I've spun this quite a few times, it's really great...and perfect for tonight; a mellow evening with my wife getting buzzed.
The record that kicked off the British Invasion, arguably revitalized rock n’ roll in the US and became the first of the Beatles’ record 20 #1 hits, helping them become the most successful act in Billboard’s history (singles chart, albums chart & combined)!
Day 8: "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
play a British record (imaginary bonus points if it's an artist from the 60s British Invasion)
You know Jimmy Page saw this shit, which fits perfectly with their early M.O. of musical theft left and right. And while we're at it, Liam Gallagher studied this too.
FYI, if you ask me to play a dance record, I will always play this one and include the following video. This track is a masterpiece. You’ve all now been notified.
Fringe Theatre star Jem Rolls posted the title track on my Facebook wall for my 40th birthday. A couple weeks later at my first, and thus far only (thanks to the world shutting down a week or two later) record show I found this copy at one of the tables and instantly snapped it up. The whole album is okay, at best, but the "Born to Be Alive" is an absolute certified banger!
Awesome, frequently forgotten Brit-pop album. Sometimes you’re just browsing through your local shop in the small(er) town you live in, just trying to kill some time when you stumble across a gem like this record that you thought you’d never ever see and you have to blink a few times to believe it.
