CDs Over Vinyl Any Day

[DMK]

Actually, I do have some "original" vinyal pressings of the Beatles - Abbey Road, The White Album, Sgt. Pepper - all on Parlaphone, the British EMI label that my grandmother brought back from her trip to England over 30 years ago. Still, my CD copy of, for example, "As My Guitar Gently Weeps" (on a compilation CD) sounds better.

I can't argue with what you hear. But I can say that if the LP's have been well cared for, you are in the distinct minority with your preference for the CD - for what that's worth. The original Parlophones are highly sought after.

Speaking of worth - and again, if the vinyl is in good shape - they're worth some major bucks on the collector market! If you're interested in selling the LP's, you should check into that. Perhaps a city close to you has a record show or something.

I have 5 Beatles albums on Parlaphone: The three I already listed in addition to Rubber Soul and Revolver, all in near mint condition. I wouldn't have thought they'd be worth that much. My regret is not keeping the Rubber Soul album on the Capital label because it contained a great, though under-rated McCartney number you don't hear played that much - "I've Just Seen A Face" ("I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place where we just met she's just the girl for me/ and I want all the world to see we've met...")
