I recall my brother and I being at a local department store (Gimbels) which had a record department. The girl behind the counter didn't realize that the White Album was a double record set and we got it for $4.69 or something close to that amount. I recall not really appreciating it much on first listen (I was 11 yo at the time).<br /><br />I remember the TV guide article on the rooftop sessions. It was entitled something like "Four cats on a London roof". I used to have it taped into a scrap book (long since destroyed, unfortunately). That was around the time that Ed Sullivan was doing some sort of Beatles tribute show and there was a note in TV Guide saying that The Beatles might appear live. I recall being pretty excited, but was let down when the show only had the video of the song, "Two of Us", from what would eventually be the "Let It Be" film.jeff-tigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04118073982708000330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761127720236498695.post-54074570262746174252009-11-24T11:04:07.530-08:002009-11-24T11:04:07.530-08:00Thanx for this, However I been collecting Beatle b...Thanx for this, However I been collecting Beatle bootlegs for about 30 years. It seems to me people just keep mixing, dubbing, layering and playing with the sound anyway they can just to call it Take #169. Yes it is kool to hear but once again The Beatles, Martin or Emerick have nothing to do with most of the retread boots that are now circulating, fun to hear but diluted and fabricated by the masses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373564215468716911noreply@blogger.com
