Well, there's probably a few people my age who can outrank me as a Beatles fan, because it was a few months after Love Me Do had already been in the charts (low down in the top 20) that I heard them at all. But I was a die-hard fan by Christmas 1963, and was playing their stuff on my guitar. So I'll guess early to mid-1963. Not quite 46 years. There might be some Liverpudlians or Hamburgers(!) who can claim up to 49 years, if we stick strictly to when "The Beatles" was the name of the band. But since John and Paul used to practise and compose quite often at Paul's house, we might guess Mike McCartney was the first Beatles fan.  (Question is: was Paul a Scaffold fan?)

I dont claim to be the longest I know we all are, I have been a fan since I was 4-5 years old and I am now 31, and still going strong!  :)

I'm 26 and I've been a Beatles fan for almost 14 years (1995).

As for being the longest and oldest....I know it ain't me, lol.  :P

I don't think I have properly welcomed you aboard on behalf of the management.  ;D  Welcome!

I was aware of The Beatles at the early age of five. I remember my dad telling my older sisters that The Beatles really had split up. I became a fan when the red and blue album came out. When was that? 1976? We only had the red one and I'm still more focused on the early Beatles. To me, somehow their carreer stopped after 1966. They're 'different' Beatles. I got to know their post 1966 stuff a lot later and it didn't catch me as much as the early stuff.

It's a testament to the Beatles' greatness that they become a lifelong fixation. Most people I know who were Beatles fans in their youth are still Beatles fans today.

Well said.   ;)

I know of some people who are like that, but also some people who aren't.  One of my really good childhood friends was a huge Beatles fan back in the day, but as she grew up, she grew out of them.   :-/  She still does listen to them today, but probably more as a casual fan than anything else.  

I'm not really sure how anyone can stop liking the Beatles, though, but that's just me.

It's hard to believe that anyone could stop liking the Beatles, but I guess it's possible to get burned out on their music. Eh Kevin?
