Three weeks before their official release, tracks from The Beatles’ latest album, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” leaked on WMCA, a US radio station based in New York.
My fondest memory of the WMCA and the Good Guys was the night in May 1967 when Gary Stevens and the Wooly Burger debuted Sgt. Pepper. Stevens feigned shock that the Wooly Burger had purloined an advance copy when on a trip to England. To hear that amazing music coming out of my brother’s AM car speakers is something that I will never forget.

Beatle LP smuggled in
CONTRARY to whatever legalities have been imposed on the new Beatle album, WMCA disc-jockey Gary Stevens, who has just returned from England, managed to sneak a copy out of the country, and the station is now playing selected tracks, which started last Thursday with “She’s Leaving Home, Everybody.”

We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
