The LP “Beach Boys Concert” was released on Capitol Records. Produced by Brian Wilson, the live album was their seventh LP over all, and their third of the year. Recorded at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California on December 21, 1963, the performance was not augmented by any additional musicians, although it received heavy post-production at United Western Recorders in Hollywood in August of 1964. The LP would go on to become the first live album to top the Billboard chart, maintaining that position for four weeks during a sixty-two-week chart stay.

Another one for today, from 1979:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers release their third studio album, “Damn the Torpedoes”. It would be a critical and commercial success, rising to #2 on the Billboard 200 chart and going on to be certified Triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. In 2020, the album was ranked #231 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The title of the LP comes from an exclamation by David Farragut, an officer in the Union navy during the Civil War. Warned of mines, then called torpedoes, in the water ahead, Farragut said, “Damn the torpedoes! Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!”
