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!

The Beatles Record From Me To You
Only five days after they had written From Me To You in the back of a bus going to Shrewsbury, The Beatles were already back in the Abbey Road Studios to record the song that would become their third single and their first "official" number one.
They did 13 takes, and then recorded the B-side, Thank you Girl. In the evening they found some time for five takes of "The One After 909", which would not be re-recorded until 1969 when it appeared on the Let it Be album.
