OCTOBER 19

If you scroll down to before October 1, you'll notice that I've added a new category called THIS MONTH IN CAPITOL RECORDS HISTORY. This category covers events that I've read have happened during the month, but I don't have exact dates. If anyone has any further information about these events (for example, the exact date when a session took place, which studio was used, what track[s] was/were recorded at a session, what musicians played at the session, and/or whom was in the booth as producer and/or engineer, etc.), PLEASE leave a comment.
