Colleen: Also known as the Blue Album, I borrowed it on cassette – along with the Red Album – when I was 13 from a school friend who was also the first person to show me real instruments (a Hammond-style organ and a classical guitar). I had heard »A Day in the Life« shortly before, on the Imagination soundtrack, lent to me on vinyl by another school friend, and it had been an epiphany, *the* moment I understood how powerful music could be, planting the seed for my desire to play instruments and make music. It would be another 2 years before that wish materialized, and in the meantime I listened to these 2 albums on repeat.
