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.)
Why so pedantically take A Hard Day's Night,Help!,Rubber Soul and Revolver and Past Masters 1 und 2 and you have this Album
She Loves You Lennon/McCartney From Me To You Lennon/McCartney We Can Work It Out Lennon/McCartney Help! Lennon/McCartney Michelle Lennon/McCartney Yesterday Lennon/McCartney I Feel Fine Lennon/McCartney Yellow Submarine Lennon/McCartney
Can't Buy Me Love Lennon/McCartney Bad Boy Lennon/McCartney Day Tripper Lennon/McCartney A Hard Day's Night Lennon/McCartney Ticket To Ride Lennon/McCartney Paperback Writer Lennon/McCartney Eleanor Rigby Lennon/McCartney I Want To Hold Your Hand Lennon/McCartney
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.
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.
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.
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.
