****** There were many years I'd buy just about anything slapped between two covers which involved The Fabs...It's been in the last ten years or so that I've lost that urge...Perhaps I tired of the same old coffee table books with the same info and the same photos we've seen time and time again, often the same book with a new cover and title...... I'll still spring for a book is I know right off that it includes something new- an insider's recollection, previously unseen photos, just an angle which hasn't been covered to death.. The John Lennnon Letters was a must-buy, for instance...Chris O'Dell's book was another...

******Have you drawn a line that wasn't there in years past when it comes to book buying of the Beatle kind?

*****Definitely spend way less on the fabs than I used to.I didn't even bother getting the remasters until my original cds started skipping.The only remasters I own are Let It Be Abbey Road and Revolver.As far as books haven't bought Lennon letters yet.Maybe will.Probably just check if my library has it and rent it.I really don't care all that much anymore.The economy is still horrible as are my finances.I have priorities like bills rent etc.Owning Beatles stuff isn't important to me anymore.//oo\\

**** I'll never own all the remasters...For better or worse, I'll never get used to the British versions... Rubber Soul has to start out with 'I've Just Seen A Face'.. That's what I grew up with and that's what still sounds right to me.. Just the way it is for an old Beatlefreak...

***I have never gotten used to the British versions either. I still have my old Capital vinyl records. :]

**
**Me too...Multiple copies of some...
**
** The Capitol Albums Vols. 1 and 2...
**
** Now that's what I need on CD...

*North American versions...or at least what i grew up with too. none-the-less i am now a Brit version aficionado - maybe it's because i believed that this was the way THEY had done them and i started to listen that way..whatever...but i still go back in time and listen to the albums as i once heard them upon their release...
*i have now bought them all again on itunes - simply because i can carry 8,000 plus songs in my pocket...i know it's not an audioFiles dream but whatever...
*i still read Beatle things when i see them and turn my head if i hear them---and i still am convinced they were from another stratosphere and feel so bless to have been around when they were..magic, pure magic....
Impossible to argue with that..
I've been excited about a lot of record finds over the years but nothing could ever top that feeling I had traveling home from the record shop with that new Beatles record in my hand... You may recall in those days the radio stations had been playing it for days before you could actually get your grubby little hands on it.. And when ya did? Maximum coolness...
