…Beatles
I forget how much I enjoy the music of the Beatles. When I am picking out artists to listen to, others come to mind so much more readily.
I love the Boss. The Indigo Girls are...so..liberated. I love me some Eagles. Bono and U2 make me rattle and hum.
I listen to classic stuff, and recently released, too. I really like a mix, and somehow the Beatles just sort of get lost in the shuffle.
When I am on the road, driving down the highway, I hardly ever think, ‘you know, I am just in the mood for some Ob-La-Di, or some Across the Universe, or some Back In The USSR.’ But actually, all would be good driving songs…
Anyway, remember the Great Computer Demise of 2009? And before that, the Goals and Aspirations (pt deux) of 2009?? One of my goals was to work with the music on my computer, including (but not limited to) organization of the existing music…and ripping all other CD’s to the computer. I had just about finished the organization (in iTunes) before the Demise. Since I didn’t reload iTunes on the new laptop, the organization had to be redone, but really, I had such a head start. Task, the Second was getting all other CD’s onto the computer.
Which brings us to today’s ABC-Along entry.

Behold my complete, in it’s entirety, wholly owned collection of every single one of the Beatles albums…in CD form. There’s a story about how I came to own this, and it’s not such a pretty one, so we will leave it there for now! Suffice it to say that here and now, I can bask in the glory and relish in the fact that I have every single recording made by John, Paul, George, and Ringo. As the Beatles, that is.
While I was setting up my new laptop, and also working on my 2009 Goal and Aspiration of music organization/recording, I got out the Fab Four where they rest in the solid wood storage cabinet (see above), and ripped every single CD to the laptop. Look under Playlist-Beatles, and there is ...alot of...of...gig! Every thing from Help! to Sgt. Pepper to Abbey Road to the both Past Masters.
And if anyone is curious, my favorite all time album? The White Album. I had the vinyl for the longest time, lost it, re-purchased it, then gifted it to Precious Niece, complete with all the original inserts. She appreciates such things, don't you know.

You make me smile! I still have my original Meet the Beatles album from 1964 with hearts drawn around each of the Beatles names on the back. I loved Paul best! Monaural, because stereo albums were more expensive!!!!
Perhaps one time when you come to visit, we should see the Beatles ala French Canadian Acrobats!
I still love the Beatles, I remember my dad complaining about how long their hair was, that's so funny looking back. I wonder where all my albums are, not that I have any kind of machine that would play records.
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, I say, it's alright...
I love the Beatles!
Ok so I am jealous!
But did you see them in person?
I did at shea in 1965 or was it 1966! Us old timers have brain farts.
I love those responses about The Beatles! Wow-- the lady named Lupie saw them in person!! Maybe she was one of those screaming girls you see on the video clips-- or one of the fainting girls! Levi bought Dennis a Beatles painting while he was in Mexico at a YFC trip-- it's one of those black and white velvety paintings and Dennis thinks the guy who painted it put in one of The Turtles guys instead of Paul--?? Those crazy Mexicans! No, I think it's Paul.
That is one fabulous case for that collection. I too have the full CD set, but alas, they're just on the shelf will all the rest, not in an awesome box like that.
PS - The White Album? My favorite of all the Beatles albums too!
