shit I am old that was 26 years ago!
my first copy of the album was the Apple label one I got for Christmas in 1976...which really makes me feel ancient.
for some reason this drugstore in Lorain (Marshalls) had Revolver, Hey Jude and Abbey Road for just $3.99 whereas in the other stores they cost about two to three dollars more. My old man grabbed them for me. |
Revolver was one of the first albums I ever bought. Sears had a red tag sale - 10% off of any item. My grandma took me over.
My copy was the original (at least in the U.S.) Capitol Records. It was '67 or '68. I earned the money by digging the leaves out of the stairwell. (Not too many jobs for ten-year-olds then).
So much for the trip down Memory Lane. It was a heckuva introduction to the pop/rock music world. I listened to it again a few years ago, after I got into the vintage gear habit, and it was as if it was brand new again. What a ground-breaking album.
