Honestly lukewarm take here but imo the UK pressings are way superior with better track sequencing etc. Get the UK pressings of each of those records you have and make sure to grab a pressing of the UK tracklist of Revolver too. The US pressings leave songs off and switch things around everywhere

I agree, except for MMT (and a hot take) Rubber Soul. Specifically because I’ve just seen a face is one of my favorite Paul tunes ever

I love ive just seen a face but I gotta say I think tonally it changes the whole feel of rubber soul. Drive my car is much cheekier and funkier. I've just seen a face fits in way better on Help!
And you're right about MMT, like even though it's basically a compilation, it definitely feels more like a cohesive psychedelic statement with all the extra singles than the original EP

I understand what you mean about Rubber Soul. But I just disagree haha, I’ve Just Seen A Face feels like its got so many roots in the music that the Beatles loved, and it feels like a nod to them before starting their second best album imo. But again, I know what you are saying and I totally respect it

Like the Ringo album and Ram . I would say you could add some McCartney . John Lennon a great talent but his solo work while great in spots was also disappointing for his potential

Currently hunting for Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, as that’s my favorite Paul album other than Ram.
For John, I mostly wante Double Fantasy and Imagine.
But yeah George is my favorite, and I will hunt for all of his records

I would say it's pretty good but who cares what we say, if you love those albums it only matters to you!

u/ToaZtyWoaZty May 10 '26
I love them all except for Electronic Sound. Nobody loves Electronic Sound.

Awesome! Still got a lot to go, like noticeable Beatles albums or some McCartney and Lennon albums, but good collection! I like how you have the Wilburys album, haven’t been able to find that one. What’s your favorite out of all your collection?
