When I was about to pay for the records I wrote about in my two previous posts, I caught a glimpse of a Beatles record I still have on my want list behind the guy at the check out counter. It was the Beatles’ Blue Album, which is their greatest hits from 1967-1970. That compilation, together with the red one, which sums up their early years, was my introduction to the Beatles when I was a kid. My parents only had the 2xCD, but once I listened to them, they more or less moved to my room. I was really happy when I picked up the Red Album earlier this year, so getting the blue one in the same record store was pretty cool.
What I hadn’t seen was the sticker on the cover which says “NEU - Limitierte Sonderauflage: blaue LP’s [sic]”, which translates to “NEW - Limited Edition Blue LPs”. I would have been perfectly happy with regular black copies, matching the Red Album I picked up earlier this year. But I’m definitely not saying no to colored vinyl perfectly matching the artwork. The only issue that needs solving now is that the Red Album I own is not on colored vinyl, which means I really want to pick up a red vinyl copy as soon as possible to have the two albums match.
