2. The best complete album in history.

I've been listening to it for 47 years and still occasionally find something in there I hadn't noticed before. The skill and commitment that went into that album is phenomenal.

5. They must have got it from This Day in Rock, or vice versa.

This Day in Rock is notorious about getting the dates wrong. I always check it against Wikipedia.

They say it's today too.

I mean, there's no guarantee that Wikipedia is right, but it does have the advantage of numbers on its side. There are so many people poring over its entries.

Thanks for the thread anyway.
