You can find Purple Label Capitol Records Beatles LPs from the 80's fairly easy. However they sound lousy.
The best sounding Beatles are on Parlaphone EMI from England. Some of the Japanese issues sound great too. Early Capital Records are good... but you should know that Capital remixed the Beatles from day one. Only the non-US Beatles LPs sound the way the Beatles wanted them to.
Also, the Beatles mixed all their LPs in Mono until the White Album. They personally were involved in the mixing. They didn't appreciate stereo and left all the stereo mixes to the engineers in the studio and they went home.
Yes, there is a lot to know about Turntables, Cartridges and other equipment but the subject of Beatles LPs is just as large and detailed.

+1, though the White Album was released in mono in England.
Also, see if the store you got it at can professionally clean it for you; can make a world of difference.
