Beatles Intro

Origin

My Beatles-collection originated somewhere in the early seventies. As all Beatles collectors I first collected the regular LPs and singles. The first Beatles bootlegs appeared in Holland round and about 1971. They contained among others live recordings, mostly of a very poor soundquality but they had not been available on record before. This was the start for a wider collecting interest.

What did I Collect

Besides the studio and live recordings of the Beatles as a group or solo I also collected related material such records to which they had contributed. 
I also followed the releases of the Record Companies Apple, Dark Horse and Ring 'O Records. And last but not least the many cover versions of Beatles songs. Altogether this is a wide collecting area. 
During the years of collecting, the related material has been separated in a number of Beatles related subcollections. More about this subject can be found on my Related page.

Nowadays

In the seventies it was mainly the obscure bootlegs that had my special interest, nowadays the greater part of my attention is aimed at the cover versions that other artists made of Beatles songs. You'll find more about that subject on my Covers page.
And of course I've got some things that eventually came on my For Sale list. Apart from this for-sale-list I have some special things that I would like to swap. Do get in touch!

Still searchin

Within a collection like this there is always something to look out for. That's why I added a Searchlist page. Some of my wishes are to be found there.
