I also have Beatles '65, Something New, Meet The Beatles, Revolver, Rubber Soul...all of them still on the Capitol Label.
I remember being floored when the White Album [being a 'double album'] cost $6.98 when 1st released & thinking what an exhorbitant amount of $$$ that was.

I also own a bunch of their 45s & still being in the pictured sleeve. Been offered a lotta money for my collection, but I'm not in the market to sell such masterpieces. 1 last thought -- I think the way Side 2 of Abbey Road [which came out on their Apple Label] was coordinated...the way each song [from Mean Mr Mustard to The End] just flows into the next 1...is totally brilliant.

That's awesome, man. I would give anything to have lived through the 60's and have experienced all my favorite music as it was just being released. I really can't take too much of todays music but I could listen to the Beatles or Dylan all day. Perhaps that's part of why I enjoy the Love album so much, it's a breathe of fresh air yet it's been pulled off in a way that doesn't detract from the original material as one may think it easily could, but adds to it.I can't blame you for not wanting to sell that amazing collection, you can't put a price on such an awesome and integral part of the history of that time period. Not surprisingly, I agree with your Abbey Road comment, there are truly tons of things the Beatles have done which could be called "totally brilliant".
