I was 12 when the first album came out and 13 when they did the Sullivan show. I was also one of the very many who got a guitar soon after...
I also saw "A Hard Day's Night" when it came out at our local theater in San Francisco. When I say I saw it, I mean that literally; there were girls screaming out the Beatles names before the movie even started and, once the film did start, there was a non-stop wall of screams and I had to go back some time later to actually be able to hear the dialogue...
