40 Years Ago Today... plus one

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' seminal album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This album isn't quite the Beatles' best. Revolver is their best, followed by the White album. However, it's undoubtedly a great album and certainly their most influential. John's songs are the best (I've never been a big fan of "Getting Better"), particularly "Mr. Kite" and "Lucy." "Within you without you" is wonderful (if not quite as good as "Love You To" or "The Inner Light") and "When I'm 64" is the best Macca song. The best song on the album is one of Lennon and McCartney's best songs ever, "A Day in the Life." This was the first Beatles record I ever owned, and I always have a splendid time listening to it!
