Isn’t it amazing the things you remember that had such an impact on you
when you were a kid? I can barely remember what I did last weekend, but certain events from childhood come to mind with detail and ease. February 9, 1964. At 4 years of age, I got to stay up with my older brother and sister and watch The Beatles perform on Ed Sullivan. Their music, appearance and charisma made such an impression on me that I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
Now, fast forward to the teen years when I worked in a record store. Collecting albums became a passion, especially unique, limited editions, or imports you couldn’t find locally.
Many years later, life settled down and my family moved into a new home. It was time
to fix up the basement, the one room in the house where I could do as I pleased. So, my opportunity to uncrate all those albums I took with me everywhere I lived finally came to pass. As I searched for a way to display my records, the only thing I could find was a 12 x 12 frame for the album cover only. As a collector, that wasn’t good enough, since the look was not nearly as interesting without the vinyl itself. Not to mention that some of the more interesting records were colored vinyl or picture discs.
The search for a solution led me to an unsatisfying choice: either use a square frame style or find a frame shop that would make a frame for each Album and LP at a considerable cost. Instead, I decided on a little self-help. The result was the design, patent and production of The Record Showcase™.
I hope you enjoy displaying your collection and explaining to the IPOD generation just what fun buying and listening to vinyl records was when you were a kid. The Record Showcase™ … memories are made of these!

DenniLu Presents, The Beatles Cartoon
In September 1965 The Beatles Cartoon aired on ABC at 10:30am. The half-hour show was presented in two episodes with two sing-a-longs complete with Beatle lyrics. The Beatles cartoon voices were not the Beatles. They were dubbed by two voice actors, Paul Frees (John and George) and Lance Percival (Paul and Ringo). In the fall of 1968, the series was moved to Sunday mornings. It remained until its final broadcast on September 25th, 1969. A total of 78 episodes with sing-a-longs were produced in four separate locations around the world by numerous animators, background and layout artists, writers and directors. The DenniLu Company offers Hand-Painted cels signed by some of the cartoon series original animators; Peter Sander, Dale Case, Tom Halley and Ron Campbell. You can visit The DenniLu Beatles Cartoon Exhibit and see an extensive collection of Beatles Art at The Mirage in Las Vegas, Home of The Beatles LOVE featuring Cirque Du Soleil.

Tom can usually be found lurking around The Fest's Beatles Trivia and Name That Beatles Tune competitions either assisting Joe with the questions and prizes or taking total control of hosting. He keeps tabs on all things Fab, contributing stories and reviews to BeatleBrunch.com and a host of publications. He's consulted on several books and appeared on many radio programs. If you ever need to find Tom just ask anyone in Manhattan's Little Italy. If they run away that'll let you know not to bother him, he's busy writing Beatles articles and can't be interrupted. We are proud to have Tom on our staff!
