It also had "Baby Love" and "Come see about Me" on it. I think it cost a whole 3 dollars, which when I was 9 in 1964 seemed a veritable fortune.

After that, I scrimped and did chores to earn money for "Rubber Soul" and "Aftermath", not to mention the 45s that sucked up all my allowance. I grew up on Motown and Brit Invasions, taking for granted music would always be awesome.

I still love it in my dotage: I'm happy when a new musical movement freaks out the established genre, like Punk in the 70s and Grunge in the 90s. I also love 80s Hip Hop, that stuff was amazing! But nothing matches the first feelings of bliss when I was a child and discovered the radio!
