The first time I have heard a Beatles record was 1973 (?); it was 'Come Together' and 'Something'. I do recall a strong impression but then it was mostly forgotten. I started to listen to rock music as a teenager and a lot of good and bad music passed through my head at that time. Beatles did exist there as well but I did not pay much attention to them. Fast forward, 1980, I am a construction worker in Kazakhstan, 20 years old. We did have a tape recorder in dining hall that was playing all the time; White Album was on. And then I started to realize that 'Blackbird' is truly a great song. Subtile, complex melody, yet very simple. I was hooked after this and started to listen to all their music, I still do.
