Listened to "Let It Be" album last night. Right now, "Hey Jude."

I have an ancient 45rpm version of "Let It Be" which includes the song "You Know My Name, Look Up The Number" as side B and I have not yet purchased the "Rarities" set.
I want to hear this song, but I do not want to subject my six hundred dollar newly replaced stylus to an old 45 record, just yet.
All I have to hear it is Spotify. It helps, but not enough.

Handle that 45 with care.

I had completely forgotten about these guys.
Hilarious!
They remind me of another unknown band I used to work with called, Mirrors. They were not just Beatles style impersonators, though. They could do any band quite well.

The Ruttles were brilliant but very short-lived. They were quite unique.

There's been quite a few Beatles cover bands, though, some of them quite good. I particularly remember a Swedish one called Lenny Pane that I had the good fortune to listen to live in 1992. They went on to win a couple of prizes and were really good.

I do and I actually have five copies of that record from the sixties. I had realized that the mix or something was different and I wanted to "collect" things that seemed different to me, even as a teen. I have not played any of them since around 1973. That is when I first moved out of my parents house and I "lost" my turntable adapter for 45s during that move.

I only have about three hundred 45s, but I do not think I have bought any during my adult life other than specialized LPs which have been remastered and re-released on heavy vinyl for audiophile interests. The seven inch 45s are all from the sixties and hardly ever played, except for a few, like "Satisfaction," " Magic Carpet Ride," "Born To Be Wild," "Get Back," "Purple Haze" and on and on. The original 45 release of "Revolution" as you know is quite different from the album version as well. I have four of those, but one is a bit worn.

Thanks for the heads up, but I tend to handle all my vinyl with extreme care. Learned that early on.

I suspected you'd treat the 45s with great respect anyway. :)

I've got many of the original Beatles 45s as part of my Beatles collection. Haven't played them for years as my record player isn't up to snuff - I need to get a new one some day.

I've been listening to Hans Zimmer soundtracks a lot lately.

I had The Beatles White Album until someone stole it in Uni. I'm still mad about it and it's been 25 years. :thumbdn: :laugh:

I liked them back in the day.
