celebrating anniversaries. Although Help! turned fifty-five on Thursday (6th), one of their masterpieces, Revolver, turned fifty-four on Wednesday. I love both of these albums, but Revolver is seen as one of the best albums from The Beatles, and I have been re-listening to it. The Liverpool band put out so many tremendous albums, but did they ever fly as high as they did on Revolver?! That is up for debate but, when celebrating that album’s birthday, it made me think about the other albums released in 1966; who was around them at the time and what other gems were released. In honour of that, I have compiled a Lockdown Playlist comprising songs from the best albums of 1966 – I am including two tracks from each. This weekend is a pretty hot one, so it is probably best to stay inside and listen to some great music. I have you sorted because, in the playlist below, are some great cuts from 1966’s…
