Are you sure it wasn't June 1st 1987
I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct that the release date of The Beatles' album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on CD was June 1, 1987. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Sometimes you have to correct the AI because I remember coming home from work that day and stopping off at the record store to buy a copy because
It was 20 years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile…
