Description
The BEATLES official 1980 CANADA Capitol/EMI FIRST release of their BALLADS LP album, also released in UK, Australia, etc in 1980. Total of 20 songs, now in STEREO. This one is produced by George Martin. Fantastic!! Kind of the International version of US Capitol “LOVE SONGS” from 1977! Another of the worlds most iconic covers on a record album! It is presumed Goldmine Mint as it is STILL SEALED, since purchase date. Unplayed. Presumed near perfect!! Presumed by comparison to be Capitol Rainbow labels (See photo 3 for sample image of another 1980 Beatles Ballad Capitol Canada Rainbow label for sale, the only other one I could find on eBay!) 20 Classic hits here include: MICHELLE, IN MY LIFE, YESTERDAY, AND I LOVE HER, and many others! Of course every song is a classic, even today, over 55 years later than first release. My personal favorite: SHE’S LEAVING HOME!! The Beatles aimed at getting the LP to the worldwide market after the huge success of USA Capitol’s 25 song double album LOVE SONGS in 1977. And 19 of these 20 songs were written by the Boys, amazing! TEN songs are on this LP but NOT on Love Songs: DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET, TILL THERE WAS YOU, NOWHERE MAN, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, HEY JUDE, ALL MY LOVING, THE FOOL ON THE HILL, HERE COMES THE SUN, BLACKBIRD, LET IT BE!! They all still sound so fresh, with Incredible energy from the Boys as they attack your ears with superb melodies and harmonies! This is a beautiful record, quite wonderful sounding!! The cover is well kept, in plastic wrap and cover since its purchase. I quickly learned to handle them as little as possible, especially one of these “new” reissues which I thought would become rarer and greatly treasured!! Read more on “45cat”, my favorite worldwide discography site. Trying to price it is guesswork. Very few are up for sale from 1980! But I guess the market will tell me what these are worth! This one is SUPER! You decide!! See images, actual sale item (except photo 3 for label reference). THIS ALBUM IS EASIER TO FIND FROM UK OR AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN. MUCH RARER ON CAPITOL FROM CANADA! With the gorgeous Rainbow Labels of the 80s!!Seller is 50+ year collector and keeper of all things Beatles related. Shipped with USPS Media Mail and Global Shipping Program. All purchases ship together for $5 total. So browse for others. Price reduces weekly till sold!! Best to all! Beatle Lew.
