The Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Collection
Following on from the global success of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beatles (White Album), Apple Corps and USM are proud to present the next multi-format Beatles album reissue of Abbey Road to celebrate the iconic albums 50th anniversary.

In personal terms between the group, Abbey Road may have marked the beginning of the end but in creative terms it kept pace with the rest of the bands' -by now - classic back catalogue. Having outgrown, to some degree, the shackles of psychedelia, the Beatles began writing music that pointed to a future which they would, as an single recording entity, would have no part in. Come Together, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, and plenty of now legendary cuts on this iconic record.

      I dunno, I hadn't heard of that Paul McCartney guy until Kanye made him famous

    • Apparently the kids like it.

    If I was getting into board games vinyls (which I'm not, to be honest) - I'd definitely be looking for the cheaper options.

    Paying $30 or $50 for a board game vinyl seems very expensive to me.

      You never give me your money, you only give me your situation!

      30 bucks is a bargain for vinyl

      Suppose you never bought CDs for the standard price of $30-35 either.

        i lived through the transition of records to CDs ….not sure why people would go back to vinyl …had to have cleaning brushes, eventually you’d get pops while playing i’d record was dirty, had to clean stylus …… CDs are great sound quality ….more so than MP3 ….

          Digital is too easy. Add nostalgia, FOMO and marketing.

          I'm with you.

          All this rubbish about 'but it sounds better' etc.

          Afte buying a decent record player, a diamond tip stylus that will require replacement over and over, a record cleaner so you don't damage the stylus and have the record jump or damaged, a box or shelf to store the large records that are capable of being damaged (lost my collection in a flood), etc..

          And then you can only listen to them when you're near your record player.

          When I was young, the only advantage of a record of other formats was that you could copy it onto a device that was more portable (à cassette), and if the cassette gît damaged you could make another copy.

          • @FredAstair: *"a diamond tip stylus that will require replacement over and over"+

            You've replaced a few have you?

            My current stylus has clocked up 1100 hrs and it's going well and it's the renowned Denon 103R an icon from the 60's, they've never changed it and it'll go for a very long time if your TT is set up correctly.

            And then you can only listen to them when you're near your record player.

            You're taking the p right?
            Only listen to them when your near your TT…seriously?

            Ever heard of Yamaha's Musiccast TT's, they'll stream your vinyl to your ph, to your smart ,to your smart speaker or active speaker and that's just one brand, there are more who also do this.

            If you want to burn your vinyl to a digital format then that's also an easy fix but very few vinyl lovers would bother, they have vinyl because it's an analogue format that just lends itself to easy listening at home and yes it's a warm sound compared to digital playback.

            • @Luc:

              You've replaced a few have you?

              Actually, yes I have.

              Ever heard of Yamaha's Musiccast TT's, they'll stream your vinyl to your ph, to your smart ,to your smart speaker or active speaker and that's just one brand, there are more who also do this.

              No I hadn't actually, but then the quality people think they're getting from the record is lost, isn't it,

              it's an analogue format that just lends itself to easy listening at home and yes it's a warm sound compared to digital playback.

              now I'll ask you if you're taking the piss.
              Warm sound. Most people wouldn't even notice the differwnce.
              Most people can even pick up the speed change of a song within a few Bpm.
              Next you'll be telling me that paperbacks are better than a kobo, etc..
              Becuaee you can sit in your lounge and the pages give you a soft feel.

              Seriously. Keep on buying you're antiquated vinyls, and I'll enjoy all the amazing benefits of a properly recorded digital version I can enjoy anywhere any time instead of sitting in my lounge feeling superior.

              • @FredAstair: Look at this way Sherlock. You said this>>> And then you can only listen to them when you're near your record player.
                So I mentioned this>> Ever heard of Yamaha's Musiccast TT's, they'll stream your vinyl to your ph, to your smart ,to your smart speaker or active speaker and that's just one brand, there are more who also do this. Which means you can listen to your vinyl in another room if you wish, our daughter does this way go figure but she likes the ease.

                Plenty of people do actually notice the difference with a full tube system but…your welcome to think different.

                As for your page/book analogy I'm not sure what your attempting there but each to his own.

                • @Luc: Most people would think twice before replying with emotion.
                  But hey

                  Plenty of people do actually

                  Do

      1. *vinyl
      2. *a record, or just *vinyl (minus the 'a')
    • I'm unsure if this is a troll, you don't really know about the current vinyl resurgence or you're actually just suggesting to not get into vinyl.

      The cheapest new vinyl are typically around $20 and a double LP is up to around $100 or so.

      You really want to look into what you're buying, you don't want to just buy albums as especially new can be hit and miss.

      Supply and demand unfortunately.

        I would have thought crossing out board games would make it fairly obvious that something else was at play here, but apparently not.

        OP made the same useless and ignorant comment on another post, so I was returning the favour.

    US import. I've had too many records arrive in bad shape (warped and damaged covers) from Amazon US, would much prefer to go through amazon Australia.

    • Did you raise the issue? How did amazon handle it?

      • Happened to me twice; first time they let me keep it, second time I was asked to return it.

      • +1

        I've returned a few and kept some with credit. A couple have been so warped they won't play. Packaging has been a real issue, most not in rigid packaging and they look like they've been thrown around and crunched. Not sure what happens when they're in shipping, but I suspect they're also exposed to sun/high temps.

    • +3

      Do the US ones have to be spun in the other direction?

    • I've not had too many that were warped, I've mainly had bad US pressings arrive.

  • I’ve got stacks of 80s vinyl.
    Do you reckon they’ll be worth much now ? Or hang on to them ?

    • +2

      Worth a pittance, I’ll take off your hands for $3 a piece no questions asked!

    • Catalog them into discogs and that'll tell you what they're worth too. Might have some gold in there.

      • Catalogue them into Discogs certainly but Discogs is only as good as the person advertising or seeking a price.
        Grading of your records is what the problem is with almost anything you buy or think about buying from DGs.
        One person's grading of VG+ or NM is another person scratched and bacon frying noise record.
        *Gold is very rare.

        *Most used records from a collection that's just been played and not really looked after is bargain basement stuff and most serious collectors wouldn't give it a second glance, specially with all the popular albums going through the resurgent popularity of 180/200 gram reissues. They buy those.

    • Will PM you - if they're good condition they may be worth a bit.

  • Superb album! Eternal Classic! 50+ years on and still a must, and must buy!
