Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

3 July 2026

Detroit‘s blues rock tandem THE WHITE STRIPES (1997–2011) released their
superlative album WHITE BLOOD CELLS today 25 years ago, on 3 July 2026.

Not an instant hit record.
#61 in the US and #55 in the UK,
but selling more over the years
when they got bigger.

Pitchfork said: “It’s here that they have finally come into their own, where Jack and Meg White finally seem not only comfortable with the path they’ve chosen, but practiced, precise and able to convey the deepest sentiment in a single bound. It’s hard to know at this point in the game where they’ll head from here, but what matters is right now.”

On 30 June 1977, American comic book publisher Marvel Comics launched a book
based on the rock group KISS. Blood from each band member was drawn by a registered nurse, witnessed by a notary public, and poured into the vats of red ink used for printing the comic at Marvel’s Borden Ink plant in Depew, New York.

Afterward, a ton of more Kiss comics followed.

26 June 2026

On 25 June 1967,  THE BEATLES went global via a live television broadcast
as part of the UK’s contribution to the Our World event. They performed
their new single ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE in the EMI studios in London.

The programme was broadcast via satellite and seen
by an audience of over 400 million in 25 countries.

Lennon‘s lyrics were deliberately simplistic to allow for wide appeal
to the show’s international audience, and captured the utopian ideals
associated with the Summer of Love of 1967.

Listen up, for once, leaders of the world.

Pulse Magazine July, 1996 📸Karen Mason

Grunge legends SCREAMING TREES (1984-2000) fronted by the late great baritone
vocalist Mark Lanegan (1964-2022) released their illustrious 7th and final LP, titled
DUST on 25 June 1996, today 30 years ago.

Kerrang Magazine selected Dust as the best album of 1996. The band toured behind
Dust for nearly two years with former Kyuss and future Queens of the Stone Age frontman
JOSH HOMME serving as a touring guitarist.

UNCUT Magazine said in retrospect: “It sounded – and still sounds – like the perfect evolution of grunge, consciously realigning that upstart music with the classic rock and psychedelia which had preceded it.”

version of Layla, sold for a record $497,500. The auction helped raise nearly $5 million

No, Eric, no more cocaine.
