Love is all you need …
June 25, 1967 ~ BBC producer Aubry Singer’s dream of the first-ever world wide satellite broadcast featuring creative artists from around the globe comes to life.

The Viet Nam War is at its epoch and The Beatles are asked to provide a “postive message” for their segment. The band invites many friends including Eric Clapton, Keith Moon, Graham Nash and The Rolling Stones. The event aptly ushers in “The Summer of Love.”

Yesterday and Today
The Beatles release “the butcher cover” album on June 20, 1966.
The original cover was considered the Fab Four’s comment on the Vietnam War. About 750,000 copies of the album were printed in the USA and shipped to DJs. Word got out, people freaked — including the Chairman of EMI, Capitol Records’ parent, and the album was recalled. The new album with a new photo was released at the same time.
