Many YouTube videos have such low technical quality as to be barely watchable, so my sister Jean was impressed by an OK copy, despite being a vertically cropped version with the wrong aspect ratio, of the Beatles in A Hard Day’s Night doing “If I Fell.” Here’s how it appears and sounds on YouTube…

Yeah, the YouTube is mono, but it’s CRISPER, the way I like it! Snap, Crackle, Pop! It’s the Beatles. Damn, they were good-looking chaps back then. Dontcha love how Ringo’s face just lights up when he grins at the beginning of the tape? Oh, yeah, you’re a guy!
I STILL say the sound quality is better!
