Followed by A Hard Day's Night (UK). Of course I love everything of theirs but an especially fond of their "mid-early" period. Takes me back to when I was a little kid.

bought all their subsequent albums as the were released.

I like their raw sound way more than the processed, multitracked or as Lennon said repeatedly in later interviews "that dead, Beatle sound."

Especially when you are old like me! Born in 1954.

It gets totally confusing.

When I first got the CD boxed set, I digitized it all, and rearranged the tracks and albums to correspond to my undeniable US release memories.

Fortunately, there was a web reference for this, to aid my aging memory.

The British releases were hurting my brain's memory!

The whole real story is more complicated, but I won't bore you all with the details.

They did things on that album that had never even been dreamed of before.
"A Day in the Life" could be their best song ever, imo

(I also love Abbey Road)

I'd love to tur-ur-ur-n you-ou-ou o-o-o-on..." And then that amazing long bit of music like nothing else before or since. Abbey Road is my "cheer up" go-to album if I'm ever feeling down and out. You can't possibly listen to "she came in through the bathroom window" and not laugh.
