ALBUM RELEASED ON THIS DAY IN 1966

Yesterday and Today is the ninth Capitol Records album release by the Beatles
and the eleventh overall American release.The album is remembered primarily
for the controversy surrounding its original cover image, the "butcher cover"
featuring the band dressed in white smocks and covered with decapitated baby
dolls and pieces of meat.

FROM PDX RETRO ~


This year the solstice falls today at 6:34 p.m. EDT. This is the “summer”
solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The word solstice is from the
Latin solstitium, from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop). Astrologers say
the sun seems to ‘stand still’ at the point on the horizon where it 
appears to rise and set, before moving off in the reverse direction.


This 1958 single reached #26 on the Billboard Hot 100.
