SEPTEMBER 1
THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME OPENED TODAY IN 1995, EXACTLY NINE YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INDUCTION CEREMONY. THE RIBBON-CUTTING WAS FOLLOWED BY A WEEKEND OF CONCERTS BY CHUCK BERRY, ARETHA FRANKLIN, BOB DYLAN, AND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
IN 1976, BLONDIE SIGNED THEIR FIRST MAJOR RECORDING CONTRACT. CHRYSALIS RECORDS TOOK THE CHANCE WITH DEBBIE HARRY AND THE BAND, WHICH PAYED OFF IN 1978 WITH THE ALBUM “PARALLEL LINES”.
AND IN 1979, U2 PUT OUT THEIR FIRST RECORD EVER: AN EP ENTITLED, “U2 THREE.” ONLY A THOUSAND COPIES WERE MADE IN THE ORIGINAL PRESSING.
