The Beatles Reel To Reel Tapes

The Beatles' active years corresponded with the popularity of reel-to-reel tapes, and their US releases are all available on reel tape. Many have variations in cover art (generally the back of the tape box listing the songs and credits); some are available in different speeds.

Beatles Revolver reel-to-reel tape by Capitol (American version, with fewer songs)

John, Paul, George and Ringo solo tapes are scarcer, and many appear to have never seen release. One notable exception is Paul McCartney's Give My Regards To Broad Street, which was released as a promo reel tape in 1984 and isn't seen very often for sale. Solo albums that are (somewhat) more easily found include Paul McCartney's McCartney, Plastic Ono Band (both John Lennon and Yoko Ono versions), Ringo Starr's Beaucoups Of Blues, and All Things Must Pass by George Harrison (which, like Concert For Bangladesh, was released as a single-reel 3 3/4 ips reel).

Many of the Beatles' albums were released as two-for sets, for example, including Rubber Soul and Beatles' Second Album on one tape. While most Beatles reel to reel tapes were 7", a smaller number were released as 5" reels. Both varieties make for fun collecting and great listening and displaying, and examples of most releases can be found for a relatively small price.
