    I also first heard the Beatles in the "Red" & "Blue" albums. They were everywhere in 1970s/1980s. Took some time to unlearn that canon.https://twitter.com/OrrChris/status/1386885485038030850 …

    Now ‘Penny Lane,’ a song I like more than I did when I was a kid. (Is this partly due to Carpool Karaoke? Probably!) Yes, I’m listening to the ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ greatest hits albums. They are how I—and I suspect a lot of kids of the 70s and early 80s—first ‘learned’ the Beatles. https://twitter.com/OrrChris/status/1386879918710136832 …

        My son loves the BeatBugz and gets mad if he ever hears the actual Beatles versions

        US versions of the Beatles albums were rip offs with aim of churning out as many LPs as possible, for example, on the US version of A Hard Day's Night there are 12 tracks and two of them are instrumentals on the UK there are 13 Beatles' songs, on Rubber Soul (US) 12 songs (UK)14.

        Exactly! Who in the world thought ‘Hello, Goodbye’ was a more significant song than ‘And Your Bird Can Sing’? So, like you, I re-learned the Beatles, and it’s weird and fascinating to rediscover this powerful-yet-refuted catechism. I recommend it.

        Weren’t the red and blue albums compilations of singles? ‘And Your Bird Can Sing’ might be a better song, but it was never released as a single.

        I remember the red and blue albums. I also had a Beatles "Love Songs" album that I really liked and that I still try to find when I'm in record stores. I don't know what happened to my copy

        I remember being a 12 yr old on Boxing Day, 1983, waiting in line at Sam the Record Man on St. Catherine's St. in Montreal, buying the Red and Blue albums.

        "Blue" was the first album I ever owned, couldn't find the actual albums in any of the stores of Bumfuck, Minnesota.

        In the late 1970s, The Clash had a hit with a song that included the line "Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust". That line has never stopped being true since it was first broadcast on the radio. Sorry, folks, but let's all admit that the Beatles were very much of their time.
