Featured BEATLEMANIA With The Beatles 1963

It’s Saturday night and I’m at home with a double case of Beatlemania! It was brought on by John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

These are two 1963 Capitol Records Canada first pressings of BEATLEMANIA With The Beatles. The covers are in great condition for having gone through BEATLEMANIA, the white on the covers looks brighter in daylight, I guess the lighting in my living room is a little low. The vinyls on both editions play like brand new, not a pop or scratch.

This record has another distinction, it was the very first Beatles LP released in North America, so Canada has that claim to fame with the Fab Four!

 

loved beatlemania! my girlfriend down the street and i would try to play all the beatles songs on our guitars every afternoon with the stereo! what a mess that must have sounded!

 

I bet you had so much fun though!

 

yes, music was always prevalent in my life, thanks Maven!

 

I can relate

 

Beatles and Yes two best bands ever!! Never saw the beatles live, saw Paul McCartney flowers in the dirt live, Seen Yes a dozen times including the Union tour.

 

I think I can agree with you there @Michael77, but I’m like a sponge when it comes to music, I love almost everything I hear, there are a few I have disliked over the years, but all music deserves at least a listen.

 

Remember them well. I was in High school, sitting on the bus with the transistor radio, pinned to my ear... I played it till the batteries went stone cold dead. Grreat memories....

 

My Dad told me the story of when he first heard The Beatles in 1963, it was a radio show called Music From Across The Pond If I’m correct. He said it was nothing like he heard before, months later, well history knows what happened.....

 

Todays music just not the same, we lived in historical times at least musically speaking. 50's thru the 70's two thumbs up!

 

I agree, I’m not into much new stuff. Besides, I was raised on a pretty incredible record collection my parent’s had. I think there was more creativity and character to the music then. And the sound of the old recordings, you can’t get any better.

 

Steve Howe is one amazing guitarist. I've seen them a couple of times back in the 70s.

 

Well that's for sure, early beatles music and lyrics there's nothing like it! That music is and will be timeless.

All the guys in yes are amazing Steve Howe is wonderful player, I actually got to meet him in 97 at the Orpheum in SF. very soft spoken humble guy.

 

It was the "open your eyes tour", the thing about yes is super positive lyrics. Well the music takes you on a amazing journey too.

 

Van morrisons 1968 astral weeks (any excuse to plug !)

Has been my firm favourite for many years, and still improves

Don't know if it's your kind of thing, but it's astounding !

I found a first pressing, played it to test having not heard it before, and the rest is history

A little slice

 

Anything Van Morrison has done is brilliant, beautiful piece of music.

 

Love many songs by Van Morrison.
Ahh, the Beatles. I preferred most of the early music over their later music.
I remember when they were on Ed Sullivan.
