    I've got them all on vinyl. Let's see ...


    Yes. The answer to that is yes. Unless you count The Beatles 1962-66 and The Beatles 1967-1970, two compilations that were released in 1973.

    Mind you, I know that the original Let It Be had a big photo booklet. (I don't have the original pressing.) However, I don't know if lyrics were included. Maybe someone could clarify this.

    So the one page booklet is what was got on vinyl as well?
    A question on "baby your a richman". I have this on "Magical mystery tour" but I always find that it very quiet and not loud enough on record.

    Well, on Sgt pepper, the lyrics are on the back cover:

    On The White Album, there was a giant fold-out poster:

    The lyrics were on the back.

    As for Baby You're A Rich Man, it was originally the B-Side of All You Need Is Love. It was released on the US LP of Magical Mystery Tour. (Magical Mystery Tour was released as a double 7 inch EP in the UK, and comprised only the songs on Side One of the US album.) So, it wasn't on the UK version (until it was released in album form, in the seventies.) I've noticed that Capitol pressings of The Beatles stuff do sound different from their UK counterparts.

    Magical Mystery Tour has an illustrated booklet, too, but it hasn't got lyrics.

    I always seem to turn the volume up on baby your a richman and long long long.

    Yep, Long Long Long does sound very quiet! But maybe that's because our ears are still ringing from Helter Skelter? :)

    I prefer the darker version on ANtology 3 of helter skelter.

    Ahhh, yes. There's another version, knocking about somewhere, too: a twenty-four minute jam!

    I remember hearing it first when the electric went one night. I had a walkman on and thinking woh, this is fairly raw and intense.
