I have a documentary called "The First US Visit" which follows them on their first little tour in the US. I really enjoyed it. It has all of the first Ed Sullivan performances.

Early rock and roll doesnt seem to get much attention now. I still listen to Buddy Holly a fair bit.

I remember my sister going all wacko as they were playing on Ed`s show. Yes I am old.

I listen to the older stuff in spurts. But I absolutely love the Beatles, always have.

A Hard Day's Night is a gem of a comedy, if you've not seen that I'd highly recommend it.

I remember when Lennon died. That was actually when I started listening to them because they played their songs all night long and I realized that I'd always loved those songs, just never knew what they were.

Yep I have both A Hard Days Night and Help! in my dvd collections. Couldnt get through Yellow Submarine though. I dont care for animated things anyway. Im hoping the Let it Be documentary eventually gets an official release. The Beatles have been up there for me most of my life. Ive seen Paul McCartney twice. That was really fun. Hoping I get to see Ringo before he stops touring.

I used to have an old LP which was essentially 'out takes' from the recording studio that was originally sent out exclusively to members of there fan club. Silly little songs and a lot of banter, it was a riot! Alas, I no longer have it.

Ha,I can remember having to go to the highest point in the county so you could pick up "cousin Brucie" on "77 WABC" because local radio didn't play rock 'n' roll.
The Beatles sucked,long live the Troggs and Shadows of Knight.
