May 16th 1966 - where were you?

[ODowd]

Hey there ! I am doing some research for a radio programme in the UK and am looking for stories around the release date of Pet Sounds, Monday 16th May 1966.

Where were you? Do you remember buying the album? How it sounded? Or what else happened on that day?

Would love to hear your stories

Hi Olivia. I no longer have my diary for that year (I did have one!) but at that time I was most likely in the throes of changing from a messy farm job to a "repectable" position as junior salesman in the record department of W.H. Smith in Watford (UK). I'd heard at least four tracks by then----"SJB", "GOK", "WIBN" and (maybe surprisingly) "Here Today" (and in all likelihood "Caroline, No") were played regularly by the off-shore pirate stations. I remember PS, Revolver and Blonde on Blonde were the big pop sellers at the store while I was there (until that November).

I myself only bought PS the next year, when I swapped buying "classical" LPs for pop. It sounded wonderfully colourful at the time----and still does. Although the then lack of information led me to assume that it was Mike soloing on baritone sax in "IKTAA"! Regrettably I trod on it in early 1973----while it was playing.  

Sorry I can't be more specific about that day. Good luck with your research. I know for a fact that there are others here slightly younger or older than myself so hopefully they'll have more to say on the subject.

I wouldn't be born til the 15th of January the following year, but since that is right around 9 months from May 16th 1966 it is probable that I was conceived by my folks around the time of Pet Sounds release!

Well.... On May, 16, 1966, my mom was a little more than 5 and a half years old.


I'm not sure where I was on that date.


I know it was nowhere peaceful, and nowhere pleasant....


It was violent and tight. Also smelly and full of fluids I don't currently want to breathe.

Really? That's what you have to say about your mom's 5 1/2 year old ovaries?

Too bad you lost it!

I didn't lose it----I threw it away in a mad spring-cleaning spree in the '70s when I threw just about everything away----music, drawings, diaries. Like I was denying my past or something. Anyway, it's gone.

As for some of the posts in this topic: It wouldn't surprise me if it chased Olivia away for good. What will she think of this forum? Really, folks.

It was a Monday, so probably feeling sorry for myself at being back in class but excited about the nearness of Summer break between my Sophomore and Junior year.

I take it back, I only had a restricted drivers license so I was still excited to be back in class.

Oh yeah, I didn't buy the album because we didn't have anything to play an albums on yet. We had an old portable 45 player with my Mom's collection of Perry Como, Patti Page, and Bill Haley singles but I didn't buy singles either, I just heard them on WHB 710 AM.

I wasn't even a seed in the bosom of my mother and father yet. For they had not met. I don't think either of them had ever bought one either.

Not out of grade school, yet, and going to a record department of a department store to buy my first BB album, Pet Sounds!

Fair enough.

This made me laugh out loud. The high five is adorable.

Apparently, quite a bit. I'm seven years shy of myKe's age, and during my three visits to the gym each week, there are a number of those younger than myself who can barely keep up with those of us who have embraced fitness all through life as well as seniors who surpass what I can do. I plan on keeping it going as long as by body will cooperate.

Just like Mike. ;-)

What about the high five? Don't leave me hangin'.

OSD, I gotta ask and I really really don't mean to offend in any way and hope I don't, but is THE LEGENDARY LSD you being satirical, or is it actually someone else?
Please don't be offended... I honestly don't know...

  I'm in no way chuckling at you Emily, but you're asking the wrong guy. As for me(OSD), it's purely a satirical stab at someone here who is sure they're a legend-in their own conceited mindframe that is.   And, by the way, you'll have to check with The (legendary) LSD to see what his deal is all about.

OSD is in great shape compared to Mike's Wine-Buddha belly these days.
