Let it Be and Cosmo’s Factory
Let it Be by the Beatles was the first album I ever bought. Back in 1970 the cassette tape was all the rage. I will never forget the experience, it was before a long car journey with my family. I bought two albums and actually think it’s fair to call them albums because they came…
