Uhm.. hello.. I’m rather terrible at introductions so bear with me please 🙂 

 

I’m a 20-year old Beatlemaniac from Italy. My mum’s a Beatles fan as well and it’s her who introduced me to their music when I was around 6. I had a blank period during school time with lots of homework and was more or less hiding my love for the Beatles due to my classmates laughing at it (if I could go back I’d probably punch them but what’s done is done) since it’s “something for old people and outdated in general”.  Finally I managed to let my “true self” out in a way during my last years at high school and bought my first guitar 3 years ago after my enlightening study holiday in Japan. Right there I found myself in a music shop and came across a shelf full of Beatles music and the love got back again. This time though it was stronger than before. 

It started off with me downloading everything I could from YouTube (somehow Beatles’ stuff there keeps disappearing, that’s why I downloaded it) so I could listen to them on the plane on the way to the US and back. It then continued with my purchase of the Beatles A Hard Day’s Night Album CD 2009 in Austin and it ended up with a lovely English lady that I will probably be thanking for my whole life who sent me 5 of their original 1963/1964 singles (From Me To You , She loves you, I Want To Hold Your Hand , Can’t Buy Me Love and I feel fine)  for free after I won her 1963 black/gold 1st pressing of Please Please Me at an eBay auction by miracle.

I then went on to buy some Beatles Monthly Books as soon as I discovered they were produced with the Beatles and the people who were with them during tours. I currently have 23 of them but I am not sure if all of them are originals yet as there’s been some identical 1970’s reprints and I found no useful guide to spot the differences between an original and the reprints. I’m planning on reading one every month though since I want to recreate the original suspense for the “new” month edition each month that fans felt back then 😀 

As to my favourite Beatle… I really can’t choose between John and George. I mean, John’s quick wit and George’s calm attitude, you can’t get better than that ? ? ? I do wish they were still here though.. I’ve never even met them and they’re obviously not from my family but for some reason it’s as if one of my family members passed away so I miss them all the same 🙁 

Lastly, if any of my ex classmates were to read this (I doubt it but you never know), my dear ex classmates, if only you had an inch of the Beatles’ style, both musical and fashion and hairstyle, you would most certainly be better people 😉

That’s all! 🙂 I hope I wasn’t too boring or wrote too much haha 😀   

@BeatleSoul, you are just so far ahead of your classmates. They will wake up out of their foggy haze one of these days and hear the music.

You are in the right place to let your Beatle wig down and Beatles as much as you want to.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks I spent in Italy in 2014. Wonderful scenery and awesome food!
