I Am The Platypus is host to the largest and most comprehensive archive of Australian Beatles vinyl LP, EP and singles labels. Built upon a solid foundation of factual data gleaned from original EMI Australia Acceptance Sheets, tape boxes, documentation and ephemera, this handy visual reference comprises 1568 labels (including 783 unique label pairs) from the private collections of Australian Beatles enthusiasts.
This online archive is a living document that expands and evolves as new label variations and data come to light. The sole purpose of the archive is to increase awareness of the unique Australian 'Beatles on vinyl' experience. To that end, if you have any label variations that do not appear on this site, please contact Jaesen Jones through the "Contact admin" page under the "Help" menu to arrange the sending of photos/scans.
Jaesen Jones' companion book, An Overview of Australian Beatles Records, is available for purchase under the "References" menu.
Please join our companion Facebook group, Australian Beatles Records, Cassettes, Cartridges and Reels, where you can share your Beatles collection, no matter how rare or common, ask questions about Australian Beatles releases, or provide feedback/suggestions on this site. Solo Beatles releases and questions also welcome!
I hope you enjoy your time here!
