In fact, my earliest Beatles memory is of their breakup, and 5 year old me bouncing on a bed with my childhood friend talking about how unbelievable it was.

My Beatlemania started when my sister bought the red and blue Greatest Hits albums. I played them incessantly and became a fan. They still are my #1 band.
