When Sgt. Peppers was released in 1967, the album started with the magical words "it was 20 year ago today". Well now we are 50 years later and the Beatles are still going strong on the radio, television, and every now and then even in the charts. So welcome to "It was 50 years ago today" where we will publish every day a news item about what happened that day in Beatles History...only 50 years later!

For Sale: Limited Edition Paul McCartney 1964 Texan
On August 14, 1965 the Beatles appeared for a fourth (and final) time on the Ed Sullivan show, and Paul McCartney played 'Yesterday' on an Epiphone Texan FT-79N (N for natural finish). He bought it in New York in December 1964. He probably paid $175 for it, but if you find one on the internet you should be prepared to pay $3500 for it.
Or you could settle for the Limited Edition Paul McCartney Texan, of which 1,964 were replicated. Expect to pay around $300 on eBay.
