Hi Gary (sorry been gone so long!) - The Beatles are there, on the stereo, in my earliest memories, in song books my mom and dad would read from at the plastic organ in the living room. in the album covers that were windows onto a colorful world full of love and fun and creativity. I remember seeing the Yellow Submarine movie when it was new. I must have been 4 years old. But they were already old friends by then!

My dad was in a Beatles cover band when he was in college in the 60's (probably MANY existed in Japan back in those days) and I just suddenly remembered now about his old guitar scores of Beatles songs. They came with lyrics translated to Japanese. so that people could play and sing them in Japanese. Must have sounded funny in the same way as that Cambodian Hey Jude.

Hey Gary. Quite different takes on the Beatles as I remember them. They were my favorite at that time. I could not believe that I was finally hearing a wonderful change in music...The music of the 50's and 60's was so bad, IMO, that I stopped listening to it until one day at your Aunt Arden's I was fortunate to hear the Beatles for the first time....I fell in love with their music!

Kitchens and The Beatles: I remember sitting in the kitchen of my parents' home where I then lived reading Camus's "The Fall" when the news of Lennon's murder was reported. That was approx. 16.5 years after the release of HDN, but weirdly a whopping approx. 35.25 years before today.

...and i always despised "long and winding road". the naked version is a different vocal take. it actually sounds like he means it!

i wish there were an "all things must pass...naked" album!

Dean:

@hyde: I agree, particularly so with respect to Let It Be, which was such a peculiar conclusion to the group's career. I think what grabbed me then about those tunes was their distance (aptly) from The Beatles I knew from childhood. ATU and LAWR are light-years removed from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or "Rocky Racoon." I don't know the naked versions, but I suspect I would miss the "lukewarm mush" coelacanth mentions. Sgt. Peppers was, of a course, a masterpiece of production, over-, under-, sideways, and down. But I enjoy the tepid "easy listening" vibe to those tunes on Let It Be as a nice contrast to, say, "One After 909" or "Get Back."

As I mentioned above, though, I largely favor the bootlegs, which can be as bare-assed naked as you can get.

@dean hehe, it all may just simply be a taste thing also. i love "one after 909" and get back"!

@hyde: Agreed, again! I hope I didn't imply by emphasizing the contrast that I didn't love them!

@Dean heh, not at all. (plus, i can always hack people hating music that i love. it'd get awful boring if we all liked the same stuff).

@Mayuko that can't be your favorite Beatles song, that's *my* favorite Beatles song! ;) (tho i'll settle for I'm Only Sleeping, if it's a real issue)

Ryan J:

Some of these put a big smile on my face and I'm not sure if it is because I like it or because it is tickling a funny bone but it is awesome. It does really make one ponder cultural influence on popular music. I think it is most amusing since the original melodies are so well ingrained!

What's amazing to me, Ryan, is how everything is so recognizable, no matter how mangled or reworked

Gary, having scrolled up inadvertently to your question...my oldest beatle memory is also my oldest r&r memory. i went from the mary poppins st & a danny kaye children's record to Meet the Beatles and i clearly recall the overwhelming joy i felt when i learned that such a thing exists. i took it apart in my head and it turned my world upside-down.

My oldest Beatle memory was when I got a new lime scented marker for my fifth bday, and and I colored in "Beatles" on the White Album and my father got home, saw me doing it, and slapped the hell out of me. My mom scolded him, and he apologized to me. 10 years later, I totally understood.
