> I'm a HUGE Beatles fan. They were a major aspect of my growing up in the 60's and 70's. I don't have all their releases on CD, only some. Must've cost you a fortune to buy them all at one time.
There are only about 12 original UK realeases on CD. They were on sale for $9.99 at Circuit City. I decided to take advantage of it.
> Do you have any of their bootleg material?
No.
> I've been downloading some of it off the net. I never knew there was so much of it, far more than their regular albums.
Are you using any special software to locate and download music? I recently got a hold of their yearly Christmas messages from a website. I'll see if I can find it.
> BTW, love your site. Where did you get all the photos from?
I can' take credit for taking any of the photos. :-) I surfed the net for a few days to come up with them. I am very grateful to everyone who took the time to scan the pictures and post them.
The Beatles were also a big part of my childhood. I remember watching A Hard Days Night when it first came out. I was only four years old, but I begged my parents to take me to see the movie at the local drive-in. Now, in the midst of a severe depression that has deprived me of an adulthood, it is very comforting to return to those things I identified with most in childhood and adolescence. Fortunately, the music of the 60's and 70's was a true renaissance that we were priveleged to experience.

By the way, if you look at the downloads page linked to my homepage, you can download a rather complete collection of their songs in MIDI format. It's towards the bottom.
