It was 40 years ago today.....


40 days ago to the day I bought Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and I remember we were floored listening to it that night. Tonight I will get out the ol vinyl copy, celebrate and "take the time for a number of things - that weren't important yesterday"...... this one for sure is and will always be!

anyone who loves the beatles, can't imagine the excitement that record caused. artists, kids in every community, dj's, the music press and news press,parents, teachers, the film community.....lord, everyone was stunned. the band, the album and its place in history....as well as the original summer of love....its impossible to convey just how far reaching its impact on everyone around the world was. enjoy it my friend...and arrive without traveling.
the newer emi uk or japanese pressings are fine....i can remember kids in my hometown record store discussing the signifigance of each and every person on the album's cover....a pop culture history lesson had by thousands at the same time....and lyrics on an album sleeve, and a custom label and cut outs....the lp as an 'official' feature length experience!
