About
On this day, the BestBuy chain in the US started giving out free copies of a special “Oobu Joobu” CD, entitled “Oobu Joobu – Ecology“. This operation was limited to the first 25 people per physical store asking for it at the service counter.
On May 27, the CD was given away when buying the new “Flaming Pie” album. This operation was limited to 75 copies per store. Reportedly there were long queues outside Best Buy stores throughout the USA, waiting for the shops to open in the morning.
In total, 3000 copies of this CD were made available.

The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After The Break-Up 1970-2001
"An updated edition of the best-seller. The story of what happened to the band members, their families and friends after the 1970 break-up is brought right up to date. A fascinating and meticulous piece of Beatles scholarship."
We owe a lot to Keith Badman 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 after the break-up and how their stories intertwined together!
The Beatles - The Dream is Over: Off The Record 2
This edition of the book compiles more outrageous opinions and unrehearsed interviews from the former Beatles and the people who surrounded them. Keith Badman unearths a treasury of Beatles sound bites and points-of-view, taken from the post break up years. Includes insights from Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Barbara Bach and many more.
