Probably because you are four years older than I am and had better things to do than watch Saturday morning cartoons and American Bandstand from 1965-67!
I backfilled my knowledge of pre-"Meet The Beatles" recordings via "The Beatles" cartoon show. I knew songs like "Baby's in Black" and "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" complete with those visuals. I still see those old songs with cartoon traces sometimes.
It's difficult nor bad to avoid one's history with The Beatles. Trying to hear these recordings with fresh ears is a practice that can be impossible if you're from a specific generation. I remember seeing The Beatles Cartoon series, but it never made that big impression on me. I'm not sure why? Still, the beauty of these collective memories is that it is essential.

Ha! That, I doubt, but you're right about the age perhaps. But I did watch American Bandstand. My fave show at the time.

Theirs was a bright and shiny brilliance beyond words.
