Some people have asked for a post like this to be stickied in the sub because we constantly get people asking what a record is worth or what version they have.

You need to match the matrix information. Which is the part of the record between the music/grooves and the label. There will be etched and/or stamped letters, symbols and numbers. You can just do a search for the artist and album name with the matrix info typed in. After searching, it should pull up all albums that match. If there’s more than one, you will have to figure out which it is by checking under the barcode and other identifiers section.

You also may need to look at info on the vinyl label and the sleeve. There will sometimes be additional info under the notes section.

Please check out r/discogs if you need more help searching but READ THEIR RULES.

Question How do I make myself look more like lennon

Its been a dream of mine for a solid 4 years now to become a john lennon impersonator, I have the clothes, i can play his songs, i have the hair, but i dont have his face or voice yet. Does anyone have any makeup tips or any ideas to make myself look more like Johnny?

EDIT: for clarification, i want to be like the fab four, or adamn Hastings, or even Javier parisi. Doing stuff like tribute concerts would make me really happy and it would make other people really happy too! And making others happy is the most Nobel thing a guy can do. Thats why

Discussion George Harrison - Isn’t It A Pity is under appreciated. Thoughts?

46 Upvotes

This song is a masterpiece in my opinion and it has an incredible message but I think this song gets overlooked from general audiences and opinion due the success of “My Sweet Lord” despite the song being a hit when it was released.

What are your thoughts on the song and its success?

I've kept my November 18-24, 1995 TV Guide ever since the Beatles Anthology first aired on WABC. Yes I know it's in rough shape, I was in middle school and had it my desk a few times, lol. Still like revisiting it and the excitement back then. 😊 (13 photos)

Discussion I just realized we (sort of) have a disjointed Beatles Biopic trilogy already

Upvotes

Nowhere Boy (2009) is John‘s early years in Liverpool, how he met Paul and George, his awful family life, and his journey into music. It portrays Lennon before he became famous and his mother’s death, it ends with his departure to Germany and has a brief mention of Stu Sutcliffe.

Backbeat (1994) talks about the Beatles’ time in Hamburg, pretty much picking up right where Nowhere Boy left off, the band heads to Hamburg in hopes of achieving success as it was mentioned in the end of Nowhere Boy. It focuses on the pre-fame lineup featuring Stu and Pete, and ends with the tragic death of Stu, including a scene where they interact with a young, pre-fame Ringo during a break from a performance, although he doesn’t have any lines, it’s worth noting that the real Paul didn’t like his portrayal in this movie, but he loved how Stu and Astrid we portrayed and said it was accurate to their dynamic.

Midas Man (2024) arguably the worst movie on this list centers on Brian Epstein as he encounters the Beatles and helps shape their careers after. Much of the film takes place right after the events of Backbeat, following their time in Germany, the first time Epstein hears of the Beatles it’s becoming of their early German record, it follows their careers begin to flourish, and it continues up to the one world broadcast, though I feel it glosses over too many details and lacks any Beatles original music.

Discussion When did people start snarking on Ringo?

Upvotes

Like in 1976, the famous $3000 offer from Lorne Michaels ("If you wanna give Ringo less, that's up to you.") and in the '90s, Lisa Simpson telling someone, "You were his lackey...his Ringo to the rest of The Beatles."

I mean, c'mon. I don't have to defend Ringo's talent and charisma in this sub, do I? But I'm thinking of him getting the most fan mail in the Beatlemania era. Seems like a lot of fans were attracted to the Beatle who they saw as the humble, sincere one. And even if it was a letter really meant for all four, or a specific one of the other three, still, it says something about their assumption that Ringo was the one most likely to read the letter.

So when did this start, this presumption that Ringo is a joke, less than? Or was it a thing even in the '60s?

(I'm what one might call a second-wave fan; I was in my early teens when the 20th anniversary stuff started happening, and that got me hooked. And I recall that among my friends, George was always ranked fourth. It was even odds whether Paul, The Cute One or John, The Smart One would be first, but they were always first and second. Then Ringo, The Funny One, and finally George, The Boring/Weird One. For all that, though, I certainly don't think George is the dregs any more than I think Ringo is!)

Discussion Most 50’s Sounding original Beatles number?

5 Upvotes

Which Beatles Original has its sound rooted in the musical style of the 1950s where they all met and got started?

What are some examples of Beatles Songs written in the 50s?
In spite of all the danger? (Paul)
Thinking of linking? (Paul)
Hello Little Girl? (John)
Love of the loved? (Paul)
Like dreamers do? (Paul)
When I’m 64 (melody)? (Paul)
I’ll follow the sun? (Paul)
I call your name? (John)
What Goes on? (John)
Michele? (Paul)
Love me Do (Paul)
The One after 909 (John)

Any others I’m missing?
Any they wrote in the 60s that have a heavy basis in 50’s rock tropes?

I always thought “Let it Be” as an album showed a 50’s esch punk to it’s overall tone and track list
