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!

Happy Global Beatles Day
We have International Beatles Day on July 10.
There is a National Beatles Day on February 7.
Of course there is International Beatles Freak Day on June 6.
And then there is even a whole Beatles week at the end of August...
...so why do we need a Global Beatles Day?
Because the idea behind the Global Beatles Day (GBD) is different. It is the celebration of 45 years "Our World".
On 25 June 1967 The Beatles participated in "Our World", the first global transmission broadcast ever. The Beatles sang "All You Need is Love" and the whole world watched and sang.
