First LPs i ever owned (though didnt purchase myself) were The Beatles Hard Days Night and Live at Shea Stadium.. i actually know the day I received them, Dec 9th 1980, becuase i woke up that day curious about all the fuss going on in NYC and why anybody cared who John Lennon was.. So after school i had those two albums waiting for me along with a coffee table book about the group.. That was a little over 40 years ago now, and life has never been the same.
