Beatles Reel Checklist

A personal checklist tracking the open-reel (reel-to-reel) Beatles tapes released in Canada. Two distinct series are documented: the Capitol White Box series (1964–1968), and the later Gold Box series (1970), all manufactured by Ampex. Tick a box to toggle owned/missing; ticking an unconfirmed entry promotes it to confirmed.

The middle column shows the size of the reel (5" or 7") rather than a pressing plant, since all Canadian Beatles reels were Ampex products. Click any text to edit a size or date note. Changes auto-save in this browser.
