Everything sold out on Beatles site and UK Amazon, all down to scalpers now. Beatles site was one cd per customer, would like to know how many were made of each format.

Disgraceful stuff. If they wanted to frustrate and rip off true fans by selling most of their stock to scalpers, then they couldn't have planned it better. Well done.
What they need to do now is repress all formats in quantity to make the Ebay versions worthless.

You should organize a pool to guess how long I can contain my own enthusiasm!
I didn't think I could last this long. Please do not discount the simple fact that ANY contender named 'Swift' should make the proper use of noblesse oblige especially for a little band that broke up in 1970. By that, I mean Taylor Swift might want to be remembered in 60 years. If he?/she? donated the amount of purchased streams to The Old Fogies, their respective merits might be acknowledged. The Beatles carried the industry since 1970. They've even carried their own solo careers...which WON'T be celebrated in 60 years, but The Beatles will still be the buoyancy in the water. All rivers flow to the sea...(same one). We don't need Swift's help. Too bad I've never heard of them(the Taylors). We've only got half a group...on a half-shell...and where is the pearl?
Grains of sand in the buoyant water. That ain't shellfish...
Slightly geriatric?
Sea Of Time!
Reith, I'd hug you if I could get my hands on you!
The Beatles don't need to be swift...
They don't need to be #1...
They just want me to be quiet!

There are still some availability in the Beatles UK/Australia on line store, just bought today the 4 CD box set and the CD Single from there
i saw copies of the clear, marble and blue vinyl single still available there (i got a copy of the Marble single, cassette and the 6 LP colored box set on the MX store the day of the release - to clarify, i am not a hoarder) but you may be able to grab them from the UK Store

Re: Beatles Number One in UK
Looks like they are starting to press more thank goodness. Pretty silly not to. Seems as though they massively underestimated demand.

Re: Beatles Number One in UK
Just press enough already!
What is their problem?

Re: Beatles Number One in UK
The additional shipping cost and waiting time is really annoying.
Re: Beatles Number One in UK
Definitely number 1 now!
