I remember that my Grandma and Pop bought the Beatles, Red and Blue double albums for my parents back in Christmas 1978. The Red album is The Beatles greatest hits from 1962-1966 and the Blue album is The Beatles greatest hits from 1967-1970.  For me 1978 and 1979 were the years in which I really enjoyed listening to those records.  I remember really liking the song from the Blue album called “Here comes the Sun” (1969).  At the ages of four and five I used to get my mum to play that song often and would listen to the song when I was outside in the backyard. Also when I was four and five I used to enjoy wearing long pretty dresses.

I re-started my love of The Beatles music when I was in Year 10, which was in 1989.  I remember in Year 11 that my brother bought for me a cassette by The Beatles called The Beatles Remastered, which contained The Beatles re-makes of songs by other artists, some of the songs included on the cassette were called?  I used to play that cassette on my stereo system when I was living in a caravan in my parents’ backyard.  The songs I really dug from that cassette were “Long Tall Sally” and “Twist and Shout”!!   I used to feel good and like dancing around to those songs.  I also used to constantly listen to The Beatles, Red and Blue albums when I was living in the caravan. (Today those records are a bit scratched) oops. 

Also in 1990 I bought a poster book of The Beatles.  Back in 1990 – 1995, I had some of The Beatles posters hung up on the walls in my caravan.  These posters were of The Beatles from the years 1963-1965.  Here are few photos of The Beatles from 1963 and 1965.

When music CD’s came out and in the years following I bought the
following Beatles CD’s: “Rubber Soul” (1965), “Beatles for Sale” (1964),
“Help” (1965), “Revolver” (1966), “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts club Band”
(1967), and “Abbey Road” (1969).  What I like about their records is their
change in music style through the years and the way they used to dress
and have their hair.  This meaning from the years 1964 – 1970. 
In my opinion their radical change and altering of music styles is
what made them so appealing.  Just from 1964 -1967, their change
from straight to psychedelic.  They changed the face of music and the
way people write music.  The Beatles made musicians want to and feel
more comfortable about veering away from writing and performing
conservatively.
