Had to take them back and replaced it with bedsheets with the Abbey Road cover on. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0834T4RKS?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

Even better!

Not sure If I mentioned this here, but it would be the Beatles Apple USB.

But once I realized there is no copyright protection on it, I copied the FLAC files to my Laptop, and sold that puppy off for a nice profit.

I ordered the new Uncut tribute magazine to John.

Two books: The John Lennon Letters, edited by Hunter Davies—thanks to Moogmodule flagging it in a different thread—and The Last Days of John Lennon, authored by James Patterson, which I bought with a bit of skepticism given that Patterson writes fiction novels. Both are on the way from Amazon.

One thing I wanted to get but could not find was a Beatles phone cover for an Android phone. All the ones I found online were for iPhones.

(My kids keep encouraging me to make the leap from Android/Samsung to iPhone, but I'm too much of a technophobe. And I no longer have a teenager at home to explain everything to me.)

I actually have a Google Pixel 4. Next up's a Samsung, probably next year.

You won't find Beatles phone covers for your Google Pixel 4 on Amazon. You'll have to go to crafter sites like Etsy for them: https://www.etsy.com/listing/873710594/google-pixel-4a-4-4-xl-beatles-wood?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=beatles+case+google+pixel+4&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&col=1

Or at Caseshunter: https://www.caseshunter.com/the-beatles-google-pixel-4-case/

Awesome, Barry; thanks! I'm not sure why I didn't find those in my online searches. I'm not a big fan of Etsy; I've had spotty luck with their sellers.

Just ordered the Caseshunter one.

Which Caseshunter case did you like, Kathy?

I've ordered a couple of Beatles-related items from Etsy with great luck:

This Magical Mystery Tour Fair Isle Vest...

Yes, I have worn it several times.

And this 1965 Slalom Lenkung Schobob Ski Bike...

Yes, you've seen it in Help!...

The phone case arrived yesterday, so of course I had to take a photo and share it with a subset of my friends with whom maintain a group text chat. One of them said she hadn't been aware that I was a Beatles fan (

) and that she likes some of their stuff but prefers "singers/songwriters." I know she was referring to solo artists, but I have to admit my gut reaction was a flash of indignation.

This case is going to really help my Beatles proselytizing.
