For me, the Indian Beatles records are the coolest collectibles of them all. Thank you for talking about them again and letting us hear this one!

I once was considering the purchase of a CD compilation of some extremely rare American blues 78s from the 1920s. The website allowed comments and a disgruntled customer was very upset that they "hadn’t gone back to the master tapes". I guess he didn’t understand that back then there was a room, a man, a guitar, one mic and the sound went directly to the disc cutting machine. And 90-100 year old 78s rescued from obscurity are scratchy and noisy. At least the Beatles 78s were created from some source that originated from well-recorded sessions in wonderful studios and engineers.

His T-Shirt: "The Analogues". They are the quintessential Beatles tribute band, absolutely phenomenal.

"The band The Beatles were a 20th Century phenomenon that released music for media devices spanning from wind up gramophones all the way through to digital streaming services." You heard it from Parlogram first.
@jtlynn23
Amazing to hear those rare 78s! It would be interesting to see which other artists released 78s-- I've heard the Rolling Stones did as well. Thanks for another great video, Andrew!
@johnbiles419
Wow. I never thought I would get to hear an Indian Beatles 78. That was very cool and thank you so much.
@davidsacco8521
It's wonderful to be able to live vicariously through these videos!

This was a better source of the original mix than what was used on the stereo remix last year. The snippets you played are good for something over sixty years old. His collection of vintage players are outstanding. As a gear head I loved this episode.
@darrenkrivit6854
That tour alone was amazing! Really enjoyed seeing the vintage equipment in pristine condition ✌️
@MattMonro
It wasn't just India. We at the Matt Monro Estate have some Philippines 78's of Matt's dating from 1965. I would assume they issued Beatles ones too.

If you are looking for a modern solution to play 78s, this is my setup: Audio Technica AT-LP140XP turntable, with a Audio Technica VM95 SP/H 78 (3 mil) cartridge. My vintage 70's preamp (Apt Corporation Holman Preamplifier) handles mono duties, no extra cables needed like Andrew showed. Check your preamp for a mono switch first. I've been picking up 78s at thrift stores when I see them, and the sound quality on some are shockingly good! As long as they haven't been destroyed by an actual Victrola with that heavy steel needle, one can really get into the microphone placement, room acoustics - and hear how the recording was put together.

Wow! It's great to see vintage 78's still being played. I've not used one for decades.
@JWD1992
Beyond cool. I really love to see 78s played on high-end equipment to show off what they are capable of. And Erich is winning—no, has WON—life, by the way. The fact that he has multiple turntables up to this task and a great tape machine to make a safety copy is all the proof you need. And let's not forget about the Mellotrons!
@Leicaphile27
Being able to hear the Beatles 78s from India is an incredible experience, along with all the interesting information and turntable tour. Thanks for this...much appreciated!
@dimebagdave77
So very cool, RARE and interesting.. many thanks as always Andrew and Eric!!✌️🤘
@riccardociofi3162
Yes, I enjoyed it very much; I didn’t believe there was such a thing as Beatles 78’s. Thanks to you and Erich 😊
@nicknikipediacaulkin5943
Interesting that the publication date on the Indian Love Me Do says 1964! Erich has a fascinating vintage record collection so thanks for sharing, Andrew!
@indiana2096
My brother said to me just today, "you learn something new every day"! I had no idea that The Beatles existed on 78rpm. I just remember my mother had a collection of 78rpm records, they were from the 40s, early 50s and about as far away from rock n roll as you could get! Thanks for sharing a great bit of history, very interesting!
@SoulmateParis
My first set up 60 years ago was a turntable connected to a mono tube amplifier. Sounded great!
