I got Help!

It was between that and A Hard Day's Night, but AHDN is available on Blu-ray, so I might get that instead at some point.

I'm not so sure about the medley at the end of Abbey Road.

I wish I hadn't read about it being a "medley" beforehand. It cheapens the experience of those half-songs.

Rubber Soul sounds 10x better in my car than it does at work.

It sounds spacious.
