In 1963 I was working in a hardware shop at the sweet age of 16. That was when I first heard the Beatles.
Out went the Brylcreem Teddy boy style hair and in came the soft Beatle style haircut.
Overnight I became a mod and within a year had a light blue mod Lambretta scooter with 6 wing mirrors that vibrated so much you could not use them, a chrome sports silencer, passenger back rest and spare tyre and a special dark blue seat.
I could not afford every Beatles record in those days but I invested in a Phillips portable tape recorder bought from Currys (just a little shop then) on “hire purchase” That way I managed to get every single record available on the radio, often with DJ talk over. Piracy went on even in those days.

I have made a few Beatles animations.
The Fender Sonic blue Stratocaster guitar was use by George and John around 1965 in the sessions for “Help”
The other animations talk for themselves.

John once said the Beatles were more famous than Jesus.
Probably because people could not afford televisions or radios when Jesus walked.
