RE: the beatles
Curt/jb:

For us Yanks the Beatles didn't exist until "Meet the Beatles" and "Beatles 64" came out.
(OK...maybe I missed one...I was kind of young then and had to steal those albums from my sister when she left to join the Air Force...lol...)

I didn't realize it at that time...but they were playing Buddy Holly songs.
(please...no beatings here...John Lennon said it...not me!)
They took that for a start...and as you say jb...they invented an entire sound. Progressive music. Orchestral accompaniment. Symphonic themes through entire albums that tied the movements together. (Sgt. Pepper mate!...:)

Yes...I still have my White Album...original edition...and with the inserts...b and w head shots of each beatle...etc...etc...
Somehow downloading that on to your ipod doesn't quite seem the same...but of course we were all huddled over these antique machines back then called "record players" and usually trying our best not to put another scratch in the record...

I hope my sister doesn't read these forums...she's STILL looking for those first two Beatles albums!

Dan
