Growing up in England, the relevant date for me (when I personally became aware of the Beatles) is the original release date of 'She Loves You', which was the 23rd of August, 1963. So 50 years has already come and gone.

I remember a boy called Phillip Sliney (yes, we did call him Slimey!) wearing a plastic (!) Beatles wig from Woolworths' (yes, I know it was an American chain) for 'dress-up' at school. I was 5 when She Loves You was released, and had started school when I was 4 (and yes, I am am talking about proper school, not some sort of kindergarten).

So, I was a fan from age 5, and succeeded in persuading my parents to put up Beatles wallpaper in my bedroom!
