In 1988, U2’s album “Rattle and Hum” hit #1 on the US album charts, where it would stay for 6 weeks.
Today 1968, some major record chains in Britain refused to stock the new Jimi Hendrix album, “Electric Ladyland.” The cover, not approved by Hendrix, featured several topless women. It was quickly re-released with the US cover instead.
And happy birthday to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Neil Young, born in Toronto, Canada, 77 years ago today.
