ok, my bad, I did not know all these details. But like you say, it was released as an album at some point, it kinda became an album.  Damn, I'm not making much sense now.  |
Nah, I know what you mean. I guess it's an official album now but I can't bring myself to see it as such.

True, but it's a compilation album so shouldn't really count.

no, it's not a compilation.

Magical Mystery Tour. The dbl. 7" version. Then Revolver, then (most of) Sgt. Pepper's...........then Abbey Road, then forget it. Never a big fan of the Fab-Four, but credit where credit's due.

Revolver - Sgt Pepper - Rubber Soul. Only then Abbey Road & White Album, both of which have highlights but feel somewhat inconsistent overall to me.

I always preferred their later stuff and can only imagine how it must of been to have a Beat combo go from songs about holding hands to Sgt. Pepper!

Voted for Help as it kinda flies under the radar but should be rated more so than it is (imho - as if anyone thinks otherwise). Abbey Road would be a more likely contender for Beatles world champion album though. Revovler's not bad at all even if Got To Get You Into My Life is standout fantastic. White album would be best without the sloppy mess but the highlights are terrific.
Everything in stereo. Mono versions sound dreadful, very unnatural even if they are part of the UK catalogue.

2) Abbey Road
3) Revolver/Rubber Soul/ Sgt Pepper all tie.

Either Abbey Road or Let It Be, though I haven't listened to very much Beatles music lately.

That's what makes their music so fascinating. They can vary depending on your mood

Abbey Road - My parents had the album and I was exposed to it from a very early age. Still my favorite album

1. Let It Be
2. MMT
3. Hard Days Night
Let it Be has been my favorite for some years now. The order of the rest can vary for me.
