I remember when it came out. It wasn't too long after the Beatles broke up if I recall.
It was originally released on 45. It wasn't until later that it was added to an album.
There's some cool trivia about the song if you look it up. It was one of the fastest-produced singles of all-time and I forget how high it charted but it was in the top ten.
John Lennon was a genius. He cranked-out a lot of masterpieces in no time at all.

I got out of the movies and on the way home the FM station played several Lennon tunes and finally broke in and said they were by the late John Lennon. A very sad day. He was a bit more serious and intense than Paul.
Yeah I couldn't afford albums back then either. I think 45s were like 25 cents though. I was a kid and my allowance was 50 cents a week and I had to do a lot of chores to earn that.
My mother was a school teacher in the same school district I went to school in so I couldn't get away with anything. If I got in trouble or did something bad I would get "demerits" from my Dad and he would subtract money from my allowance.
lol
I remember when the Beatles made their last appearance on live TV. They sang "Hey Jude". My Father said to me as we were watching, "Remember this. This may be the last time you'll ever see the Beatles perform together." He was right.
It was definitely a sad day when John Lennon was murdered. So many people hated him for nothing but even more loved him and everything he stood for. I was one of the latter. -
I wonder what model "Special Edition" Polks Rick has there in his picture.
I've never seen them before. Are they new? -

Yep..that was the David Frost show in 1968... When everyone in the audience got up on stage and sang with them...It was WOW then...It is WOW now... -

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Murder Ballads.

On today's date the most groundbreaking album of all time IMHO (although its arguable I admit) was released in England, with a different list of songs and cover than the album that was released in the US in August I believe. ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? I still remember the first time I heard it. A friend of mine taught me how to play Fire on guitar almost immediately and it was all over pal.

Original Album Series - Montrose 5 cd set.
(The S/T first cd in this set uses the same mastering as the Audio Fidelity 24 karat gold CD mastering)
The other 4 CD's sound excellent as well.
If you don't know Montrose or have not listened for awhile you gotta 'Jump On It' with this CD set and add it to your collection. $15.00 on Amazon(crazy price)
Since Sammy Hagar was lead singer for the first and second album I included my ticket to see him in Toledo, Ohio this Sept.
Hope he sings a couple of Montrose tunes.
