I went to college in the middle sixties. My friends and I marked the passage of time in many ways and one involved the release of new albums by our favorite bands-- the Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Who, Airplane, Big Brother, Dead, etc. When we got wind that a new Stones album, for example, was coming down the pike, some of us would shop around for the finest LSD to commemorate the event. When Between the Buttons came out in February 1967, many of us had heard it already because the U.K. company had released it a month early in the hope of stacking up some heavy import sales from America.
