On this day 1960 George Harrison was deported from Germany for performing with The Beatles in Hamburg under the age of 18. Apparently, the night before his deportation Harrison spent the night teaching John Lennon his guitar parts so the band could continue with their shows.
The American blues guitarist B.B. King recorded his legendary live album Live at the Regal at (no surprise) the Regal Theater in Chicago on this day 1964. The album is a mainstay of ‘greatest album of all time’ lists.
The singer Björk Guðmundsdóttir was born in the Icelandic capital Reykjavík on this day 1965.

The 1980 Steely Dan album Gaucho celebrates a 40th anniversary today. The troubled LP was massively over budget, using at least 42 different musicians in the studio, there was band tensions, record label lawsuits, and even jazz musician Keith Jarrett threatened legal action over plagiarism. |

The 2018 debut album by Canadian blues rock band The Blue Stones called Black Holes was recommended to me by a friend, and I wasn’t disappointed. Fans of Royal Blood, The Black Keys, and other chunky guitar riffed duos will love. |

The debut My Bloody Valentine album Isn’t Anything is 30 years old today! Considered a revolutionary work of the shoegazing subgenre. I’ll let the defunct Melody Maker sum up the LP “a raving nymphomania and out-of-body experience that establishes them as absent-minded rulers of this daydream nation.“ |

The popular Earth Wind & Fire LP All ‘N All is 40 years old today. It’s funky, it’s tender and includes Fantasy. All ‘N All a classic! |
