No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones

rhythmaningI was just listening to TNK (Tomorrow Never Knows) - on the radio. The original, by the Beatles, from Revolver.
It occurred to me that, for a child of the sixties, there are some large holes in my record collection: I have not one CD by the Beatles; nor the Rolling Stones, nor, in honour of Mr Strummer, Elvis (Presley, that is; I have loads by Costello, more than I know what to do with).
I probably have tracks by them, and I have a lot of tracks written by them, but no albums.
Not one.
I just looked at Revolver on Amazon, thinking maybe I should rectify this omission, but frankly the only tune that I would listen to would be TNK. So I think I'll just leave to the radio.
