THE BEATLES "sgt.peppers lonely hearts club band" 1967. vinyl/cd
i neednt write anything really, the cover explains who and what this one is!
not too many albums can be said of as influencing music for decades after they were released, this is one of probably a handful that can hold that candle high!
released in the 'summer of love', "sgt.peppers" is a historical statement not only for music, but for society in general back in 1967. i feel that although this is a good album it does sound dated and stuck in '1967'(as ive argued about in a thread some months ago), that, however, does not make it any less important or enjoyable to listen to.
this one has everything, the psychalelic overtones of Lennons tracks, the whimsical pop tunes of McCartney, the eastern influence of Harrison, and the token vocals on a McCartney song by Ringo...along with one of the greatest songs ever put to tape in "a day in the life", a joint John/Paul song which finishes with a single piano note,allbeit be accident that lasts for 43.5 seconds.
theres backwards guitars and vocals, snipets of jumbled music and some of the finest lyrics the Beatles ever wrote.
Gryphon may correct me on this, but i believe "strawberry fields forever" and "penny lane" were recorded during these sessions also, if that is so, it shows the strength of this album when neither track is included on the album and also again just how good the Beatles were.
worst track: you gotta be joking...its The Beatles!!
best track: take your pick!!!
