I wonder how many hours of early teen years I spent staring at Beatle album covers, like that one.

Imagine, no cell phones, no telemarketers, no computers, no internet.

But a stacker record player and a pile of albums. No wonder our minds are so much more developed than people who came later.

Agreed! Looking at the album covers, liner note, etc., was part of the excitement! I miss those days...

And if there were "extras", like the White album - wow! In fact, I have a framed White Album poster in my office!
