any new Beatle fans because of the remasters?

gotta admit that the beatles were never really my cup of tea. they were a little before my time but i do remember my older sisters jamming to them when i was very young. thought they were ok and liked a few of their cuts but was never really a fan. i did have a huge amount of respect for them but never really "liked" their music.

all this remaster talk got me to try a couple of the discs recently (white album and revolver). couldn't believe how much i enjoyed them!. maybe i never gave them a chance in the first place?. maybe my tastes have matured/changed?. maybe the recording sound alot better??. most likely it's a combo of all of the above. regardless....i'm really "liking" them now. defiantly gonna buy a few more or maybe even the box set.

better late then never

anyone else a new fan?

Savoy Brown is still a favorite of mine. Kim Simmonds still tours both with a group as Savoy Brown and solo. They are one of my last remaining must see classic rock acts out there that I have never had the opportunity to see live.

The british blues guys, especially those that were in their prime in the later 60's and early to mid 70's, were a definitely a different breed. And yes, The Beatles (and Stones too I suppose) were major artistic influences as well at that point as well as were the earlier American bluesmen.

When I was about 9 I used to run home from the schoolbus every day to play my copy of Savoy Brown's "Street Corner Talkin'". I played it so many times on my cheapo Laffayette compact stereo that I wore it out almost completely. I still love that album for sentimental reasons, and am looking for a good vinyl copy of it!

YEs, I have I good vinyl copy of "Street Corner Talking". Sorry, not for sale. You could probably find a good copy on ebay for not much I bet.

"Jack The Toad" is another favorite of mine that is underrated and fantastic from start to finish over and over again. 'Some People" is one of my all time favorite blues tinged rockers. Love to crank that sucka up!!!

They are before my time as well. I am not a huge fan of the Beatles. But I do like some of their music especially as I am able to hear more of their songs.
