As a 71 year old first generation fan , I love everything you've said about The Beatles, One of my greatest memories that I can still see in my minds eye is walking to my local record store to buy the I Want To Hold Your Hand single and as I walked in , I stopped to stare at the Beatles "Rocking Heads" display in their Beatles window , God that was so cool !!
I wished I had the foresight to ask the store manager if I could have it when they were done with it LOL , I know you'll have a wonderful time enjoying your new records ...
What a wonderful memory. I like to think that someone still has that old display. What an amazing time to grow up. ♥️ Thank you for sharing that. Take care.
I'm 70 years old and have been a Beatles fan since the early weeks of 1964! Saw them with my family on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9th February 1964. My Dad got tickets for my Mom, sister, cousin and me for the show at Shea Stadium in NYC on 15th August 1965. The newly mixed Red and Blue albums with the song "Now and Then" sound magnificent. My family is gone, but I love sharing my love of The Fab Four. ❤
Oh wow! You certainly have some awesome memories. I'm sorry for your losses. I hope The Beatles reminds you of the wonderful times you were able to experience. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
later i would do that whenever a album was released witha great cover they had big posters in the window and i asked if i could come and get it after they take it from the store window, some were already asked and others i brought them home to display in my living room when younger, when Iron maiden released their second album with bruce dickinson i had a big poster of the band menbers sitting in a traditional big table and inside the silver platter was a big brain for them to eat and i put it almost from the ceiling to the floor on my living room ,friends would ask if i was a metal head to wich i would reply, "from now on i will only listen to heavy metal" they were amazed but i had already lot´s of old rock bands and after i heard the number of the beast album when it came out from a older cousin i would start to listen more and more to that album and piece of mind i bought it as it was released, later i bought the first two with paul dianno at the vocals and the other day someone was saying that the sound of the record was horrible ,well it was perfect still sounded like 70´s production of rock bands don´t know where the guy on youtube get a bad recorded copy and at the time i started to buy more heavy rock bands like metallica first and second album ,where they look like kids but heard loud those records are incredible, i remenber them playing a concert in a summer festival after Elton John, in his Nikita phase, nikita and after for whom the bells tools, it mixes perfect the two diferent sounds,(it comes some minuts in a home video released by metallica when clif burdon died in a very unlucky way). I only had seen Elton John in 72 and in 76 ,it was like a calm guy with melody for a crazy drug adict guy with lot´s of quality playing the piano very fast, today maybe they have to build piano´s with larger keys so he´s fingers would fit
i think better only jerry lee lewis in early 70´s
One of my favorite scenes on the old show "Mad Men" is when Don Draper tells his daughter Sally (who is upset with him at the moment) that he got her tickets to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium. Her reaction is so genuine to the way a teenage girl in the 1960s might have reacted czcams.com/video/3Fn_Zrrc_0Q/video.html
I was born in 59 so I was 5 when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. I still remember watching that show as I was sitting on the back of the couch in our living room and banging on the cushions to the beat of the music. It’s the reason I became a musician! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeaaaaah!🎸 I also ordered the colored vinyl, love it!
That's such a cool memory. You are very fortunate. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
I’m one of those old baby boomers who lived through the Beatles era of the 1960’s when each new Beatles release became a worldwide event, and that is no exaggeration. It’s a lasting memory for sure. Enjoyed your review. Nice job.
I always used to envy baby boomers for living when the Beatles and the Stones were active. I am Gen X and was born in the late 70`s. I got into the Beatles when i was 10 years old, and i`ve LOVED them ever since. I`ve seen Paul McCartney twice in concert, and i had the time of my life.
You are a very fortunate person. What wonderful memories they must be. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
great review. Seen McCartney twice here in Denmark and the Stones once. Paul's events touched me like crazy. The Stones left me cold for some reason.@@yellyman5483
I am an old Baby boomer myself, born in 1953, so I grew up with them as well. Saw them on Ed Sullivan and must have watch the movie Hard Day's Night a dozen times when it came out. What I guess surprises me is that even today 60 years after their first releases people is how their music still affects people. I once heard one young person in a super market saying to her friend, how she wished she had been around back then when they first came out😃
@@coleparker Got you beat by 3 years, Cole. I was 13 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. I have the vivid memory of my entire family in front of the TV set to watch the band perform. It was quite the event. I had just purchased the “Meet The Beatles” album a few days before. I still have it to this day. But then, I have them all.
The remixes are largely superb and the CD’s sound great to me
I agree. 🤗♥️ Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
Blue album sounds mostly bad. Only a handful of remixes are any good. The rest sound saturated with bass and lack high endcdynamics...very poor imo.
@@lionheartroar3104YOU ARE SO UNGRATEFUL ....CAN I HAVE THE ALBUMS PLEASE,I WILL BUY THEM CYEAPER FROM YOU AS YOU THINK THEY ARE POOR...AND I CAN;T AFFORD THEM AT THOSE PRICES ....YOU PEOPLE DO NOT APPRECIATED A BRILLIANT JOB GILES DID HERE,MAN ...AS I SAID....YOU ARE SO SELFISH AND UNGRATEFUL 👍🤔😠
I have 4 different pressings of those albums and one CD set. And at first I though do I really need another copy. But shortly after I broke down and ordered the coloured vinyls. I grew up with the Beatles since I was 7 and watched them change the world with their music. I can't imagine that happening again for a long long time. It was an amazing piece of history. I'm waiting for my copy to arrive and am just as thrilled as the first Beatles record I bought as a child. I am so grateful to be have lived in that time period and experienced it.
You grew up in an amazing time. 🤗♥️ There will never be another band like this. Thank you and take care.
FACTS MELINDA💖😱😱😱😱😱😭😭😭🎵🎵🎵🐐🐐🐐🐐
You bought coloured albums, not vinyls. That’s isn’t even a word but a millennial term so you lost your boomer cred!😊
@@flyingburritobro68I would say coloured records. Im 57 BTW 🎸
coloured are not vinyl but wax, and by that time was wax for sure, and till today that i had heard of are still made of wax
The best thing about growing up with The Beatles was getting the music in real time and being able to listen over and over and enjoy it for a few months until the next album came out and blew our minds all over again. Love the hoodie! My colored box will be here soon.
You grew up in the most incredible time. I wish I could have been there. Thank you and I hope you enjoy your new records. Thank you and take care.
The Red Album was the first record I ever bought with my own money. 9 years old, from Ayr-Way in Evansville. Devoured it. Subsequently bought the rest of their catalog from there. Had 'em all (U.S. albums) by the time I reached high school. 48 years later The Beatles are still comfort food for my ears.
Oh wow! I used to go shopping at Ayr Way in Evansville as well. That was so long ago. I think they are Target stores today but I could be wrong. Thank you and take care.
The red 1962/66 album was my entry point into The Beatles back when I was 16 in 1982. So I will always have an emotional connection to this album. I agree about some of the remixes....I like the fact George has more of his songs included on the albums. With Or Without you is a highlight on the Sgt Pepper album. Love the Beatles hoody by the way. Keep well.
Thank you for the compliment. The red album is wonderful - so many great songs. ♥️ More George Harrison is always a good thing. Thank you and take care.
i think that never happened and George had lot´s of the best Beatles songs but never putted asside or please enlight me about it, and in music sound in cd the bass that was singular played by sir paul isn´t heard
It really was exciting to hear those records as they were released. Since radio was central to everything then, there was always excitement whipped up by radio DJs to mark each release as special event. When I was 13 a local station played each side of The Beatles (white album) uninterrupted, and I sat next to the console stereo in wrapt attention as the rest of the family watched whatever they were watching on television. To this day it remains my favourite Beatles album...
What an incredible memory. I wish I was alive to experience that. Thank you and take care.
Love your channel, Melinda! I grew up with the Beatles. I remember sitting around the TV with my parents and sisters for the first of three Ed Sullivan shows in February 1964, waiting giddily for Ed Sullivan to say "Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles" Amidst the screams of delight from the audience, they broke into "All My Loving" It was incredible! Goose bumps! Then, later that year, on September 13, 1964, on my 14th birthday, I saw the Beatles live in Baltimore, MD. A birthday I will never forget! The Beatles have always been the soundtrack of my life, even now at 73 years young! I just received my box set and am even more super-excited to listen to it after your review! Thanks for everything you bring to our vinyl community. BEATLES FOREVER!!
Wow! You grew up in the best time for music. If only I could time travel. ♥️ I'm happy that you have such wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
I bought them both on vinyl as well.Very happy with my purchase!Excellent pressings (black vinyl is what I got).Love the sweatshirt!
I'm so glad to hear you are happy with it as well. I have no regrets ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
The Red/Blue album is the most important album in my Beatles history. My brother bought the Red/Blue cassettes in the mid 80s. I knew of the Beatles, heard their songs but never really listened to them. I listened to those cassettes ad nauseam. I bought all the Beatles cassettes then the cds, then the new cds, then the new, new cds. I'm looking forward to the new new new cds. Great video!
I have bought the vinyl versions over and over again as well. I don't regret buying these. ♥️🤗 They are great. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
I’m probably going to get the red for the remixes, that’s all the pre-Help! Beatles I need. Giles does a great job.
I think it's worth having. Thank you! 🤗♥️
Hi Melinda, Thank you, for another interesting video. Glad you got the new blue and red vinyl.
I just got the new, Beatles’s, single “7’, ‘Now and Then’, on blue vinyl.
Tune in next time.
Take Care.🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
The blue vinyl version is so pretty. 🤗🩵 Thank you and take care.
My mother got me into the Beatles when i was 9 with the red album. But my aunt got me into their later era when i was 12 with the blue album and it changed my life. Appreciate your review. 👍
You must have had a very smart mom and aunt. ♥️ Thank you for sharing your memories. Take care.
I was 10 when the boys did Ed Sullivan. From I Want to Hold Your Hand to She’s So Heavy I grew up with them. I remember the day Sgt. Pepper came out. What an incredible experience…. Lyrics printed, inserts, cool album liner…. And knowing millions of others were also listening to it the first time. Wow! I was very fortunate to experience them. And now a new tune!
Wow! What incredible memories. ♥️🤗 You are very fortunate. Thank you and take care.
You are very lucky, when they were on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time in February 1964,it was 5 months before I was even conceived!
But I started collecting their albums at age 9, I got my first Beatles book for my 11th birthday,and I had all of their albums by age 13.
Nice looking box. Glad you were able to add another set of Red & Blue albums to your collection!
Haha! It definitely wasn't something I needed but I am overall very pleased. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend. ♥️🤗
I can’t wait until my box set gets here. I had seen all the bad pre-arrival videos blasting this release, but I was undeterred. I’m so glad I went with my gut. I had these on cassette back in the day, and just loved them. I have streamed the release and really like most of the mixes and just can’t wait to get my vinyl colored set. Like you, many of these songs represent special moments throughout my life. I cannot imagine another band having that much individual talent and influence.
Good for you. I doubt you will have any regrets picking these up. The Beatles made so many classic hits. Thank you and take care.
Thanks for your view, Melinda! I can't wait to listen to them when I get my copies next week.
Thank you very much! ♥️🤗
And I'm with you about how the Beatles influenced and touch me. I was born in the late sixties. So I've gone through a hell of a lot of different types of music I've embraced (and dropped to varying degrees) - glam rock, disco, punk, ska, post punk, new romantic, new wave, various indie darlings like the Smiths, and finally onto acid house and rave.
Yet despite going crazy for these and then souring somewhat on some, the Beatles have ALWAYS been something that never once diminished for me. They've been with me since my very first memories of music. I can still recal the smell of the old valve Dansette record player and a couple of the Beatles EPs I would play as a mere three year old.
I love what you said. The Beatles truly never go out of style. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
I can't wait to hear those remixes! I didn't know Giles Martin had remixed and expanded those old favorites - The "Red" and "Blue" Beatles collections turned on an entire new generation of Beatles fans back in 1973 - I remember Wings' "Red Rose Speedway" was released at the same time and Paul grumped about lost sales - I'm so glad Giles Martin has the keys to The Beatles Archive - I'm sure he reads his Dad's notes on all the recordings which is something nobody else would do - Great video Melinda as always❤See you next week!
I'm sure Giles Martin does read everything his dad wrote. It must be very cool to be walking in his dad's shoes. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Loved this Melinda. Sharing your person stories always adds to you presentations. They are fun box sets. ✌🏻
Thank you Mazzy. I look forward to watching your video soon. You did write the book (or one of them) on The Beatles. ♥️ Take care.
Now & Then nailed me in the heart too😢! I was 11 years old when they played the Hollywood Bowl. Didn’t get to go, Dad didn’t want to spring for the $5 Hollywood Bowl seat ticket!
Thanks for your video. I was going to buy it but because of your video I’m rushing out to get it…!!
Thanks again-
BEATLES FOR EVER!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🤗♥️ I'm sure if your dad only knew, he would have bought those tickets. Take care.
These albums are my very first memory of having the "do I really need them" argument in my own head. I already had the standard red and blue albums, and then in the mid-late 70's I think it was, when I was around 15/16 they came out on red and blue colored vinyl. Being a teenager I had very little money but I ended up buying them anyway because, ya know, I just had to...🙂
Exactly! 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
I LOVED the re-mixes. I listened through both the red and blue today, and it was amazing. There were some odd choices on there, like "Roll over Beethoven" "You`ve really got a hold on me" and etc. The mix of "She loves you" was the only bad one for me. The rest is good.
I thought the same for She Loves You. My least favorite too. Kind of quiet & not powerful, also had a tad of distortion. It was interesting the stereo effect though. It's not terrible, but the other songs pop a lot more than this song.
I agree. For the most part, I'm happy with it. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
@@MelindaMurphy Thank you for making this video. You have deep insight and knowlegde that i highly appreciate. As far as "She loves you" which is one of my favorite Beatles songs. "She loves you" did the same thing for the Beatles in Europe that "I want to hold your hand " did for the Beatles in the U.S. It created beatle mania in Europe. Suddenly over night people were screaming their heads off at their concerts, and they were met by thousands whenever they arrived at a airport. The original version of "She loves you" is so vital and energetic. The re-mix destroyed the energy, and made is sound quiet too me. That is why i prefer the original version to this. I know people who have the original vinyl single from 1963 and it sounds AMAZING. But that is the only criticism i have of the red album. I agree with your points on the blue album. "Magical mystery tour" did not sound good at all. "The fool on the hill" was ok. Many people have complained about "I am the the walrus" as well. But overall, i really enjoyed the blue album. Its the Beatles. How could you not love a greatest hits compilation by them. Their new song "Now and then" has gone to no.1 in both the UK, and in Germany, and is no.1 on the Billboard download chart. The only reason for why it is not a no.1 on the actual Billboard hot hundred is that it is not played on the radio in the U.S. which is sad. It is set on high rotation on the radio in the U.K. and in Germany and other European countries. Anyway. Thank you for making this video, and for sharing you thoughts. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for the great review! Put this on my Xmas list, hopefully Santa thinks I've been a good boy this year.
I appreciate all the detailed info, and your reflections on the music and what it means to you. Thank you!
I hope Santa brings this to you. 🤗♥️ Thank you for the kind words. Take care. ♥️🤗
When I was a kid, I found the blue album someone was chucking out in the trash by the curb in the 'hood. The album cover is a bit beat up but the vinyl plays perfect to this day.
What a great story. I'm so glad you saved that treasure. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
I played all 4 CDs last night and this morning. Absolutely fantastic. I’m still not sure if I like the ending to I Am The Walrus, however
I'm not a fan of the way they ended that song. The sound quality picked up a little though. The beginning was just flat. Thank you and take care.
I appreciate this thoughtful review. The original Beatles recordings are actually superb. I feel no pressing need to listen to remastered versions myself. Plus, owning the original albums kind of makes this greatest hits release superfluous . I'd rather listen to the songs in the way they were supposed to be heard, as part of an album. ❤
I completely understand. That makes perfect sense. Thank you and take care.
To be fair, many of the songs were not on an actual album.
Good day Melinda,
I follow you from Paris in France, and I thank you very much for this great and always sincere video.
I saw some bad reviews, which really made me hesitate, but I know a little about your sensitivity and I relate to it, I am going to order my box as I had planned, I no longer have any hesitation thanks to you. THANK YOU !
Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Take care. ♥️🤗
Melinda I bought them as well! I lived through the Beatles I was a fan from 1964 aged 4 😆 I agree people my age still tell me we lived at the right time musically! My favourite band is the Stranglers I was 16 when I discovered them!! But the Beatles first band I loved!!
Great stuff Melinda
You are very fortunate to live at that time. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Also, I do love coloured vinyl especially these days. There's a lot of ones I love the colurs of - the Kraftwerk reissues, Killing Joke 12"s, but there's one that really plays with my mind- David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs". The red colour is so perfect but it's the same shade as Strawberry Bootlace candy, so I REALLY REALLY want to eat it.
Haha! The red vinyl is perfect. Thank you and take care.
crunchycool.i sawthe killing joke reissue today had the yellow record forget title and a few 12 inch ones
@@marktait2371 My favourite one is the Record Store Day reissue of "Turn to Red". Not only one of my true favourite tunes, but it's a really lovely translucent red that's something else.
From 1960 I just missed the Beatles craze by 10 years but they are my favorite band. The Stones has a great collection of songs. But you're lucky to find 2 great songs on their albums while you'll only get 2 middle of road the songs on any Beatles album. As you say, it's almost overwhelming with that many great songs. I have listened to so many scratched Beatles albums and bought some of them 2 or 3 times that I'm 100% for CD's.
I still enjoy the fake stereo of the old songs but I must say that overall these remixes sound great, they sound fresh, cleaner and more up date. I was surprised though, that they didn't remove the background noise on Day Tripper (its gone on 1+ and Past Masters second edition). How could they leave it there? Hard to believe they didn't notice. I've never noticed it before but with the remix I maybe listened more carefully. It is very obvious. And with the AI tech - a piece of cake to remove it... hmmm But, that is a very small detail.
My only true disappointment is that Free as a bird and Real Love are not included.
Now & Then makes me cry every time I hear or see it. That has never happened before. But all the youtubers also cry......I think it's absolutely beautiful. It certainly reminds us what we have been missing for the paste 50+ years. And then to realize they can still do a great #1 song. That is unbelieveable but testimony to their class. Perhaps Now & Then will turn out to the the ultimate love song? it touches so many strings in the human experience and existence.
What's next? I hope for special editions of their remaining albums. In particular Rubber Soul. And perhaps an update with another Anthology disc.
Now and Then is very emotional. ♥️ I agree that Free As A Bird and Real Love should have been included. Thank you and take care.
Melinda, you are so articulate on camera. Loved your review of these albums. I wasn't planning on buying them, however my original red and blue are pretty worn so now its off to the record store with that push from your review. Cheers
If you did buy them, I hope you are enjoying them. Thank you for the kind words. Take care. 🤗♥️
Aahhh…love the additions to both collections. Thanks for the heads up abut them! Another splendid video Melinda. Thanks!
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
I haven't received my box set yet and I was at first not going to buy them since I have the vinyl red and blue I bought in 1973 and the the CD versions I bought in 1993. But after watching the official video of making "Now And Then" I had to get the blue 7" and the 2023 box set. Hearing how they were able to separate John's voice from that cassette recording blew my mind, and hearing him alone is rather heart rending.
What they were able to do is incredible. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Really nice sweatshirt, especially the back - looks great on you! So glad you're having a good time with this, and it was fun to see this colored vinyl edition for the very first time! Who is better than Giles to remix these? Paul Hicks, for my money!
Thank you for the kind compliment Joe. I consider you a Beatles expert and if you say Paul Hicks is a better choice, I will trust you on that. ♥️🤗 Have a wonderful weekend.
Love your commentary and review - but I have to say, Magical Mystery Tour and I Am The Walrus are two of my favorite remixes. All these new remixes, like all recent ones, are my go to mixes from now on. Definitive for me. Great hoodie by way!!
Depends on the quality of your equipment - and ears!
Equipment is premium and ears are sharp. lol. All I listen to is new indie , and The Beatles for over 50 years. Thanks for caring. @@stevena9305
Thank you for the kind compliments. I'm probably not in the majority when it comes to those remixes. Obviously, Giles Martin and those involved were happy with them too. 🤗 Thank you and take care.
I was kind of not looking forward to buying this set, but I did. I got the CD's, and I really find it worth while, I really like the new mixes, makes the music sound fresh & different. I really like the Red album a lot, it's nice not having all the vocals panned to one speaker, that right there is a big plus. The sound quality is very good, I am pleasantly surprised by these albums, so a big thumbs up! I was born in late 1959, so I did get to witness a lot of the Beatles mania, even though a little young, collected 45's by them at the time, I remember them appearing on the Ed Sullivan show, but not allowed to watch it, past bedtime. I did listen to it though, I listened through the heater grate, lol. I did get the albums Abbey Road & Let It Be in real time. Thanks for your content Melinda!
I wish I had the memories of seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Wow! I agree that these, especially the red album sound so good. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Beautiful Review! It's hard I think of what to say that already hasn't been said already. I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Have a fun weekend. ♥️🤗
Beautiful!!! Oh, and very cool sweatshirt! 🙂 Love hearing your thoughts on the songs of this re-release.
Thank you very much! 🤗♥️
An excellent analysis of these albums. Thank you.
Thank you very much! ♥️🤗
I have the original releases of these two album sets, along with remastered copies that were released years later. I am a Beatles fan, and do have all of their albums. So now I question myself, how many copies/versions of these songs do I really want or need? The box set you shared with us today (colored vinyl) is what I consider to be very expensive, for music I already have in my library. Knowing you are a true and dedicated fan of the Beatles, you also hold the sentimental value of having these in your collection. I get it! Bravo to you for making this purchase, and may you enjoy the music for a long time to come! 👏😁👍
I have the same struggles as you and almost didn't buy this set. I do have an emotional connection to the music but I still ask myself how many copies of their albums I truly need. Thank you and take care.
Great video ! I think it’s impressive to be a young beatles fan like yourself ! You explain very well why they are so appealing!
Thank you very much. ♥️🤗
I was already married when The Beatles made it big so we had very little money to buy records. A forgotten group of the same era is The Mama's and Pappas had an album called The Mama's And Pappas Deliver. If you ever get to hear it, go for it! It's a fantastic album!
And great job on this video!
Tell me about it! Loved John Phillip’s songs. He was amazing!
Thank you. The harmonies of The Mamas and the Papas were so beautiful. ♥️ Thank you for the suggestion. Take care.
Lovely video. Love these remixes especially the red album
I agree about the red album. Thank you very much. 🤗♥️
Not sure what is more beautiful these new vinyl packages or Melinda iin that lovely sweatshirt!
Good featture Beatles still never bettered by any other band
Awww! Thank you very much. 🤗♥️ The Beatles were the best. Take care.
DARLING ...NOW AND THEN ISN;T GOOD !...IT IS MAGICAL, AWESOME (SPECIALLY BACKED UP WITH THAT MAGICAL ORCHESTRA)😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🔥💥💖🎵😭😭😭😭✌️🙏...IT MADE ME CRY,MAN
I do love the beautiful music. ♥️
Great review Melinda ! I have been listening to these and I agree some good some not so good. But overall it’s a great collection. Thank you.
I agree. Overall, I'm quite happy and will play these a lot. Thank you and take care.
Love your passion !
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
Excellent review, I love all of their music even if it has been altered by others some 50 years later. I will buy this box set like I have with anything that comes out with their name.😊
In the end, I couldn't resist either. Thank you and take care.
Melinda, we will love them together.
Melinda, The Beatles in my opinion are the Best Band Ever!!!! I'm 53, I have a older brother (9 years older than me) he got me into the Beatles at a early age. I remember (I had to be 7 or 8 years old) and he would come home late at night and wake me up and show me the Let It Be album and quiz me on who John Paul Ringo and George was LOL! I'm a Zepp and Doors, Van Halen, Queensryche guy but The Beatles are always number 1. Love your Beatles hoodie! Looks great on you!. All the best to you and your husband! Love your Channel! Oh! I just got the MoFi Studiodeck! replaced my old ATLP120, Holy Crap it is Amazing!! Thought my LP's sounded good but now I hear things I never knew existed. Just Amazing! I'm a John guy, my wife is a Paul girl. John is a little more gritty in my opinion.
I'm so glad you love your MoFi Studiodeck. I love my MoFi speakers as well. ♥️ What wonderful memories to have of your brother and The Beatles. Thank you and take care.
It’s better to have than to have not. I used to own the Red and Blue LPs. Now I will buy the new CDs package set. It’s really a greatest hits compilation.
Yes, the Beatles are the best. My favorite band is still the Police who I saw live.
However, I do love the Beatles too! 😊
The Police are incredible. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy Thanks for the reply. Every Breath You Take has been played literally a Billion times on the Internet. Even the Beatles don’t have that record. I love all their 5 albums. Especially Regatta and Zenyatta. Synchronicity was great too and they ended on a peak.
The Doors are also a band that I love. Starting with a brilliant debut album and ending with the incredible L.A. Woman album. What a career!
I also love Led Zeppelin. They didn’t put out a bad album either. Amazing band!
Those are my views and opinions. You take care too!
I like Eddie Van Halen’s guitar 🎸 playing. He was a genius! It’s sad that he’s gone now but he left quite a legacy.
Like you, I’m a second generation Beatles fan. I was 6 when the broke up, but started buying their records in the mid-to-late 70s, right up to today. I also sprung for the color vinyl box, though mine hasn’t arrived yet. I listened to streaming versions of some the new mixes and think your analysis is spot-on. Overall good to very good, but the MMT mixes left me wanting. I guess they can;t all be winners, but overall a good package, from what I’ve heard so far.
I love the MMT album so that was a bit of a disappointment. Overall, they did a great job. The vinyl is beautiful and quiet. ♥️ I think you'll be pleased. Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy Thanks, can’t wait.✌️
I have the vinyl six pack coming.
I’ll report if my wife doesn’t throw me out for spending, but, gee… It’s Beatles!
I like the Revolver Giles M mix to the extent that Revolver finally has a soundstage. Sounds glorious on some songs and at least only slightly regrettable on others. ✌️
I agree. Giles Martin gets a lot of things right but has a few missteps. For the most part I am happy with his work. Best wishes with your wife. Lol. I completely understand. Thank you and take care.
Good Morning Melinda 🌞 - I am enjoying my Blue & Red Redux reissues very much 👍
I'm so glad to hear that. Take care. 😳
Hi Melinda,
Great review! My colored vinyl set is out for delivery today. I did pick up the CD’s on Friday because I couldn’t wait. Could not go to sleep until hearing all. Loved every song in its own new way. Can’t wait for the warm vinyl. First Generation life long fan from the first night I saw them on Ed Sullivan. Yes, so lucky to have witnessed the show. Don’t feel bad, you will be around a lot longer to see what The Beatles hold for the future. Thank you.
Oh wow! You lived through some amazing times. What a historic moment to see them on The Ed Sullivan Show. ♥️ I hope you have the records by now and they make you happy. Thank you and take care.
I have the original red and blue albums, but i think it is worth getting them again as it is nice to have the third disc with extra tracks and the coloured vinyl looks very nice.
Also the sweatshirt looks really cool.
I agree. I have no regrets. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
I'm getting mine today. The previous versions of these were from analog masters but can't wait to hear stereo versions of early Beatles. Ive been a Beatles fan since my mom got me US hard day's night from a chain store called " 2 Guys"...back in 1980...lol
Cheers!
I hope you enjoy the new mixes. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Great video Melinda! Love the sweat shirt! Like you mentioned, they will always be the greatest band ever. They were so ahead of their time. Hope all is well, and hope you and family are having a great weekend! 🥰🥰🥰☮
I have been sick this weekend but I appreciate the kind wishes. 🤗 Thank you for the kind compliment. The Beatles were the best. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy Hope you feel better soon. Best wishes always. ♥
Nothing better then listening to something and having an emotional connection to the music. I don’t have that connection with the Beatles but I appreciate those that do. It doesn’t matter who the group or artist is, it’s the connection that they creat with you is what is most important
I agree with you Steve. The Beatles have a few songs that are very touching. My dad wanted In My Life played at his funeral so that one brings that all up for me. It was also touching to hear Paul play a solo in the way he thought his dear friend George would. It's hard to believe Paul is in his 80's and still does everything he does. ♥️ Thank you and have a great week.
I owed you a comment on this Melinda... I remember Abbey Road being brand new. I was 11 years old. My next door neighbor's older brother bought a copy and I remember asking him about it. A very cool Beatles memory. You did great here. Your love of the group was very moving for me. The Beatles red was the catalyst for my full blown Beatlemania. Blessings for you and the family. 🥰
Thank you Rachel. I'm envious that you grew up when they were still together and Abbey Road was brand new. I guess if there is a downside, you also had to live through their break up. That must have been hard on their first generation fans. Thank you and blessings to you and Sue. ♥️
I just got my colored vinyl box set version delivered today and was so impressed with how high quality and heavy duty the whole package is. Nice, glossy thick cardstock jackets and a hardbox outer slipcase with foil lettering. Gorgeous!
I'm glad to hear you're a happy customer. 🤗 Thank you and take care.
I have been a Beatles fan since I was 3 yrs old in 1963 I'm now 62 yrs old, thanks to my dad with a reel to reel tape recorder that , he used to tape the Beatles on the top 40 in the uk the weekly charts as well as 60s music as well , that's my greatest gift my late father ever gave me in my life 🥰🙏🏻🎸🎸🎸🥁🎤 but the greatest band since the Beatles, was Queen and Freddie Mercury, my favourite British band is QUEEN and then the Beatles, these are my favourite bands, I was lucky to of met the band and saw them in concert with Freddie Mercury
It must have been great to grow up with The Beatles. I love Queen as well. Freddie was an unbelievable singer. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
I’ve been waiting to see if you would do a reaction video. I’m glad that you did! Great review. Of the older songs, “A Hard Day’s Night” really grabbed me-if you listen with headphones, you get to hear Ringo’s impressive drumming in a way that we’ve never heard before. And I would agree with you about Magical Mystery Tour and I am the Walrus-they also seemed flat to me.
I'm glad we get to hear Ringo better in these remixes. ♥️ Walrus is definitely the biggest disappointment. Thank you and take care.
Excellent review Melinda!
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
I ordered it and it's being delivered. Can't wait. Yahoo!!!!!
Very cool! I hope you enjoy it. Take care.
Awesome video & review,Melinda!!!
Thank you very much! ♥️🤗
Welcome!
Hello Melinda I love the sweatshirt by the way. The colored versions does really look cool. I just purchased the 12 inch single and enjoying the single at the moment. This new release would be an interesting comparison with the originals even though it is like comparing apples to oranges so to speak as they are totally not the same. Anyways great video as always. Too bad your husband is not chiming in on this video. Would love to see his take on this box set. Take care!
The 12" single would be great to have for sound quality. ♥️ Thank you for the kind words. Take care.
I listened to it last night and almost cried. The remix was unbelievable. They separated the guitars which brought out the difference. The vocals were clear.i'm totally in awe of how they did it. Great video. Take care.❤
Hey Mike! I agree. Most of these remixes are very well done. It makes me excited for Rubber Soul. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
The RS tracks are the stars of the show. RS is best in MONO. However, with demixing technology, it’s possible that a Stereo remix may surpass Mono
Appreciate the review. Interesting that another "reviewer" was sharing how great Magical Mystery Tour sounded now. Basically, it seems to come down to each listener's taste and no song, no matter how good it is, will please everyone. Thanks again.
I agree. It's our own personal tastes in combination with our stereo equipment. It's very subjective. Thank you and take care.
Great review Melinda as always, it's nice to see The Beatles and The Stones at the top of the charts with Taylor, wow, who would've thunk? Hope you and your family have great Veterans day, The 11th hour of the 11th day, of the 11th month. Peace.
It's cool to see these incredible bands on the charts again. Thank you! 🤗♥️
I've ordered the same version and am still waiting for it. I'm glad the quality is good. Yes I'm looking forward most to hearing the 2023 mixes of the red album. I also believe I'm going to have to play Now And Then on my next show. Thanks for the video.
The vinyl was silent and the quality is great. I hope you enjoy them. Thank you and take care.
they look amazing. even though im not a big Beatles fan i still appreciate the review melinda 👍your sweatshirt looks great beautiful melinda
Thank you for the kind compliment. Have a great day!
@MelindaMurphy you're welcome beautiful melinda
For someone "fairly new" to The Beatles, you just did a remarkable in-depth review of Red & Blue. I grew up with Van Halen too--along with the other rock bands of the era. But I've been a Beatles fan since the mid-70's. I heard of them earlier than that, of course. But I was too young to really appreciate them back in my early elementary days. But once I got my first Beatle album (Revolver), I became an instant huge fan that my mother often wondered what had happened to me. I was collecting everything Beatles, may it be magazines, newspaper clippings, books, t-shirts, their solo albums, videos, etc. As the saying goes: you can't keep a good band down. And I'm still enjoying my ticket to ride till this very day. All we need is love, folks.❤️🤍💙💚
Great comments and play on words. ♥️ Thank you for the sweet compliment. Take care.
Thanks for showing the new vinyl Melinda, mine has shipped along with the other 3 coloured 45's and the 12 inch single
Wow! Very exciting! I hope you love them. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
HI MELINDA GREAT REVIEW AND FOR SHOWING THE BEATLES RED AND BLUE VINYL BOX SET. I AM WAITING FOR MINE THRU THE MAIL. ENJOY AND TAKE CARE. 😊
I hope your copy arrives very soon. I think you will like it. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
Coloured vinyl set was same price as black set in U.K. However it was/is a limited edition and sold out in about 2 hours after release (LE set only available on Beatles official shop).
That's cool. I had to pay extra for mine. 🤔 Oh well. I have been told it's sold out here as well. Thank you and take care.
As well as I Want You She's So Heavy I wish Yer Blues had been on there too.
That would have been a nice addition. Thank you and take care.
I want that hoodie! Looks great on you too! I already have the vinyl the black version anyway
Thank you very much! It's available at The Beatles Store website. Take care.
Nice review, I am going to get these eventually. I grew up on these records and I have a late 70's issue with the blue Capitol labels on the 67-70 and the more recent EU set from 2014 of the 62-66. I like the additional songs on each of the new ones. Looks like a nice boxset. Great video and take care!
If you wait, the black vinyl versions will most likely go on sale. Great music. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Thank you so much for your wonderful from the heart review. I can tell how much you love this music, as I do too. The Beatles are in my DNA, they are so much part of my life and I grew up listening to the Red album and still have my original 1973 UK pressing and that album is such a musical touchstone for me. I like you, was really unsure that I needed yet another copy of both of these brilliant albums and in the end went for the CD versions, but really wanted the red and blue vinyl versions. I have really enjoyed listening to the CDs this weekend and they sound great, but I just know that I will end up buying the red and blue vinyl versions as they just look so beautiful. And you reminded me that it’s all about what the heart wants and not the head. Your review was so heartfelt and honest and I agree entirely on your views on Giles Martin’s remixes, as he has done a fantastic job, as have you with your review here.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I didn't need this box set either but I honestly do think I will be returning to it quite often.♥️ Thank you and take care.
It’s so worth it!! Sounds great on my stereo!!
I agree. I'm very pleased. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Great review! I didn’t need them either but bought BOTH black and color vinyls! Long Live The Beatles!
I understand! I have no regrets. 🤗♥️
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😀
I splurged too! I got the box set colored vinyl too! I have everyone of The Beatles Studio Albums!!
This is a beautiful box set. ♥️ The splurge was worth it. Thank you and take care.
GOT MINE TODAY , AND I LOVE IT . 🍏
Awesome! ♥️🤗
Nice overview. The Red has so much more to gain from the new technology and, for the most part, it does!
The limited edition of the color combo is enticing as the color Red/Blue/White I got in the late 70’s. Waiting on my vinyl set to arrive today as I’ve only heard it streaming on headphones so far.
The Horzu MMT remains the best!!!
I hope you will share your thoughts on this box set. Overall, I really like it and am glad I bought it after all. Thank you and have a great weekend. ♥️🤗
@@MelindaMurphyI did an overview of my streaming listening experience:

Hey Melinda , as you know I'm not much into Box Sets but as they say Never say Never. This one looks like a winner. p.s. Love Van Halen too 👍🏻
I think most people are happy with this. Overall, I am as well. Van Halen and The Beatles are wonderful. Thank you and take care.
Very cool sweatshirt!
I was kinda disappointed that they were re-releasing the colored vinyl sets since I have the original Capitol versions and grew up listening to them. I'm glad that they are different mixes and will most likely buy this set used somewhere. Great reviews as usual 👌
I have those Capital records and have no plans of letting them go. They are still beautiful, have the original mixes and the blue one is gorgeous. Thank you and take care.
Born in 64. Saw Yellow Submarine at the movies. Bought the red & blue albums when they came out. I also bought Live at the Hollywood Bowl. I enjoy hearing the remixes but, my favorite listening experience is the remastered mono set with stereo Abbey Road/Let it Be. Those were priority mixes just before pressing, so it feels like I’m getting the definitive vision but, with a bit of a modern-day tweak. It’s fun to pick out different things in the early stereo versions, but it’s also distracting at times. I like when Giles takes the chance to not pan tracks as they did back in the day …hard left and right. He’s brilliant btw… Just listen to the Love album. That said, I’m happy to see the world still talking about this most amazing band… and it’s beautiful that future generations will experience their magic in a fresh new way. Long Live The Beatles. Great review!
I agree. I gained so much respect for Giles Martin when I heard the Love album. It's incredible. For the most part, I think he is doing a wonderful job. Thank you and take care.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for your review for this box set!
The Beatles are also my all time favorite band. I was 4 or 5 when I first watched them on Ed Sullivan. My parents bought the first album “Meet The Beatles” and played it all the time. My folks even bought my brother and I Beatles wigs (yes the actually sold Beatles wigs) so we could look like a Beatle while we sang along. Not sure why I shared that. 😂
I agree with you 100%! Everything you said was absolutely true. I couldn’t have said it better myself. The Eagles are my favorite sentimental band like Van Halen is for you. But The Beatles are the greatest band of all time.
I too got emotional when I heard Now and Then but when I saw the video I was bawling. The slow fade out of The Beatles at the end just did me in. 😭
It’s not one of their best songs but in the end knowing it is the very last song we’ll ever get from them makes it more sentimental to me.
I haven’t gotten my records yet. I also ordered the colored albums. I can’t wait to get them!
Thank you for a great video. I loved everything you said about The Beatles.
You look very beautiful today and I really love the hoodie!
Btw I have something I’d like to send to you. Can I send it to the same address you gave me a few years ago?
Thanks again for this video. It means a lot.
Have a great weekend
❤️Debbie
Hello! What great memories you have of The Beatles. I bet you had so much fun wearing those wigs.♥️
Van Halen will always be my favorite band but The Beatles were definitely the best.
My address is still the same. It's very sweet of you to want to send something. Thank you in advance. ♥️🤗
I hope you enjoy your new records. The colored vinyl is beautiful. Take care.
I got the Blue album yesterday, the Red is on its way still. Overall the album sounds fantastic. The additional songs are a nice touch and make a more complete picture. For me I was floored by “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”. I have the Abbey Road box set, but in the context of this set, the song is a standout. Somehow it was like hearing the song for the first time. “Now And Then” has really grown on me. Previously I’d only heard it on CZcams or the radio, it sounds SO much better on my home equipment. Can’t wait for the Red album to show up!
Now and Then has grown on me too and sounds great on vinyl. I Want You is a classic rocker and sounds great on this set. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Thanks for the great review, Melinda. I received the red album on black vinyl yesterday; not sure I will order the blue (I too own the German pressing of Magical Mystery Tour; it's the best). I also received the red cd. I'm thrilled with most of the new mixes; there is an exception or two, but they still sound slightly better than before. The 'Revolver ' tracks sound great but seem redundant because the Revolver box set was released just months ago, it seems. The red cd sounds incredible in my car, just enjoyed it this morning.
I am a first generation Beatles fan. I never got to see them in person, though I saw Paul McCartney
about ten years ago. I'll never forget seeing 'A Hard Day's Night' in 1964 at a local theater. The girls' screams in the audience were deafening! What a great time to be alive. Thanks and take care.
It must be a wonderful memory to have seen A Hard Days Night when it was a new movie. Incredible!!! Overall, I'm happy with the remixes too. Thank you and take care.
I have both 1st original uk releases in mint condition, and i'm love my copies so much - no reissue or remastered needed here.
They sounds absolute amazing.
I absolutely understand that. Those copies would be very tough to beat. ♥️🔥 Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy U2 🤟 keep on your fantastic reviews with this amazing channel! ♥️
Thanks Melinda 🤘 the only review of this i cared to watch
That's so sweet! ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Love The Beatles, Great Review
Thank you! ♥️🤗
First, I want to congratulate you again on a fine review. Your presentation was nice and relaxed and conversational. I could hear all your words. So many CZcamsrs talk at breakneck speed, and I have to go back to get what they said. It was also very informative. Simply put, I enjoyed it, as I do all your reviews.
This is the first review of the set that I have watched because there are zillions.
I'm a huge Beatles fan. They are my favorite group. Their music changed my life. I'm fairly knowledgeable about the Beatles, and I try to add some useful information in a bit. I'll try to be as short as possible, but it's going to be hard.
I was not of the Beatles generation. I lived in a small town in thePhilippines with my parents, who were medical missionaries, from 1961-1965. So the height of Beatlemania was over, and I was only 9 1/2. We lived in a couple of small towns and were getting reaccustomed to the US. I didn't even know who the Beatles were.
When I was sophomore, we moved to Birmingham, which was a big change. Besides The Carpenters, Seals and Croft, Bread, and a few other artists, the airwaves were dominated by hard rock, which I had a difficult time relating to.
Then a Beatles group played in the gym of our high school middle of junior year. I had never heard such rock music before. It was gloriously harmonic. I went out and bought the Red album, the first album I ever bought. This was in 1974, a year after the two albums were released. I played both the Red and later Blue albums hundreds of times. My mother, who was in the kitchen next to the living room, where our high-quality H. H. Scott console was located, came to know their music too. I'm not sure she related to a lot of it, but she especially liked 'Hey Jude' and "Here Comes the Sun.' One time after playing 'Hey Jude,' she came to me and said, "Rusk, you see, that song was about helping a young man getting over his fear of girls," which could be one interpretation. You see, I have never had a date at that time, and my mother was trying to encourage me. I had a great mother.
Now on to the albums. I have not purchased them yet so I really can't comment on them too much. What I instead was buy the unremastered versions in CD form, just tonight. I did that because I'm fearful they might have flubbed it. I have heard some songs from it. They are different. The positions of the instruments and vocals have been altered. I do not believe that should have been done. That should have been left alone. What George Martin did with the Beatles was the original intent of the artists. When you change positioning and loudness, you essentially change the original music. It is no longer what the Beatles then.
Now a little history. In 1987, George Martin went back and remastered all the albums. He said that he cleaned up and tightened up all the albums up to 'Sgt. Peppers' using modern technology. After that, he just made sure that the transfers to CD were good. Here's some inside information. In 1977, George Martin went back and remastered 'Sgt. Peppers', on the 10th anniversary of its release. He just used modern technology to tighten everything up. I bought that album again, and it was a bit cleaner. But nothing in the music had been changed--not a drop. On a side note, I have a picture disc of 'Sgt. Peppers' that was released about a year later. It had some of the cover art on the front and back of the vinyl. It was a colored disc, but with art. I've only played a couple of times. I'm not really into money, but I suspect it's worth a good bit. I also have a Mobile Fidelity record of 'Abbey Road.' It sounds fabulous. The bass is so powerful. It's the only Beatles record that Mobile Fidelity ever did.
Now, there a few songs here and there that I different mono and stereo versions. Now those songs a fair game for remastering. Some of the versions that got released on certain albums and in certain markets were not the masters intended. My mother was fortunate enough to spot a collection of all the Beatles singles for sale in the classifieds. It was a couple from Australia who were near retirement age and moving back to Australia. They were singles released in Australia. Most of the single are identical, but there are a few that are from different takes. So there are different versions of some songs floating around. Two of the most notable are 'Paperback Writer" and 'Rain'. There's tons more reverb on the single versions than what we got in the US. In that case they should be restored to their original single versions.
Now you said that the best albums would be to have the original UK pressings. I understand your reasoning, but I disagree. The reason is that the quality control and just plain quality of British pressing plants is sub-par. I experienced this myself when I bought a UK pressing of 'Help.' I bought it because it had more songs than the US version. But the pressing wasn't good. There was lots of distortion on it. Of course, this was around 1980, and the pressings in Britain might have been better in the 60s.
But there's another big issue with all Beatles's recordings. Britain did not have very many people with stereo playback until 1968 or thereabouts. But the US did, so the US distributors of the Beatles records released them in stereo. And George Martin knew that by 1967 if not before. That's why you have a big controversy about 'Sgt. Peppers' and the remaster. This is what happened. The Beatles only heard it in mono. They never heard it in stereo. But George Martin and Geof Emerick, the engineer for most of the Beatles's records, got together after the recordings were a wrap, and secretly put together a stereo mix and had that distributed in the US. And they also slowed down 'She's Leaving Home.' So if you've ever heard the panning on 'A Day in the Life,' where they move the sound slowly from one side to the other in the middle of the song, it's something the Beatles never heard. Personally, I think it's fabulous. And I think George Martin knew the impact it would have in the US. Paul heard it in recent years and was not happy. So they remastered 'Sgt. Peppers a few years ago and it more like mono and upset most Americans, who were accustomed to hearing it in stereo. There was a big "I Protest" campaign of sorts in the US. I'm lucky enough to have it in both the stereo vinyl and non-remastered CD version. To me, it sounds great. I have not heard the remix. So that's the other issue. We in the US had the capability of stereo playback, while most people in Britain didn't.
Okay, I'll wind up here. I will say that Paul McCartney is also my favorite solo artist. Oh, and 'And I Love Her,' was the first Beatles song to be totally acoustic. I didn't know that until recently. I don't know how Paul recorded his bass to make it all acoustic, but apparently he did. At least that's what Guitar Trooper says. The strings on 'Now and Then' were written by Paul, wholly or mainly, and he sat in on the recording session of it. And there might still be another Beatles's song out there. According to Paul, he put together an experimental piece around the time of 'Sgt. Peppers,' which might have been supposed to be on it, but there wasn't room. He's stated that's he's determined to get it released someday.
So, it's possible the remasters might have fumbled the ball some here. Others seem to be complaining about 'I Am the Walrus.' But if all else fails, you might be able to find the non-remastered songs on iTunes. I know that's not as fun as vinyl. For me, if I had to have only one album, it would be the Red, though I'm not sure about its current form. Regardless, I again want to congratulate you on your excellent presentation.
Trivia: The Beatles, mainly George Harris, discovered James Taylor. George also helped the Indian sitar player, Ravi Shankar, achieve worldwide fame. Norah Jones is Ravi Shankar's daughter. Ringo is left-handed, part of what gives him his distinctive style, a style that contributed significantly to the Beatles's sound. Queen Elizabeth was an enormous Beatles fan. Economists have estimated that at their peak, all associated industries with the Beatles made up 2/3 of Britain's economy.
Wow! What great information. 🤗♥️ I loved the story you shared about your mom. She gave you a pep talk but let The Beatles say it in a song. Lol. I'm glad you have great memories of your mom. I feel the same way about mine. ♥️
The George Martin mixes will always be the definitive versions. That will never change. What Giles has done is interesting and will probably appeal to a younger crowd. I personally find these remixes interesting and enjoyable but no one can touch George Martin. I will say I also like the MoFi version of Abbey Road but my favorite is the UK first pressing.
Great trivia information. A lot of the people that The Beatles touched went on to be stars in their own right. Thanks again for sharing your stories about The Beatles. Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy Thank you for your kind words.
I have to say..I’m so happy you love ❤️ this boxset so much. Because, music 🎼 does this for me too. I get emotional 😭 when I listen to music too. This happens to me every time I listen to Find Me A River by REM.
Thank you! ♥️🤗
