    The Beatles have had a profound effect on the European recording copyright law. Before 2013, the copyright law was 50 years, and then the recording would be in public domain. So any recording would have 50 years to make money for its owners and then it would be free to be duplicated (if the copyright were not renewed). However, the EU passed a rule that had to be adopted by all members that beginning in November, 2013, the copyright would be extended to 70 years. This means that for recordings from before November 1963, they would have the 50 year protection, but after that date, it would jump to 70 years. However, a copyright could be renewed at some cost. I was talking to some Decca staff about their classical music recordings from that era. They told me that they didn't bother about getting copyrights renewed - too costly, and no one worried about 50 years into the future. So pre-November 1963 recordings are essentially all public domain. However, if there were a more recent reissue on another format or remastered, then that would usually have a new copyright. But the original recording would not.

    The Beatles second major recording was released in November, 1963. Not sure why their first album, released in March 1963, wasn't chosen as the date. The copyright people could care less about the classical recordings - not enough money. But rock - that was another matter. 70 years was chosen to balance the rights of the living artists and the general public (since copyrights were never meant to be in perpetuity).

    One of my favorite Beatles albums. The 2009 remastered Beatles CDs are among the best sounding in my collection. Eleanor Rigby is a terrific song but did you know it has no guitar.

        Has there been a Beatles album with a better collection of songs?

        I couldn't possibly choose a favorite from among the original album. While Eleanor Rigby is a popular favorite, gun to my head, Here, There and Everywhere might be desert island song.

          I would place Rubber Soul on this list. Listening to it right now. Still fresh after all these years.

              My favorite two Beatles albums are Rubber Soul and Revolver. More than HDN and SPLHCB or AR which come next for me. Having been in college during the rise and peak of the Beatles' creativity Myles' post brings back some nice memories. Hard to believe that two of the four are gone. Larry

                Here's where we like a sad emoticon.

                I'm still partial to Abbey Road.

              I think SPLHCB is their Masterpiece. Their other albums are excellent in their own way but none can match the artistry of that one.

                Looking at your signature line, it appears that you are 100% digital. I have all of the Beatles digital versions from the first horrid CDs, the remastered stereo collection, the remastered mono collection, and the limited edition green apple with 24/44.1 FLAC files. I'm here to say that the 2009 remastered CDs are nowhere close to being the best sounding Beatle recordings in my collection. If you don't own a decent table, arm, cartridge, phono stage, and EMI Parlaphone Beatles LPs, you are a long ways from hearing the true magic.

                  I'm always hard-pressed to pick a favourite, but would generally agree that SPLHCB stands out as perhaps one of the most innovative albums of all time. Strangely enough however, I don't listen to it all that much. The other one stands out to me in terms of being innovative is The Beatles. Here's an album whereby all 4 members contributed only solo efforts (exceptions being Birthday, Cry, Baby Cry, and Revolution #9).
