The Beatles were an English rock group from 1960-1970. Their influence on the world and today's music is incredible. This subreddit is for discussion, news, memorabilia, and/ or anything else relating to the group. :)
For context, I love collecting music in the form of CD so I can rip them to listen as digital media. Any who, I have managed to get my hands on The Beatles Anthology 2 and 3. The other day, I happened to find out that Anthology went back in production and ordered the missing volume, Anthology 1. Anthology 1 came in today and I noticed that my copies of 2 and 3 have a white spine while my new copy of 1 has a black spine. This may not mean anything however, I wanted to know if. Does the white spine mean 1st edition or limited edition?

White spine is just the original versions. They are not rare and not valuable but they certainly look better on a shelf than the black spines.
Cool. I will still be hunting for an OG Anthology 1 then because it truly does look better on the shelf.
Black may be a re-case. The white original may have broken and been replaced with a standard black case.
It's a brand new copy
In that case, it's probably just a factory change
Pretty sure those 'chubby' double CD cases can be purchased online, in black white or all clear.

I ended up putting all my CDs in those CD album cases with a zipper. One pocket for disc, one for book and much less space taken by the CDs.

Nah, it has to be the official. It will be more fun to hunt for it. This isn't really a rare CD so I'm sure I'll find it with time.
Where did you get these? I once replaced an anthology 1 box with the black spine and sold it to a store 😂 what a coincidence that would be
