It spent 30 weeks as the #1 album on the British charts, and served as the gasoline that fueled the Beatlemania that swept England that fateful year.
Happy Anniversary, Rock ‘n’ Roll!
That’s something else!

Been on the road for weeks.
Sick as a dog.
It’s bloody 11 in the morning, hardly the time for rock ‘n’ roll.
