On this day in 1983, Def Leppard’s album ‘Pyromania’, started a 92-week run on the U.S. charts, and sold over 6 million copies in the U.S. alone.
Today in 1971, Black Sabbath started recording their third album, ‘Master of Reality.’ With the guitars tuned-down, the result was a noticeably ‘darker’ sound that almost two decades later would prove hugely influential on the biggest grunge acts, namely Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, and Nirvana.
And in 1962 Ringo Starr appeared live with the Beatles for the first time when he filled in for an ailing Pete Best. They played two shows that day, a lunchtime show at the Cavern Club and an evening show at the Kingsway Club in Southport.
