Thought you were quoting from Steeler's Wheel for a moment there, Sharc.

Speaking of oldies...heard Thunderclap Newman again the other day.

Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolutions here

Not that this has anything to do with this thread...

What kind of weird pressing have you got there Rick?

E. Rigby is on every copy of Revolver I have but on none of the Sgt. Peppers.

I know it's on Revolver, I was kind of hoping he'd reply...
