Record Store Day – 1969
As I have pointed out, 1969 was the year that records mostly stopped having dedicated mono mixes. Late ’68? The Beatles White Album had a mono mix. Fall of ’69? No mono mix for Abbey Road.
The move from mono to stereo must have been on the minds of consumers to deserve a comment in this scene from Cactus Flower. Look at all of the Beatles records on display, and there were 8-track tapes a’plenty.

What is You.Radio?
I’m not finding any real information about the service, except what the Lyrion player is showing about where it originates. I’ve added several of You.Radio’s “Exclusively” channels to my Lyrion favorites.
I’m Hearing Things
Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky” was a #3 hit in 1970.
The rhythm track on “Spirit in the Sky” has always reminded me of a 1968 record. Being a tribute to Mississippi Delta Blues, Canned Heat’s “On the Road Again” was a surprise #16 hit.
Bass Head
Paul McCartney’s iconic 1961 Höfner bass guitar was pinched over fifty years ago. It has finally been returned to its rightful owner.

Beatles mugs, a Christmas present from my big sister.
When she was here in August to help me during a very tough week of cancer treatment, she was amazed to see this photo that I came across purely by chance online. My sister confirmed that it does indeed show her at the legendary Beatles concert at Shea Stadium in 1965.
