I played the crap out of both of those, my cat scratched up the jackets,
and by the time I was done with vinyl they weren't worth doodly. They
ended up in the garbage with Shatner's "The Transformed Man" and (sadly)
Segovia and my favorite recording of the Brandenberg Concerti. My
husband's musical taste is a little more mainstream than mine; I believe
he's got some Beatles on CD and maybe downloaded from Itunes.

I had Beatlemania just like all of the girls in my cohort, even though
overall I wasn't a fan of rock music.
