I was only 5!!!! I have that album on Cd. I love tracks 2, 3 & 9. The Beattles were fab!

There was an interesting article about just this in today's paper...wouldn't let me highlight it for a link (rats :evil: !) If anyone would like to read it (long, but good), go to Washington Post Newspaper, click on Opinions, and it's the article 40 Years Ago Today.

Do you know I have never liked the beatles no idea why though. May have to maybe listen to the album and see what I think now.

Really, Karen? Were you an Elvis fan then? I love them both; can still remember seeing the Beatles on TV on the Ed Sullivan show on their first trip to the States!

Gosh - I hate to admit it to, I never liked the Beatles, OR Elvis :cool: !!

In 1977 (when I was 12) our music teacher disected this album in minute detail for us during music class . . . that probably killed any potential affection for the Beatles and their music stone-dead sadly :( However, I have to say the track 'She's Leaving Home' has always struck a chord for some reason - maybe I like it's melancholy and fatalistic theme.

Gosh - I hate to admit it to, I never liked the Beatles, OR Elvis :cool: !!



Wash your mouth out woman!!!:-D How can you not like the Beatles OR Elvis?
In 1977 though I was more into the Clash and the Sex pistols:lol:

There was an excellent prog on over the weekend which I watched last night - current artists recording Sgt Pepper tracks on the original 4 track equipment (owned by Mark Knopfler). You can see it again (or at least the resulting tracks, not the anguish) on a 19 minute loop on the 'BBC red button' service. Or this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/60sseason/documentaries/sgtpeppers_video.shtml
Check out the Stereophonics - v. good
