1962 - 1966: The Red Album Vinyl 2LP - The Beatles

We are aware of a few odd variations on Beatles colored vinyl albums that have turned up over the years. Occasionally, copies of any album that should be a single color will appear with a mixture of colors; this often happens when the pressing plant is changing from one color to another.The Beatles 1962-1966 (EMI/Odeon 302-0088/89) 2 LP set on red vinyl, probably from 1978. It’s likely that there was a blue vinyl pressing of The Beatles 1967-1970 set from Ecuador, as well, but we cannot confirm this. Netherlands This purple vinyl pressing of The Beatles Greatest from the Netherlands is quite hard to find.

For the 1986 series, a limited number of box sets (estimated at 1000 copies) were issued titled “The Beatles Original Mono Record Box.” These box sets contained all ten of the albums listed above with no additional content. All ten records were pressed on red vinyl. Beatles VI (Apple AP-80035) Despite being released in the U.S. in 1965, Beatles VI wasn’t released in Japan until 1970. This LP had a white obi with a green die-cut Apple. The red vinyl pressing was very limited, and this title is one of the hardest Japanese Beatles LPs to find on red vinyl. Something New (Apple AP-80083) Despite being released in the U.S. in 1964, Something New wasn’t released in Japan until 1970. This LP had a white obi with a green die-cut Apple.The Beatles (aka “The White Album”) (Parlophone PCSO 7068) A translucent white vinyl pressing, issued in 1987. While most of the variations are well known and documented, putting together a comprehensive list of all of the Beatles colored vinyl albums from Japan is difficult and perhaps impossible.

The Beatles: 1962 – 1966 (2023 Edition) [The Red Album] 2CD

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Odeon EAS-70137) Red vinyl 1982 issue. Reissued in 1986 with same number and different obi. We’ve counted close to 30 different albums by the Beatles that have been released commercially on one or more colors of vinyl. Some of them are relatively common, and others are rare to the point where you’ll likely never see one, let alone own one. Yellow Submarine (Apple 724352 14811 0A) 1999 yellow vinyl release with different cover from previous releases of the album. Issued to coincide with the release of Yellow Submarine on home video. Most of them, however, are common enough and affordable enough that anyone with more than a passing interest in the Beatles might want to own one or more of them. People collect records for all kinds of reasons and different collectors are drawn to collecting different types of records. Sometimes, however, these diverse interests can intersect.The Early Beatles (Apple AP-80034) Despite being released in the U.S. in 1965, The Early Beatles wasn’t released in Japan until 1970. This LP had a white obi with a green die-cut Apple. Meet the Beatles– (Odeon OR-7041 mono) Originally issued in April, 1964 with a white obi with blue print that draped over the cover but did not wrap around it completely. This album was issued again in 1966 with a blue obi with a white triangle at the top, in 1967 with a green obi with an Odeon logo, and once more in 1970 with the same green obi, this time with an Apple logo and a new catalog number (AR-8026)While all copies are hard to find, especially with the obi, the first issue, with the hankake obi, or “half obi,” is exceptionally rare. Help! (Odeon OP-7240 stereo) The original September, 1965 issue has the blue obi with the half circle at the top. This title was reissued in 1967 on red vinyl with a green obi (Odeon) and in 1969 with a green obi (Apple) with a different catalog number (AP-8151) We’ve seen a few Beatles colored vinyl albums from Brazil in recent years, such as a blue vinyl or white vinyl pressing of Revolver, and a white vinyl pressing of Let It Be, but as far as we know, these are all unauthorized pressings.
