With all those original posters in there? AMAZING!! I never knew that one was white vinyl. WOW! I'm SOOO Jealous!! I will up the ante and give you $11 for them all ! LOL Really cool vid Matt. The Beatles are EVERYWHERE!

[MattHawes]

The white vinyl was done for a 1978 reissue of the albums. They're pretty hard to find. The Beatles are indeed everywhere. :-)

About the offer: Still very tempting, but I will have to hang onto the albums. ;-)

Thanks, Gary! Yayy!!

-- Matt

[MattHawes]

On a turntable, natch! I have always made sure to keep a stereo with a turntable over the years. Thanks, Larry!

-- Matt

[1insertbandnamehere1]

Awesome! i really love the beatles. i just got a huge book of beatles sheet music and ive been playing it non stop

[MattHawes]

That's cool! I wish I could play music. Thanks for commenting!

-- Matt

[LOLUK]

You are SO LUCKY to have these, especially Sgt. Pepper and the White Album! Enjoy!

[MattHawes]

Thank you! I am happy to have the albums. In fact, I listened to the two albums you mentioned last night. :-)

-- Matt

[anmoose]

That's quite a find, Matt! And I'm certain that some of them were never released in the U.S. You definitely have some collectibles on your hands.

I have all of their original albums, bought new, when they were released. Of course, some of them have been played to death over the past 40+ years, but I've always been a fanatic about record care, so they still play pretty well for old vinyl.

I never got much into "Best of" albums, since I already had everything that was on them.

Moosie

[MattHawes]

I don't normally bother with the "Best of" collections, either, but since they were a part of the collection I gladly accepted them. I own all the officially released albums on CD, but it is cool to get the picture discs, album art and photos, and the like. I was telling my friend it would've been especially cool if he had happened across the infamous "Butcher cover."

Thanks for the comments!

-- Matt

[Pookieftw]

Sweet collection. Whomever had those before they went to the Goodwill took really good care of them. I have a few select records around here, somewhere.

[MattHawes]

Hi Pookie! My pal and I figured that the original owner must've been in the service as the album pressings were from several countries.

-- Matt

[slorge]

miss him, miss him, miss him....Paul is dead.

[MattHawes]

LOL! I was wondering if someone would pick up on that. Heh.

-- Matt

[InvaderGill]

that's some cool records you got!

[MattHawes]

Thanks, Ryan!

-- Matt

[slorge]

you hit the Beatles lottery, bud! Looks like it's all in real good shape, too! Nice find!

[MattHawes]

Thanks, Slorge! I was excited when my friend brought them to me. Yay!!

-- Matt

[ghostbusterguy2001]

woo woo woo good omg that is some good find i tell ya what you never know what you might find i got my atari from goodwill woopie your awsome and your friend must be super awsome

[MattHawes]

He can be really cool at times! Thanks, Jeremy!

-- Matt

[CountryComesToTown]

Very cool find Matt! All the huge Beatles fans on here will be amazed and a bit jealous. LOL -Jim

[MattHawes]

Thanks, Jim! I still can't believe my friend lucked onto that batch at a Goodwill. He was really cool to just give them to me, too.

-- Matt

[MarciusWhithood]

Oh, wow...The Beatles are one of my most favorite bands of all time. I consider you to be quite lucky to have these outstanding records. :) Enjoy! :D Oh, what's your favorite song by them?  Mine is "Blackbird." It's so peaceful and tranquil and very inspiring to its listener...

[MattHawes]

"I Am The Walrus," "Strawberry Fields," and "She's Leaving Home" are among my favorites. It's hard for me to narrow things down to one song, though. Thanks for commenting!

-- Matt

[kateam1975]

that awesome: ) good stuff

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much, Kate!

-- Matt

[mikma]

MIKMA WAS HERE

[MattHawes]

Hi Mikma! YAY!!

-- Matt

[canadianstudmuffin]

Awesome! I'd love to get the Beatles Let It Be with the book. My brother had that....back in 1970. :P

By the way, I just did a video with Brian Ray (Paul McCartney's guitarist) Check out "George Bush Farewell Song" if you get the chance. Brian is a great guy. Beatles are the best band of all time!!! Very nice collection. Do you have "Very Together"...Canadian Polydor Records album with four candles on the cover...one burnt out.

[MattHawes]

Hi! No, I don't have that album, yet. I'll check out the vids you mentioned! Thanks for commenting!

-- Matt

[dxrip619]

sweet awsome i like the beatles.. The Beatles Are Awsome

There The Best!

[MattHawes]

Thank you, DXRIP!

-- Matt

[Finnishiam]

Well, good for you.

Beatles IS a pretty good band.

I prefer Elvis though.

[MattHawes]

I like Elvis, too. I don't have any of his albums, though. Thanks for the comment!

-- Matt

[KyranTV]

I couldn't help but wonder how much they could be worth giving the great condition - but nevertheless a great collection!

[MattHawes]

I was wondering about the value, too. Not that I plan on selling them, though. I'm just curious about a few, like the White Album with the white vinyl discs. Thanks for commenting, Kyran!

-- Matt

[pol1407a]

the beatles freaking rock as do you matt

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words!

-- Matt
