How to sell brilliantly
Unplugged
Beatlyi. What a great Russian word: 'to be connected, to be of The Beatles'. Not surprisingly given the impact The Beatles were having around the world on young people and their thinking, there was no way a Beatles record was going to be allowed into the country when The Fab Four were active; confiscated albums were deliberately scratched and returned to their distraught owners. But the few that did get through were on the black market on reel-to-reel tape within days.
We can never be sure how much such black market albums helped influence younger (and not so young) Russians that maybe the West was not so bad and not so evil after all, but it certainly created a desire to question dogma which had to be good.
Once again, the four lads from Liverpool done good. Real good, eh pal?
That's another reason we love The Beatles.
