US Beatles fan flies in to donate original Fab Four albums to museum
Please Please Me, With the Beatles and Beatles for Sale return to Liverpool after being sent from Crease's Music Store 50 years ago. A Beatles fan from across the Atlantic donated her prized collection of Fab Four records to Liverpool on her first ever visit to the city.
Vicky Mary, who lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, was 13 years old when Beatlemania swept the US in the 1960s. As a teenager she was so obsessed with John, Paul, George and Ringo she ordered their first three LPs from Crease’s Music Store on County Road. But Vicky, who paid for the records by bankers draft from more than 3,500 hours away, had never been to the home city of her idols. Now, after decades enjoying the sounds of Liverpool, she has been able to take in its sights, after tourist board Marketing Liverpool arranged for her to be flown over.
