First metal?
“Helter Skelter” - Beatles
After my freshman year at Cincinnati (Go Bearcats! vs ‘Bama), the petite blonde with BIG blue eyes who lived next door joined me in heading to LA - eventually found an apt in Hollywood...and just a few months before Charlie Manson & his satanic followers.
One Saturday afternoon listening to my cheap clock radio tuned to KHJ, I was hearing new songs and a guest DJ who spoke about what the song was about or what was happening in the studio during the recording sessions.
The songs? The complete “White Album”
The guest DJ? George Harrison
A week later the album was released and I bought a copy at a small shop on Sunset...it had the “raised” serial number.
