There was no name on it, no title, just John, Ringo, Paul and George crossing a road. I immediately bought it, took it home and listened to it. How did The Beatles know, from 4000 miles away, that I (Mark) was &#8220;Out of college, money spent, see no future, pay no rent&#8221;? It totally blew me away (and still does). The next day I went back and got the job as record saleman. The 5 years there help to lay the groundwork for my Beatles Fan&#8217;s Convention idea, that 35 years later as <strong>THE FEST<\/strong> is still going strong. Plus, we have created the world&#8217;s largest Beatles Mail Order\/Webstore as well. We thank you for your wonderful support over these past 35 years.
