Part of the reason the cassettes have a different order of songs is by design, or redesign. I had The Beatles' Second Album on cassette. The last song on the cassette is not She Loves You. It is Thank You Girl, moved from side one. I have gotten used to it being like that and preferred it over the record order. When the US Album set came out, I deliberately recreated the cassette order on CD. I like it that way.

When I got PPM on tape, ca. 1995, it was a gold inlay Capitol version (which I believe was released for PPM through Revolver and was based on the 1987 remasters). And yes, it had that screwed-up track sequence. Most of the US tapes seem to have the same order as the LPs, but the White Album is...interesting (and it's not, apparently, the same as the UK tape order). Also, Yellow Submarine adds Lucy in the Sky at the beginning of side 2, Abbey Road swaps the first songs on each side, and Let It Be moves I Me Mine to the beginning of side 2.

I think you're right re-the reasons for the running order. Believe it or not, in the very early days, cassette tapes were often more expensive than their vinyl counterparts, despite offering significantly lower sound quality. Hence in order to physically reduce the amount of tape, and to avoid the possibility one side playing right to the end with music, and the other side having acres of blank tape (i.e. hissy silence) at the end, they felt it necessary to re-jiggle the track listings. In the case of a compilation (i.e. Red & Blue and the Oldies) that doesn't matter quite so much, though the Red album kept the "correct" playing order, but the Blue swapped I think Back In The USSR and Revolution to make way for the full length Hey Jude IIRC. Otherwise, I feel it's absolute carnage for the manufacturers to bugger the albums up the way they did. A few years ago, one of my Magical Musical Moments videos went to extraordinary lengths to explain why The White Album HAD to end with Good Night, and Rev 9 come before it, because of the way the previous 3 sides had been laid out. Good Night is not so much a Thank God Number 9 Number 9 Number 9 is finally over, but a huge release of tension that was being built up through the whole LP. Long Long Long is so gorgeous, that you need to get up and physically turn the record over, to give yourself time to draw breath and contemplate what's just happened. And on Revolver, placing She Said next to Tomorrow Never Knows would probably induce a bad LSD trip for the hip new 60's crowd, who were used to having a tense song about a lover's argument using death as the main metaphor followed by a funny children's song about a submarine. And obviously you can tell how the concepts of Help! and HDN are ruined by the odd track listings. The cassette order assumes that the group threw the song titles in the air and watched where they landed when planning LP's, when in fact there was a lot of thought put into it. But none of that really mattered back in the day, because the cassette album (this "musicassette" as it were) was never meant to be high quality. It was designed as a compact dictation format for use in offices and it only had to be good enough to record audible speech. "Take a letter, Miss Pringle...." In the UK at least, at that time, the even worse sounding and far less reliable 8-track cartridge was often seen in cars of those rich enough to be able to afford anything beyond an AM radio, and that's all the cassette was meant to be. Having written all that, I didn't possess all of the "Golds", but they were my first exposure to the Beatles. I bought Rubber Soul on tape in 1981, aged 13, and I loved all of my Beatles tapes. They were released in the correct track listing order at the same time as the 1987 - 1993 CD's were phased in. I had a lot of those. None have survived in anything like good enough condition to be played , because the shells and mechanisms used in pre-recorded tape albums got cheaper and nastier by about the same ratio as the actual tape formulations and Dolby HX Pros and B Type Noise Reductions were making the tape better. "Hi Postion Chrome B-Type NR" or whatever sounds far more technical on the cassette blurb than, "Proper sponge pad"! A couple of other bits then I promise I'll shut up till next week. Does your cassette Please Please Me still have the Angus McBean photo credit on the cover and if so, whereabouts? Your mum's taped copy of Please Please Me was copied I'd guess around 1986-1990. I'm guessing this because I remember the That's brand quite well. It wasn't as high quality as the TDK, Sony and BASF brands but it was cheap enough and trendy enough to not feel short changed buying it! My 1981 Rubber Soul cost £3.99 in the WH Smiths sale, at a time when a fish supper could be bought for round about a pound in our local chippy. The fact that a tape could cost as much as a take away meal for 4 is a sad reflection on our times. My small Dominos Pizza I bought the other night was £9.95. The cost of food has gone up, whilst the cost of owning music has come down! Finally, in order to preserve the little life that's left in your tapes, please find a working tape deck (doesn't have to be good sound quality) and just fast forward and rewind the tapes, from beginning to end several times, leaving the whole spool on the left when side 1 is face up. This helps to prevent tapes jamming and snapping and stops the layers of tape sticking together, producing a "ghosting" effect that is known as print through. I'm so pleased you made this video, as you can tell, it took me right back to the 80's when I began to become interested in hi-fi and collect music, and I became a Beatles fan! It certainly wasn't too long at all, and if next week's video is shorter, I'll make my comments double the length. (I know who I'd rather listen to.)

Thanks so much for the kind words and the genuinely fascinating information : ) I'll check my Please Please Me tape and let you know about the photo credit. As for my Mam's tape, she made when she lived in London which was from 1988-1990 so you were spot on with your time period for that. I totally agree that the tracks being changed around is not a good thing, but is very interesting. Thanks again.

Great video! This is how I was introduced to The Beatles in the mid '80s. It's commonly believed that the track order rearrangement was to equal out the duration of each side, but, whilst this is sometimes the case with vintage cassettes, the actual reason was down to laziness on EMI's part. EMI used the 8 trk cartridge masters for duplication rather than creating new cassette masters. 8trk features a series of loops which each contain three or four tracks which work in the correct sequence when the cartridge is played, but the master tape will sound out of sequence if played from beginning to end (depending on how many songs each loop could hold). Phew! I hope that's clear.... mmmm. Took me years to find the reason for this.

Nice Beatles cassette collection! Even though I'm a vinyl guy, I've been collecting Beatles cassettes over the last few years. It's getting very difficult finding original 1st issue "paper label" Beatles cassettes form the late 60's-early 70's in nice shape these days. Not a lot of them were originally made, purchased or have survived. Lots of 80's issues to go around and collect though. The XDR versions are probably the best sounding.

Back in the late '80s Capitol records here in the states released the Beatles UK releases on the gold cassettes like yours. I never bought them cause I was trying to buy all the LPs in the UK format that were released here. My Beatles white album cassette I bought in the late '80s running order was almost the same as the LP except on side 1 Blackbird ended side 1 after While My Guitrar Gently Weeps. Happiness is a Warm Gun opened side 2 and the balance of side 2 was the same. Side 3 on the second cassette was the same except they took Revolution 1 and placed it at the end of side 3 after Long, Long, Long and put Sexy Sadie at the beginning of side 4 and the balance of side 4 is the same as the LP. The Yellow Submarine here the states was as the LP except they placed Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds to open side 2. My Abbey Road cassette running order is like yours. My cassette has the Capitol target label on the cover but has the Apple on the cassette itself. Just to throw this in, the 8-track release of Sgt Pepper Lonely hearts Club Band is all mixed up!

My cassette of Help! has a white, rather than gold, inlay, despite dating from the same early-80s era as my other Beatles tapes. Don't know if this is unusual. All of my Beatles cassettes have blue print directly applied to grey plastic shells.

Sadly... the irritating detective in me has discovered that the price tag for your 1973 'Hard Day's Night' release is not correct for the period. WHSmiths gives us a £4.10 price tag, well £4.10 in 1973 would be equal to about £45 nowadays. The average working wage in '73 would be £40 - Far too expensive! That price tag belongs to the early/mid 1980s for sure... unless this original release went unsold for over ten years! I think the cassette box and and inlay is from a later release and the seller has popped an earlier original cassette release into the box for you - Just a theory. I bought my Abbey Road gold cassette from WH Smiths in 1986 and it cost me £6.99. Beatles were expensive back in the mid '80s compared to current releases of that time which cost between £4.49 and £5.49).

Hi! You may well be right about the price tag and that it is a mix-and-match affair or just left-over stock. That doesn't particularly bother me though. It's pretty impressive that one can find these things out after a certain amount of dedication and detective work, as you've shown : ) Thanks again!

Hi. I believe the reason that the tracks appear differently is because the tape manufactures had to manipulate the track order so that they would fit on both sides of the cassette evenly, without leaving a large space either at the end of Side 1 or 2. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Take care : )
