I was born in 64 the year the Beatles came to America, but I had my first Beatles album when I was five I believe it was called the Beatles second album. After that, I bought the red and blue albums which were sort of starter albums. Once I got into them further then I collected the rest. At one point I believe I had almost 40 Beatles albums of a variety of release dates but eventually I got rid of it. Shame on me. Though I started collecting after they broke up, I did feel somewhat part of the journey. Not long ago on my 60th birthday I was at a restaurant and who walked in, Paul McCartney. I couldn’t believe it. I would have to say that’s my one time that I saw a beatle.
