yes I've been really surprised how much I've come to like them and I'm enjoying learning and playing the songs.
Got them on the Mono-Masters collection...You gotta get the German language recordings too, unless I overlooked those in your list.
Sie Liebt Dich, Ja Ja Ja
When I first moved out to Michigan and didn't know anyone, I did a deep dive into the Beatles as well out of boredom (didn't accumulate nearly as much material as you). I was into mostly hard rock, blues, and progressive metal growing up. Really came to appreciate where a lot of it came from.yes I've been really surprised how much I've come to like them and I'm enjoying learning and playing the songs.
Plastic Ono Band is a fine album.So far I haven't heard anything Lennon did solo that makes me want to buy a record of his.
George Harrison...Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he's got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
And singing 'tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit' in the middle 8 section for a laugh, and getting away with it. Typical Scouse humour of the time. Me and my mates were onto it at the first time of hearing. "Can you believe what they're singing there, man!"they can get dark though, and I like that.
Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Yeah I’m with you there, the solo stuff wasn’t nearly as good much of the time.Got them on the Mono-Masters collection...

I really have been making an effort to get every song I can find. It's why I got the Live and Let Die soundtrack and McCartneys solo album (for Maybe I'm Amazed.)
It's funny I always thought Live and Let Die was a "Beatles" song.
I like the McCartney and Harrison solo albums I've got so far, not sure I want to collect more though. I like 'The Beatles', the solo stuff not so much.

I keep thinking about buying Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper picture disks for framing. ... even though I already have multiple versions of those records....comes to think of it it would be cheaper to just buy the records again and frame them,.. instead of the picture disk.

I am trying to think if there's anything akin to this in my experience, that an entire significant treasure trove unfolds before me... Perhaps old blues masters, but the trail back to them from the likes of the Stones or Zeppelin, et al is apparent and well marked.Discovering and getting into the Beatles is an epiphany. It's akin to discovering the Carlos Castaneda books.
Their music is so diverse it's like opening the door to another universe.

I already have the frames, but the picture disks are $30. each. Trying to decide if I want them that badly.
I kind of do, but at the same time I already have two copies of Abbey Road and two copies of Sgt Pepper.
Nice - I have that one. It's great. I have a whole bunch of Beatles books. Even though a lot of them tell the same stories, more or less, I can't seem to get enough.I have this book coming..
