No, really Chris, just let it be

"Elanor Rigby" gets my vote, followed by "She's leaving home".

6th January 1963.

 

I remember it because it was my 19th birthday.

 

Working on a ship docked in Liverpool soon to sail to Australia.

 

Bitterly cold (my hands stuck to a metal ladder when I went to run a wire aerial for my radio up the mast), we took a cab into Liverpool and was dropped outside a music venue called The Cavern Club.

 

Inside were posters for a group called 'The Beatles' (I found the mispelling a little annoying, it wasn't until later that I got the pun).

 

During the interval the PA announced that the Beatles had just released a single, and played 'Please, please me' (they weren't there that night ).

 

Heard it later on my radio before we set sail, and again and again as we sailed through the Med, down the Suez canal, and all along the East coast of Africa.

 

The young Scousers amongst the crew could hardly believe it. A local group on the radio, internationally!

 

Some time later the Beatles joined me in Australia for their Australian Tour, bringing Beatlemania with them (or rather it was waiting there for them).

 

I was staying in a house with rented rooms in Marrickville, a suburb of Sydney, and the Beatles had attained god-like status and were actually here in Sydney.

 

We sat glued to the television, crowded together in the shared lounge.

 

Favourite Beatle's track?

 

Hmmmm! Now let me see. There's ........ and .......and........and..

Blimey there's a task & a half, pick your favourite Beatles song

 

Lets see, Back in the USSR, Revolution (fast version), Bulldog, Paperback writer, Hey Jude, Tomorrow never knows, Norwegian Wood, this is silly I'll be here all night!

 

I was looking at some music stats the other night, & it probably won't come as any surprise to find out the Beatles have sold more records than anybody else in history. Apparently there are only 3 acts that have amassed 1 billion sales, 2nd & 3rd are Elvis & Bing. Quite something when you consider the fab 4 only had 10 years recording as opposed to Elvis & Bing who both had very extensive recording careers.

 

It's a very interesting list to look at, you will be shocked by the big names that languish well down the pecking order, perhaps suggesting more music & fashion industry favourites rather than customer favourites.
