EMI Records, for its part, celebrated the occasion by releasing the album on compact disc. As a group of well-wishers and Wife Linda watched, McCartney cut a cake shaped like the drum on the album cover and listened to the music that for many epitomizes the spirit of the psychedelic '60s. "It still sounds fresh," remarked McCartney, 44. "Was it really 20 years ago that we made that record?" Then the pop legend spoke about his continuing commitment...
