Hello.

I am collecting the CD versions of the original LP-records that The Beatles released in the UK while still playing together. I cannot find any place that sell this album (Oldies but goldies) anywhere. Is this album for sale on CD any where? Does it excist on CD? Where can I purchase it? Every web site I have checked seem to miss out this one album. Please help me, help me, help me.

I don't think so, being as it was just one of many greatest hits albumns (admittedly with the Bad Boy bonus track) released during Beatlemania.
But there are others on this site with knowledge far greater than mine, so I might be wrong though.
Good luck. (I did have the original vinyl.)

I dont think 'Oldies But Goodies' was ever issued on CD (even bootlegs for that matter but i'm probably wrong).

Why so pedantically
take A Hard Day's Night,Help!,Rubber Soul and Revolver and Past Masters 1 und 2 and you

I would like to get this album because it was released while The Beatles were still playing together. And it seems as if it is not just an ordinary "greatest hits-record", it seems to be the first time that some of the early hit singles were includen on an album. And it is kind of a collectors thing for me.

Only 'Bad Boy' and that was already released in america, just not england. The first Beatle album not to go to #1 over their too I believe.

This lp was not released on cd, nor has there been a version bootlegged.

I really think this album should be produced and sold, so one could get all the albums in CD format that was released while The Beatles were playing together. There is, as most of you will know, 14 (UK) albums, starting with Please Please Me to Let It Be.

Strange that this album, Oldies but Goldies, has not been released as The Beatles were such a popular group, and there's bound to be several collectors apart from me wanting to get the original albums on CD as a collectors item.

wait  maybe in the next Capitol Box

how long until next capitol box?

[RICKENBACKER325]

It was not a Capitol release. So it wont be in the next Capitol box set. This Lp a Parlaphone release, so it was released in countries like the Uk, Austraila, South Africa, Even Canada But not the US. Sorry. :-/

On CD only as a Bootleg

Ive always loved the artwork on Collection of Beatles Oldies (But Goldies)

You'd be better off printing the sleeve yourself then burning your own CD.
In the sixties only rich fans could buy a whole album just for one new song (even for the Beatles).
And the fans already had all the singles obviously.
It was also a strange mixture with Hand following Eleanor Rigby!
Michelle and Yesterday weren't singles in England so why include them and not others?
And Please Please Me wasn't even on there (though at the time it was considered a bona fide number one).
It wasn't thought of as an essential album even then.
In the UK it got to number seven.

it concerns to it collecting

Any of you folk out there know what an LP retailed for in the UK at the time? (I've trawled the net and it's doing myF***ing head in)

And-the back sleeve. Looks to me like the lads are having bit of session (Paul looks off his nut). Pretty cool for 66/67.

I think a single was about six shillings and an LP about thirty shillings but I'm really not too sure.
