My passion for the Beatles started when i was young growing in the dark corners of Paisley. My mum and dad had a great Record Collection and i remember there was a red and blue album in the pile, which was the Greatist hits albums by The Beatles which i still have. This was my first taste of the Beatles. My Dad was the one who brought me up to like them and i started to get into there songs a bit more. The song which i think got me hooked was "She loves you", one of the biggest selling singles to date. The memories will stay with me forever. The Beatles have a gift to change peoples life, i cant understand why people hate them. You have to get right into the heart of the songs which is what ive done through writing my self and playing guitar etc. I also remember seeing Help! the Beatles second film made in 1965 just after a Hard Days Nights another grear 60s classic. I think i saw the film on sunday afternoon during 1991. My dad brought me up with the 60s and 70s comedy classics which is another passion of mine today. Through years ive grown to be a bigger fan of the Beatles and feel i know
more about them than ever, through there lives,music,concerts,technology. There songwriting abilty is the greatist ever. The emortal genius of Lennon/mc Cartney was one the biggest partnerships in music history, becasue we can think of others like, Tapuin/John, Rice/webber
but the greatist is Lennon/Mc Cartney. Through the years i developed my record collection, and started to buy The Beatle albums indivually. I think abbey road was the first one i bought and so on. I also started to buy books and dvds, with one being the Anthology which was broadcasted in 1994 and 1995 and indepth look the lifes of The Beatles, told by the them. I can remember it being a sunday night and everyweek the BBC would show another eposide, it was great. My biggest thrill was that the recorded new tracks with John lennons voice which was really emotional and must have been hard. The songs "Real love" and "Free as a bird" are great tracks by "John lennon", who worte them during his break from the industry in the 70s. There is certian songs which i indenfy with my own life, like "Yesterday" which i think is an anthem to anyone who has lost anyone close. During my stuides on the music indusrty my case study is always on The Beatles and i relate to them always.
