Judy In Disguise by John Fred and his Playboy Band
I read he was looking at a cute girl wearing big sunglasses at a concert but when she took them off she wasn't very pretty. Of course there's the Lucy In The Sky connection

Jim, I remember how much fun it was just listening to the Top 40! It was a great diversified list that opened my eyes to the different genres of music.You could hear Elvis one minute Perry Como the next and Tennessee Ernie Ford the next! I know it must have been a hoot spinning those discs!

I know many people do use a stabilizer on high end systems. If you have a $20,000 turntable what's a few bucks for a stabilizer. As for me and my NAD turntable I'll pass for $290!

I just heard it. I have mixed emotions. It was done well. The AI is a little scary. Too be honest all this remastering is weird too. I also just heard the new remastered version of Love Me Do and prefer the original.

I have the 2 volume book Paul McCartney The Lyrics and I was surprised that when I searched Monkberry Moon delight it wasn't there. It's a very interesting song with bizarre lyrics.

I know John Lennon once talked about the fuzz guitar feedback that starts "I Feel Fine" being discovered by accident, but I believe they did that deliberately on the record.
From all I've read John laid his guitar against the speaker for a tera break and that's when the reverb. He was so amazed he wanted to use it.

Yep, read that a few years ago. Interestingly, I read that the first time was in NYC when Dylan introduced it to them. He thought they had smoked and when they said they hadn't he questioned I Wanna Hold your Hand's lyric "I Get High, I Get High" and they told him it was "I Can't Hide, I Can't Hide". Funny

I find these type of "Best of" awards as so misleading since one must define the niche we're working with. Do y'all agree that it's like picking the greatest rock song of all time. What does that mean? Tell me if I'm wrong. Could you actually pick the greatest rock song of all time?
