Beatles Mania: Couple. Amasses One of the World’s Largest Memorabilia Collections 

I met John, Paul, George, and Ringo after their performance in Seattle back in 1966. My sisters and their friends took me. It was in the coliseum. I have never witnessed anything so loud. The screams were louder than the Beatles. As a ten year old boy, I wasn’t sure what was going on? My parents friend was a reporter for the Seattle Times so we all were seated next to him. After the show he was able to get to the Beatles for a quick interview and my sisters held their composure and ask if they could get their albums signed? The Fab Four agreed and hand signed each album. I have one of them and as I got older I realized I just witnessed something that would change the music world forever. I started collecting at age eleven and I will tell you, this couple has outdid me. Absolutely amazing collection. These pieces are just incredible. I hope if their sons don’t take these to carry on their parent’s tradition, that a Beatles Museum displays and treasures them. One of the best videos representing this iconic group. 🍏✌️

The photos from when they met Paul are taken in one of the rooms at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts where I used to take classes :) I had the utmost honour of getting to write with Paul last year, and he really is as gracious and wonderful as these guys make out. A brilliant collection and a wonderful story!

“They make us happy “. About the best way to sum them up.

Absolutely mind blowing! You both are "my" people. I just turned 56 and have a major love for the Fab Four. When I was born in '65 the nurses at the hospital called me the "Baby Beatle" due to my mop head when I was born =). I have a number of things but your collection just blows me away. SO AWESOME!! I did just get the card stock poster of the '64 NEMS (orange background) picture of the 4. From my research, the card stock poster appears to have been used as record store promos. Who knows?? Anyway, would sure love to see your collection one day. You are very nice people with big hearts. It is quite obvious. Thank you for opening your doors for us to see!!

I'm completely gobsmacked at your Beatles collection, very impressive.❤

Unbelievable collection in great hands. Good-hearted folks with the right intentions.

This become a 40 minute vid because I paused it soooo much. Didn't want to miss anything, THE BEATLES FOREVER!!!!

WOW…..& I thought I was a big Beatles’ fan. I’m 71, & never stopped loving them since hearing “I Want To Hold Your Hand”…and watching them on Ed Sullivan when I was 12. This memorabilia is out of this world for sure. I would be thrilled to just meet Judy & Alex one day !

Blimey! what a collection, I went to see Paul at Wembley Arena London in 1990 when he came on with rousing applause a light shone straight up to me and my friend and Paul was waving at us, what are the chances. Also I was lucky enough to see my darling George at The Royal Albert Hall in London in 1992 on my birthday of all days I got right at the front and as I was singing along with anything George was singing I think he noticed that as he leaned over and said 'Hello' I will NEVER forget that I love the Beatles as a one person but my favourite solo one is George. Ringo came on near the end and got on the drums so apart from John I have seen the other three, as you say they make us happy that really is what it's all about.❤

You guys have turned being Beatles fans into a lifestyle! Both of you have been gifted being able to meet Paul and Ringo, and being able to obtain that beautiful collection. Almost beyond words. Dreams do come true sometimes! Blessed!

It’s wonderful and I love the passion and love you have for the Beatles. Please don’t ever get rid of it. ❤️

Absolutely staggering collection, watching from Australia so thank you so much for sharing.

Wow you have a great Beatles collection, last year I got real lucky and finally landed two Beatles items I've been looking for :- the Beatles Ice Cream boxes - the 4 bar box and the 6 bar box. Thanks for sharing.& stay safe.

The way she looks at him is just priceless. Real love!

Amazing collection and stories! Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic collection. So nice that you got the perfect reward by meeting Paul and Ringo.

Really enjoyed seeing and hearing about your collection, it took me back to when I was a young lad in the 60's. When I was about 9 my eldest sister took me twice [reluctantly] to watch a Beatle concert at our local theatre in the South of England, I remember hearing very little due to the screaming girls, but it did start my lifelong admiration of all things 'Beatle'. Would love to see Paul live, but I guess I'm going to settle with RU-vid for my Beatle fix? Thank you both once again, great video.

I really enjoyed watching this couple who are big Beatles fans and to see their Beatles collection like WOW 😎👍 ✌n💙❤🎶

This is AMAZING! I'm a HUGE Beatles fan and oh my gosh what I would give to see that!

Loved this! Just saw a wonderful Beatles tribute band play with a full orchestra. They were wonderful, but I'll never forgive myself for not seeing the actual group. I could have! They were here in L.A. I was here. What ever was I thinking!!!

Finally a good news day I needed this. Thank you for sharing.

They are so cute! Wonderful that they are both into it all the way!! I wonder how they keep it protected, and what will happen to it when they're gone.

I’m 14 and I’m obsessed with the Beatles

Oh God it catch me from the start till the end it took me by surprise no words can say amazing story blows my mind fabulous congratulations for both

I'd love to visit Thier house . They have Soo much stuff still in it's original packaging. I've wanted a pair of winkle pickers (Beatle boots) since I was a kid but , mom was far too practical. I own three pair now , in different colors. I've met quite a few celebrities in my life but have never been impressed by any of them but , there are a couple I've actually wanted to be able to meet , if only to just say hello or shake Thier hand so , I can only imagine those twos excitement upon meeting two of Thier music idols.

Very exciting thanks for sharing your story and showing your collection

Wonderful collection, lovely people

There is a Beatles memorabilia museum in Dunedin, FL which is incredible to see. And its free!

Great comment, no more needs to be said. They make you happy❤️❤️❤️❤️ All the best from Sweden

Wow!!!! What a collection! Being a long time Beatles fan, I would love to see a traveling museum. If it ever happens, come to South Florida, please.

Wow! what a collection. I too collect Beatles memorabilia but this is 100 times more than what I have.

Have you listened to the short on YT Music called, "Why Music Matters," about the Beatles? They point out that it is a "shared experience" to love the Beatles. When we're loving the Beatles we are all on the same wavelength. So when we're loving the music so are millions of other people around the world at the same time.

I love your collection guys! Soooo cool! and fun! Thanks for sharing it!

Loved the story. I am a big collector and have amassed about 75 items but I am small time compare to them. Awesome

George is my favorite beatle All things must pass album was such an amazing experience

I think a museum would be better. Moving everything around, stuff will ultimately get lost or damaged. The Liverpool Beatle museum or the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame etc. I think would have a much better chance of preserving it for future generations. Beautiful idea and well done!!

YES,THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!

Boy did I go wrong, I put all my money into Freddie and the Dreamers. Very cool collection, really brings back memories of when I was a kid and everything was The Beatles. I've collected many albums over the years, and listening to the various releases brings me a lot of joy, so I can understand. Good luck on your quest.

this is incredible

Awesome collection! While I’m not too interested in the memorabilia stuff, I’m into collecting the records, I’m duly impressed. Well done.

The bobble heads are spectacular

awesome i like how you decorated your home in early American Beatles very cool thanks for sharing take care Rock on Peace

Great collection! I myself is so lucku to have autographs from all 4, the jewel in the crown is Paul and John signed together on the same piece of paper

Awesome !!! So Fab !!!

You have to visit the Beatles Museum once. It's in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. It's run by Beatles author Azing Molmaker.

Love this so much

I want to live in your house! Fantastic story thanks

Beatles forever!!

You should open as a museum and take donations/charges at the door to pay for more collectibles. I have three 1/1 items no one else has, if interested. Wonderful video and much appreciated. Super thanks!!!! I can send pictures of the items to your facebook if you like.

Great to see this collection. Wonder who out there has a massive collection of Beatles records, 8-tracks, reel tapes, cassettes, cds, dvds and blu-rays, plus bootlegged records and cds?

Absolutely FABulous from a fellow collector downunder. ✌🏻❤️👌🏻

Its like the house of ned Flanders!!!!

AmaZing !

Well, that is just brilliant. Unbelievable actually, and what a generous couple to consider donating it to a museum. I love their enthusiasm. If possible, a pop up museum is a great idea. There would be millions of baby boomers who would love to see this. As for me the top piece of Beatles memorabilia, apart from their guitars, would be the number 0000001 White Album owned by Lennon, but that sold for $1m, so that's definitely out of reach.

Incredible accumulation, zero doubt there. My question to this couple and all Beatle “heavy-hitter collectors” though is; what happens when you breathe your last? Will this stuff get to a museum where it needs to be? Any Elvis collectors want to speak up on this as well?

I would love to have this type of collection🫶🏾💗

I don't about the rest of you, but I am getting ready to move in with these people. Holy Beatlemania.

These are my type of people!

I saw them in concert and I have the Program from the last concert.

Excellent

Good Stuff you two! Stay well! Do you have all 6 variations of "Yesterday" & Today album? How about one of those pieces of bedding they slept on that they sold back in 64? I'm sure you do. Love the video.

Awesome collection. You can consider to add your collection with The Beatles Hotwheels collection .

Wow 🤩

the beatles are the best thing to happen to humanity.

I have something you may be interested in adding to the collection. I have a one of a kind item and a 1 of 4 known in my possession since release.

If only this could by my house

This is all high end memorabilia. Makes you wonder what they do for a living to be able to afford this type of collection especially in such a short period of time.

OMG 😮...quiero algo así ..aunque después no se a quien dejaría ese legado. No tengo hijos 😢..mi padre era también fan de The Beatles y tenía apenas unos vinilos..que luego se perdieron 😢

What software do you use to catalog your records?

Ringo signed a book for me last year.

Cool😎👍❤️🎶

A competitor for Ned Flanders collection

This is like the Beatles version of the Obi Wan kenobi farm

husband jerry - me and three of my friends were in a field that we werent supposed to be in , a cop came and asked us our names ( now this is 1974 ) we told him our names were john paul george and ringo - i remember he thought the name ringo was weird but he wrote down the names in his little book and told us to leave - we left but always wondered what the other police thought when they heard that - they must have laughed at him for throwing the beatles off that field - i think that night we found the only cop that didnt know the beatles we couldnt and still to this day cant believe it !

Can't buy me love, but sure can buy collectables

This is what a healthy relationship looks like lol

I saw on the lunch box collection that the Hard Day's Night and Beatles for Sale lunch boxes are out of order. A Hard Day's Night came after With the Beatles and before Beatles for Sale. Beatles for Sale was their fourth album preceding the Help album. Just FYI. Don't know if the order was intentional or not though anyway.

9:10 video clip will come in handy if they ever split up, things get ugly, and she tries to take half of his stuff in court.

What? No Rock-ola "Yellow Submarine" jukebox? You could have also bought Glenn Streeter's huge "Yellow Submarine" model in a huge display case when it came up for sale not long ago.

Were you able to obtain the signed Lyrics by McCartney?

Do they have any copies of Johns books signed?

10:35 Ha, ha - the hair....

For some reason looking at the thumbnail I thought this was a bunch of recent junk -- I am awed and have to say: How mistaken I was! On the other hand, looking at the plethora of signed items I have to express my disgust -- do you not realize that there are innumerable children in Third World countries who will never have even one single Ringo autograph (or one autographed Ringo single)!

This is just so... obvious. There must be at least a thousand of couples plus all those individual collectors like these in the world. I'm obsessive fan but their music - and that I can hear it in any form any time - is fine by me. The Beatles is like the Moon landing - something that human race did right. You can never go wrong with The Beatles.

Do you have the Beatles Collection MiniDisc?

Only 2 winners at the end of the day ...... Paul and Ringo.

Paul McCartney himself would probably pay for a tour at your collection.

My room (If I had money) 😔💔

14'' bobbin head

How much is it worth?

That's nothin'! You should see my collection of "a-ha" memorabilia.

wow i wanna know how much loot they spent on this collection!!

Tell me your cool without telling me your cool I’ll wai-

Can you please adopt me x

why does the background music have to be so loud? and why randomly cut off a sentence by overlapping another conversation? very poorly edited.

Don’t you have a sympathy for the Devil I like them too!

A lot of it is a load of old tat with the name The Beatles on it.

🥺😤🤬 Cool collection mate 😴😬🥶

I've seen better....but NOT by much. Truly outstanding collection..all items are mint or near mint. Amazing. Love the Butcher covers...including the 2nd state. I'm working on getting a 2nd state myself.... When trying to collect Beatles, there are several ways to go : 1. Eye candy - All the cool collectible stuff, toys, trays, posters, coloring books, etc. 2.Ear candy - Vinyl collecting. You will spend a lifetime getting 1st pressings, Picture sleeves, etc. 3. A combination of 1 and 2 above

I used to be a big fan. I grew up in the 60's listening to them.I woke up in 1966 and today I am out of the Beatles Cult.
