40 years ago and it seems like only yesterday

The Beatles shot a short promotional film for the forthcoming "Strawberry Fields Forever"/"Penny Lane" single.
The Rolling Stones were under fire because they refused to join the other artists appearing on "Sunday Night At The London Palladium" on the revolving rostrum to wave to the audience at the show’s finale.
"Juke Box Jury" had seven minutes cut on 7th Jan (Pete Murray, Alan Freeman, Jimmy Saville and Simon Dee). Pete Murrary commenting on the The Addicted Man by The Game said It’s the most disgusting record I’ve ever heard. If you never heard it that's no suprise as EMI instantly withdrww the record. If you have heard it then what was it like?
The Anon were a group of young Charterhouse Public School boys who sent a demo tape to Jonathan King
, another old Charterhousian). JK financed further demos and told the group to call themselves: Genesis.
The Farinas from Leicester changed their name to Family.
The Key from London changed their name to Kaleidoscope and got a deal with Fontana Records
Wayne Fontana appeared on Crackerjack, next week it's Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mitch and Titch.
If you had been listening to the Radio you could have heard Alan Bown, the Cream, Pinkerton's Colours. Cat Stevens, The Tremeloes and The Who on Saturday Club.
And some great singles were released in Jan 67 (The Attack and Wimple Winch stand out for me).
