The beatles tell me why 458/25/2023 Collectors Weekly: What are the differences between the records?īarron: It’s not the song, that’s the same. People could afford 45s, it was about 49 cents to a dollar to buy one. ![]() ![]() With their popularity, they just had to get them out as quickly in huge quantities. The Beatles had by far the most variations, more than Elvis and The Beach Boys. Twist and Shout, for example, was released on Tollie Records, but there’s probably about 16 different label variations all produced within six months. That got me interested in collecting all the different labels. They started to make some adjustments and just winged it on getting different types of label variations. Some of these people were in such a rush to produce them that they didn’t go over all the proofs. I happened to come across another record that was the same song, same catalogue number, but it looked different. That’s why there are so many different variations of the record labels.

There was such a demand for 45s back then. There are so many different Beatles items like memorabilia and toys, I decided to focus on 45s and records. In junior high school I started to listen to them more and more and bought a couple albums here and there. I was born in 1964, so I wasn’t there when it was all going on, but when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I remember my older brothers and sisters listening to them on the radio. Then I realized I was missing some Beatles records, so I thought it’d be nice to finish out my collection, and started to search for more pieces for my collection. I had a couple of more Beatles 45s and albums, and I did a little research on the internet and found out they were worth some money. I went to make sure I still had it, and it was similar and still in excellent condition. My sister had given me a Beatles 45 picture sleeve when I was quite young. We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper: Released December 6, 1965Ībout 12 years ago a coworker told me that they saw a picture sleeve on eBay from The Beatles selling for 500 dollars.
