Never inside, tempted to tag along when someone gets something mastered there just to get the photo on the steps and a quick nose around.

I say we sign up for a tour, and then hide somewhere inside so we get locked in for the night, @MirrorProfiles .

rewatching Anthology again, absolutely glorious. Amazing piece of work all round.
Random thoughts:
People who think Ringo is crap clearly never heard Pete Best. You can see why he had to go from listening to the Decca audition tape. Ringo was essential for the beatles, he was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Some of the early covers really sound fantastic, the BBC radio programmes had some recordings of songs from their set that didn’t make it onto any albums. Just incredible energy when they do their take on rock n roll.

That's cool shit right there. And there's Billy Preston. Check out that old console with the levers. Oh and look, it's Yoko!
Besides probably hearing them endlessly in my crib (we used to have the radio on most of the day), my main recollection is putting on the Live at the Hollywood Bowl LP at my uncle's. I guess I was 10-12 and very impressed with that mayhem and opener vibe 
He also had the white album, but I found that kind of meh back then.
The red 2LP collection is among my first buys probably, and I mostly just know the big hits outside of that.
That made it fun to sometimes "discover" that a great cover was really a Beatles song! (I often preferred what I heard first though: the covers)
For example, Got to Get You Into My Life by E,W and Fire, Fool on the Hill by Sergio Mendes, ...
Forgot the title, but maybe another gem I discovered late through one of the Idol shows probably. I couldn't believe I had never heard that before.
