 A BEATLES MASTERPIECE
WHAT CAN YOU SAY. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCIBE THE INFLUENCE THIS ALBUM FROM 1967 CAUSED. 40 YEARS IS A LOT OF TIME AGO BUT THIS EFFORT ALWAYS SOUNDS FRESH AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO GET INSIDE THE BEATLES MINDS. THIS MASTERPIECE BROKE ALL THE RULES AND WHEN BRIAN WILSON HEARD THIS , HE CRIED FROM JOY AND THREW IN THE TOWEL

 Did anyone mention genius...
It seems to have been around since pre-history, so indelibly stamped on our consciousness is it. When did you last sit down uninterrupted, and let it wash over you, like it was the first time. Its presence looms so large in the culture of popular music, that it almost a palimpsest- its legend obscures its worth as a living, breathing slice of music that continues to be relevant to any listener today. Yes it is drug-informed- so was XANADU, and for all we know, the craftsmen painting the SISTINE CHAPEL were high on the paint fumes and the incense. It matters only in that it freed their already extraordinary imaginations to fly higher than ever before. Try and listen without the weight of the years- it still has the power to make you lose yourself. Listen 'in' to it, not just 'to' it. Relax--let your mind float-- downstream...

 The last move in the one-upmanship
Historically speaking, the Beatles made Sgt. Pepper because they wanted to top the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds. And Pet Sounds is just as amazing as this album, but more open and honest and, in all honesty, musically on the spot. But where Sgt. Pepper shines the greatest is in its intense experimentation (for the time). The combined use of exotic instruments, cutting-edge studio techniques (again, for the time), and mixing and mashing it all up with the strong songwriting of the Beatles. Now, even trippier stuff was created after this, but this is the album that truly defined "trippy". Historically speaking, this album was the hugest landmark the music industry will ever know. It will be several generations down the line before something like this happens again. Enjoy it now, and become as excited as the whole sixties became excited when this album came out. Buy it.

 March On Sgt Pepper! Or Is That Billy Shears?
No one can deny that "Sgt Pepper" is perhaps the greatest and most profound album ever released. It ushered in the "Summer Of Love" and is overrated, but then all great works of art are. From the album cover jacket ( which too has been greatly analyzed) to the brilliant musical textures and in-jokes ("A Day In the Life" features the the sound of the air conditioners running full blast..listen for it!) it rightly deserves its number one ranking in most critical opinion polls. I was a bit disappointed that "Mojo" ranked it #51 in its list of the 100 greatest albums of all time; it deserved a much higher position. A musical milestone and cultural landmark...we shall never see its like again.
