1. Oh Man, I Feel Old

That's one of those albums that every record collection had to have. I could sing along with every song - and did.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. Yep! I just gave my entire vinyl collection to my daughter. In the sixties I got into the habit of

Buying two each of my favorite albums. One to play and the other to save. So my kid got something on the order of fifty unopened LPs, and a total of 400+.

2. Holy crap, I'm old.

I remember buying that album. I still have my own teeth, but crap, I'm old.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. Me too! 😜

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Will you still need me

Will you still feed me

When I'm 64?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Ah! To be

64 again!

[Cirque du So-What]

7. 64 sure seemed a long way off when that album came out

Now it's right on my doorstep.

8. Now it's a distant memory!

9. Brings back such great memories.

But the "50 years ago" part I can do without!

10. I remember I was almost 11...convinced that rock-n-roll was a passing fad

And predicted that by the time I was 30, I would cut my hair short, get my hair permed, wear high heels every day, listen to boring music, enjoy going to church. Cuz that is what my mom did.

None of this has happened. (Except I did get a perm in 1987 ~ when everyone went through that perm phase)

11. Per Wikipedia, it was June 2 for the US. So happy anniversary all over again. NT

12. Damn! Now I know why I was

first on line!

13. The Remastered Album

Hi,

The newly remastered CD hit the stores last friday & it was worth it. You can hear things you never heard before, it is fantastic. I bought the 2CD deluxe set with outtakes & the 2 singles not on the album. Penny Lane & Strawberry Fields. My 64th is soon this summer, I never thought I would still be buying Beatles albums.

Get ready for the next Remaster, The White Album is being done now by Giles Martin, son of George Martin. The results should be incredible.

15. Also released on that day:

David Bowie (1967 album)

David Bowie is the self-titled debut studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 1 June 1967, on Deram Records.

[Grammy23]

16. I had that album. It was a prized possession!

It is now in the possession of my oldest grandson (age 19) because of his love for all kinds of music, but especially the Beatles. He took guitar lessons for 6 years and one of the first songs he learned was Black Bird. The actual first was the opening bars to Smoke on the Water. 😂😂😂

Now he's a pretty decent blues and rock guitarist, has had his own band, writes and plays his own compositions, in addition to his favorites. The kid is old school and loves vinyl. So who better to have that favorite old album of mine?? He also has my copy of Meet the Beatles.

17. This was exactly my graduation day 50 years ago: 6/7/67!
