Talk:The Early Tapes of the Beatles

Good?
Good???
 * That's the latest incarnation of the Polydor Records Tony Sheridan recordings. It's better to talk about the earlier releases on Polydor. Steelbeard1 10:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Results of AfD attempt
An attempted AfD proposal resulted in the verdict "KEEP (no consensus)" The discussion is at Articles for deletion/The Early Tapes of The Beatles. Steelbeard1 11:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Should we try to propose merging this article with The Beatles' First? Steelbeard1 11:20, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yikes! I didn't know it had been on AFD. Why didn't anybody tell me? :) I'm quite good at writing deletion rationale. Anyway, never mind. I'd suggest a small merge (smerge) and redirect. --kingboyk 11:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Merger proposal into The Beatles' First

Switch to original CD issue
Since some people still want this article in, I changed it to the original CD issue on Polydor. I'm still in favour of merging the article into The Beatles' First. Steelbeard1 10:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)


 * One significant problem with this page is that (to the best of my knowledge) this is not “the first digital repackaging” of The Beatles’ First! That would be Polydor’s The Beatles - First with the group cover photo (erroneously) including Ringo. This CD was pressed by PolyGram in their early plant in Hanover, West Germany. It’s difficult to correct this, since this page refers to a later CD with a different title and cover art.
 * For what it’s worth, the Hanover pressing is likely from 1984 (as its Discogs entry indicates), and later releases titled The Early Tapes of the Beatles were almost certainly pressed later, based on an examination of disc markings which indicate their provenance.
 * I agree that it would be better if this page were deprecated/merged/deleted. Revertigo (talk) 18:35, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Wholeheartedly agree ! I would go further and merge Very Together and In the Beginning (Circa 1960) with The Beatles' First since they are all the same albums! All these pages should be redirects...JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 21:27, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

German slang word for penis?
I am a native German speaker and I have never heard of a German slang word for penis that is in any way similar to 'beatle'. But if anyone can provide such a word - I am willing to learn something new... or just drop that information! Atarax42 10:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

This seems to be vandalism to me. 75.143.255.187 (talk) 05:57, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
