Presty the DJ for July 26

Today in 1965, the Rolling Stones were to release “Beggar’s Banquet,” except that the record label decided that the original cover …

… was inappropriate, and substituted …

… angering one member of the band on his birthday.

The number one single …

… and album today in 1975:

Birthdays begin with one-hit wonder Brenton Wood …

… born one year before two-hit wonder Dobie Gray …

… who was born one year before someone you may have heard of — Mick Jagger:

Queen drummer Roger Taylor:

Terri Nunn of Berlin:

One death of note today: Mary Wells:

    Can’t really blame the Stones’s record company! Whichever cover it sports, though, it’s a great record.

    But the original cover prevailed, right? To be honest, this is the first time I saw the “other” cover.
