who had the best sgt. peppers outfit: john, paul, george, or ringo? discuss!!
while I like them all in their own way, ringo and George have killer hats
Paul
JOOOOOOOHN
Billy his makeup, the created Patch, OPP , No such Department existed , the Azur, his fake mustache, the wood wind instrument, Crowley is on their twice .
@@axelazaryan the way i read this in yoko’s voice
The most striking thing about Pepper to me is how visual it is. Every song has strong mind's eye imagery for me, moreso than any other album I know. Billy Shears strutting out to take the microphone (and of course looking exactly like Ringo Starr), cellophane flowers, a girl leaving home, Mother weeping in her dressing gown, chickens, horses, and dogs, watching the skirts, a car crash, the English Army, four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire. Yes, I can SEE Henry the Horse dancing the waltz to this day. Not just one picture for a song, but dozens, maybe hundreds. No wet streets and trains and streetlamps either, but all very unique and original visions. The Beatles created the greatest music video ever in 1967, and it's playing in your head.
Paul's death, ya missed that one.
@@user-fu2mi1nd5lplease tell me you’re joking
Lovely Rita is underrated. I'll go one step further, Lovely Rita is one of the most underrated Beatles tracks.
behind it’s all too much and hey bulldog, lovely rita is THE underrated beatles track
I'll go further Lovely Rita is quite kissable.
Agreed! The last 20 seconds is the best musical part of the entire album.
That one has a hidden occult message in reverse.
And it’s very-well-recorded too!
Me as an 8 year old in the early 70s -- listening to Day in the Life over and over, obsessively picking up the needle and putting it back to the start and listening again, stunned.
This is a top tier channel for classic rock
22:53 funny story, this happened to me back when I didn’t have a car and I road the bus everywhere.
I woke up one morning and when drinking my cup of coffee I looked up and I noticed that I was late.
I quickly dressed, hopped on my bike and rode it 3 miles to my nearest bus stop 20 seconds before the bus arrived.
It was on the ride to work that I realized how perfectly Lennon captured the Human experience including the struggle of running late and still managing to catch the bus.
A Day in the Life was already my favorite Beatles song and that experience made me love it even more.
Abigail, you ought to be teaching a college class on Rock ‘n Roll history, especially if your expertise and passion match what you do here with Pepper. Sure, there’s a lot of ground to cover, but you’re a natural!
that is a VERY high compliment, thank you so much. my intro-level writing class in college used the turn it up anthology as the textbook, so it basically WAS a rock-and-roll history course. kind of threw me into the deep end of writing about music but that class has stuck with me ever since. it'll be in the far, FAR future, but i'd consider teaching a college course on all this
Abigale - we finance documentaries. Reach out is you have a production team interested. You’re quite good!
I agree. I'm almost 60 and used to do album reviews in the 80s and 90s and I never did deep dives like this.
Of course, I didn't have the internet, either, but....
The Beatles kicked off when I was 11 , took my hand and led me through the musical journey to this album. It was an all-consuming moment. Lyrics on the sleeve ! Then they let us go - encourage us to pursue all those influences that thay had been informed by. Like big brothers who take you to an amazing party where you meet kindred spirits. Like Hendrix. Like Ravi Shankar. And your journey begins.
"It was fifty years ago today,Where a band began to play"
Pepper is probably the Beatles best work for this psychedelic period even tho there a mix of baroque pop and psych which just blends nicely 🌈☮🌹📯
Pepper is a lose concept album at first look but it still has a theme running through it like the applaud after Within you Without you but still its a strong album and probably my favorite by them 🌈✨🌷☮
I wish it WAS an hour long. The close up insertion about Rita, I got scared, no I loved it, I jumped, no I laughed❤.
An ode to music itself, that's memorable.
Blew my mind when it was released. It was such a dangerous experiment.
An album that lends itself perfectly to mono
Especially masterpieces like Getting Better.
There's just a brittleness to mono that gets lost in stereo.😊
Great shows you do, me re-living what you are discovering (I’m an old fart OK Boomer who was in high school when Pepper came out). But, regarding concept albums, no, Zappa wasn’t the first (I’m assuming you are referring to Freak Out). The very first one was more than ten years earlier in 1955, Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours. A total somber gloomy melancholy trip, and in my opinion, one of the great albums of all time.
I loved Lovely Rita, when I first heard it, at 11 years old. I got my mother to buy me the Sgt. Pepper album, from a flea market, that we used to go to.
"It's time for tea and Meet The Wife" is a line that probably only makes sense to Brits of a certain age. Meet The Wife was a popular mid sixties BBC sitcom staring Freddie Frinton and Thora Hird. I remember watching it when I was a kid. Probably early in the evening over tea.
This is something I like about Sgt Pepper, it feels more British orientated. The Kinks went in that direction even longer.
not even i remember that, although i do remember ours is a nice house !
Digging the outfit!! At the tender age of 9 I can remember the impact that this album had on my older brother at the time, he was 16. It was a case of before…and after, Rock Music was never going to be quite the same again, in a strange way it lost its innocence. As always Abigail, an excellent synopsis.
Right, I was 5-years old when it came out so I didn't actually come into some understanding of 'what it was until about 1969-1970. I remember being over to friends houses waiting for them to finish getting ready so we could walk to school together, and you'd see either the album jacket, or another Beatle record on the turn-table with the Apple logo face up on it.
When I was in 8th grade, my homeroom teacher lent me each Beatles record in order of their American release. Like one every week. I would record each on a side of a cassette tape.
When I got Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the music blew my mind. It was one of those records that made life technicolor (the other was Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited but that came a year later in my life and The Doors - American Prayer). I couldn't believe it!!
My favorites are: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With a Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds, Getting Better, Fixing a Hole, She's Leaving Home, Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!, Within Without You, When I'm Sixty-Four, Lovely Rita, Good Morning Good Morning, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise), and A Day In The Life.
I remember how I first listened to it. I had a portable square blue Panasonic tape recorder (permanently borrowed from my sister) that I propped on my bedroom windowsill. I would listen to it with my window open so I'd get the spring breeze and outside night sounds from the woods mixed in with the music as I went to sleep. Good times.
Thank you Abbie spending a beautifully wigged out psychedelic 26:15 taking us on your trip with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Have you ever seen Sgt. Pepper's Musical Revolution? It was a special on PBS a few number of years ago, hosted by Howard Goodall. I have it saved on the DVR thingy from 11/20/17. I highly recommend it if it ever comes around again. I don't think it's available on a hard copy.
I know you recorded this a nearly year ago (okay 6 months ago) but in the event that the next several months get winterly and sullen and dark from the recording date - Stay well!!!
One of the orchestral musicians on "Day in the Life" was violinist David McCallum Sr. , who's son was actor David McCallum, who starred in TV's Man From Uncle, and later NCIS. He was the person who suggested to Jimmy Page on an early recording session that he try playing his guitar with a bow.
Yes you do have an original Capitol early pressin'! The Fool inner sleeve was early press only in the U.S. But it doesn't include the "never can be any other way" fade out. Capitol decided not to include that on either the mono or stereo releases. Imagine my surprise when years later I listened to a U.K. vinyl release for the first time 'n side 2 ended with that crazy run out message. Thanks for yet another outstandin' video!
it does indeed appear to be an early pressing although i'd need to see the labels closer up to confirm as i am not sure if more modern 21st century US repro's had the fool inner restored.
Fixing a hole and A Day in the Life are standouts
The reason Sgt Pepper's had the same track listing in the US as the UK was the Beatles new EMI contract in 1967, where they stipulated that their choice of tracklisting and covers could not be changed in the US.
but capitol still managed to edit out the run out groove noises
Mae West was requested for her image. She responded with " Why would I be a part of a lonely hearts club?" Class Act!
haha i think diana dors had that reaction too, the beatles came up with something to convince her
i grew up with Sgt. Pepper's CD version, I was truly amazed a couple of years ago when I got ahold of a vinyl copy of this great album in mono 1st UK Press. I had the impression to rediscover this masterpiece. great video Abigail!
"Lovely Rita Fan Club" member - checking in. One of my favorites on the album, along with Mr. Kite and Sgt. Pepper. Sgt. Pepper (The album) is my favorite Beatles album and favorite album of all-time, exactly for the reason you say, this was the last album they were all really together on. They all join in on the concept of Sgt. Pepper and it's great to hear. Paul's future ideas would not be as enthusiastically received (Magical Mystery Tour and Get Back). It shows the Beatles at the peak of their creativity. Each Beatle gives an exceptional effort and shows their unique individual creative abilities but they are still working together as a finely tuned unit. Sgt. Pepper is a unique and magical moment in Rock history! Thanks for the great review, Abby!
My dad had a great looking copy of Sgt Pepper in a storage unit. He didn’t even know he had it, and was more than happy to let me have it. Definitely one of the best albums ever.
When I’m 64 is my favorite track
we often thought of the beatles and the stones as being in mild competition back then. the covers of sgt pepper and satanic majesty made it obvious. the beach boys were never mentioned in the same breath till 'good vibrations' came on the air. but they were always 'beach music' to us. love your commentary!
Yesss, lovely Rita deserves more appreciation!! I’ll gladly be part of that fan club lol
welcome to the lovely rita fan club!!
@Abigail Devoe Here's a pic of my Lovely Rita! She's a rescue from the Humane Society. Maybe 5 years old. We've had her for a year. She was surrendered. Used for breeding and fighting. She is living the best life now! Love, love love! ❤️ She is so sweet!😘💕💕 And so are you!🥰
Your Sgt Peppers dress is awesome! 🏆🏆🏆 Your analysis of the songs is really amazing---especially the Pet Sounds connection and your stellar thoughts on A Day in the Life! Wow!
thank you so much! i will take any and every excuse to wear my vintage peppers getup!!
Always got excited about a Beatles album dropping. What a mind blowing experience it was to listen to this the first time.
Thanks Abigail, love your show. I Listened to Peppers when I was a kid caught up in Beatle Mania. I think the studio, producers, record company, $$$, etc, etc. sucked the life out their music. They lost their Mojo. Early Beatles were The Bomb! Still like their 2nd album up to say 1965. Rock 'n' Roll.
This has been the most significant album throughout my life On vinyl album as a child, on tape walkman as a teenager, CD as an adult and now on Vinyl again. love it
my favorite beatles albums are "rubber soul" and "abbey road" 😉😊😄
I was blown away when I first listened to this in college. I was lucky enough to find a mono Capitol LP to play on my then meager system. When the album finished I felt like I had sat through a dramatic and compelling movie. Never felt that way about any other album even more “mature” prog albums that I loved in my youth. One of the Beatles most poignant love letters to the world ✌️🕊☮️
This album came out on my 16th birthday, and I smoked weed for the first time as I listened to it for the first time. It always makes me happy to hear it and I'll always love it.
now THAT sounds like a devastatingly cool formative experience!!
@@abigaildevoe It helped make me what I am today...OLD.
I'm playing the Giles Martin remix, since my 70s reissue has been played to death over the years. Thanks for another great musical inspiration for my Monday!
nice! gotta say sgt. pepper's is my favorite giles beatles mix
Holds a special place in my heart. The first Beatles album I listened to from start to finish, again and again
Love the Brand New fact!
Your review of SPLHCB was so incisive for someone so young! I mean, I remember the summer it was released and have read countless reviews since but you added info I hadn't heard before. I don't consider it the best Beatles album but I recognize how revolutionary it was. The jacket, the art and the instrumentation, all of it, was so advanced. My favorite tracks are not the biggies, I like Fixing a Hole, Getting Better and my sleeper, She's Leaving Home. Like Good Morning, Good Morning for you, She's Leaving grew on me over time. I love your videos and big ups for your Pepper jacket!
thank you!
on your personal favorites: what makes this album so special is that "filler" material. each and every song on that track listing has a reason for being there and serves a purpose for the album as a whole. you can't always say that for the beatles! (looking at you, maxwell's silver hammer, wild honey pie, i could go on...haha)
Dr. Robert is also missing in the US version. The three Revolver songs were included in the Yesterday and today album that originally had the infamous butcher cover.
and they were ALL John’s…. how could that not have been deliberate??
It's a musical postcard from London 1967.
Totally with you on Lovely Rita! Always loved that track. A day in the Life was recorded during the first week of my life. I love that song and the album. I was 15 when I first heard it back in 1982.
I’m aware this post is a year old so no one will care but my fav Sgt Pepper uniform is Ringo’s . A shocking pink military style uniform is hilarious and the British sailor cap is the cherry on the sundae.
You look very 60s style. My big sister was a cheerleader in 1968 at Walt Whitman High, in Huntington, Long Island, NY.. I was about 11, 12 yrs old. All the high school cheerleaders would meet at our house on Thursday night. They used to iron each other's hair on the ironing board. I only allowed 1 friend over to visit Billy. He was my coolest friend, and a real gentleman. The girls called him carrot top. He liked that. Those girls liked the Beatles, the beach boys, The Supremes, and a band called Rare Earth. Rare Earth did a version of a song called; 'Get Ready'. That was a real bad ass song.
i have that rare earth record! some real cool stuff
Small Pepper Project;... Pay particular attention to the drumming on "A Day in the Life." Quiet, elegant, perfect.. One of Ringo's very best performances. For extra credit... listen to Pink Floyd's "Paint Box" afterward. Don't these two songs have a very similar mood ? Similar use of drums, acoustic guitar and piano?
The gift from my son a few years ago was the Sargent Peppers LP picture disc. I love that you called the Paul is Dead a meme.
what a nice gift! and yes i did, because paul is dead was a meme!! (or as close as you could get to one before household internet that is)
John going crazy on the tape loops on Tomorrow Never Knows? That was Paul. I don’t want to take anything away from John but Paul was the one experimenting with them and he actually found out how to manipulate the tape machine by removing the eraser head. Paul brought in the loops to the band and suggested everyone else make some as well. Everyone else ended up contributing loops but most were Paul’s. For example, the seagulls you hear is actually Paul laughing sped up.
Sgt. Pepper is such a great album. You can't go wrong with this album.
OMG! You inspire me with your style and respect for the craft disciplines of eld. This album I never heard vinyl as by the time I got into the Beatles I had shifted to the CD world. I still remember my first experience with this album, it was a revelation among revelations, The Wall and Dark Side Of The Moon preceded it. All of them first deep experience was on cassette Walkman, out on walks in the neighborhood ca. 1989-91. Then Brian Eno in the 70's especially, hearing Another Green World for the first time later on, 1995-6 or so, that was just as revelatory as the previous trio. I was into heavy metal as a bassist in the mid 80's, but then I began to explore the influences Steve Harris of Iron Maiden mentioned in interviews back then; Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes. My first girlfriend's brothers turned me onto The Beatles as I never knew them; Rubber Soul onward was different than the boys I heard on my Mom's radio choices as a kid. I think you'd really dig my music, Abigail. Everything I do is inspired by the psychedelic dimensions of sound, especially the 1960's and 70's when all my favorite sounds already existed. The only benefit of digital I honor is for example you only need a laptop or a tablet and a USB keyboard or two, maybe some USB organ pedals like Rush used, or one amp that can model well a bunch of amps, so as to not have to haul a multi semi truck army of gear for a tour with lots of different sounds. I also dig your astrology knowings...hey there Gemini sister! I'm Gemini Moon, zero degree which is conjunct Pleiades currently at the 29th degree of Tropical Taurus, and my South Node is on Betelgeuse in the late degrees of Gemini, so I really dig your tangents, and with my Gemini ruler Mercury in my 4th house combust the Sun in Capricorn, with Saturn way up almost topping my inner sky but for Sirius as the highest shiny thing up when I was born, the Moon bright and gibbous in the 9th, slightly setting, your history talks really inspire me. I'm glad to witness anyone born after 1996 who can really sing and or play, or like yourself who has a true fan's appreciation of music and also a hands on craft in your fashion devotion. At 49 I'm singing and playing all my instruments better than ever and ready to participate in the ongoing evolution of classic Rock in the prog dimension I so deeply dig. I see a great revival of real music when Neptune reaches Aries in a few years. Music has never been so stupid to me as it has been since Neptune entered Pisces; lazy and outsourced to the robot, the Neptune in Pisces kids just space out in digital cartoon space and if there was ever any human input you'd never know it after it passes through a thousand filters and gets hacked up into a uniform grid. Anyway, old guy ramble from an age when we had an attention span the length of an album side. Thank you Abby, for keeping some love alive for the musics of old when people playing instruments together was the only way things got done.
Music stupid to me; Libra rising with Uranus, Pluto and Vesta therein. Venus stationed retro in 5th house Aquarius, Jupiter in Aquarius; I really dig it when the musicians can really sing and play. The Cure is the simplest band I really like, and they really can do lots of different things like prog, especially since they hired Reeves Gabrels. Sgt. Pepper-Magical Mystery is also my favorite Beatles period. Thanks again dear Gemini sibling, you rock!
Pacific Northwest native; I still wonder if I'm on the wrong coast for the music I really dig. Sun Ra came from Philly. All of my top favorites are English. Grunge is not to my liking. It hit me when Rush was my top favorite band followed by Yes and The Beatles. The heroin, the darkness of those kinds of people too familiar to me to really dig it. PNW has as many ghosts as the East Coast, maybe darker for the size and danger of the mountains out here. This is the western edge of the Ring of Fire after all.
Eastern edge...it's only the West in terms of the direction it is from the other side of the continent. We're East of Asia in terms of the Ring of Fire; that's to say all the land that directly borders the great Pacific Ocean.
Although Pattie might have brought the Hare Krishna movement to George's attention (one account says he first met a monk at a party in 1969), a primary early influence was the book Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, given to George by Ravi Shankar, whom he met in 1966. Harrison chose to put Yogananda and the 3 last members of that succession of gurus on the Sgt. Pepper's cover. George gave a copy of that same book to Gary Wright, who wrote his hit "Dream Weaver" about Yogananda. I also think that the line in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" about the floor needing sweeping is referring to an incident described in the book where after Yogananda's guru had caused him to have a spiritual experience, he handed him a broom and asked him to sweep up (inferring that he should remain grounded no matter what psychological state he was in).
Another fantastic review 👏 👌 The most easily recognisable tip of the hat from other musical bands other than the Rolling Stones fashioning their music 🎶 beatles 😀 like 👍 are the Pretty Things on SF Sorrow on She says good morning 🙏 which is remarkably similar to John Lennon's Good Morning Good Morning 🙏
LOVELY RiTA FANCLUB ViCE PRESIDENT HERE ! 20:30 ~
Abby, yer a gem.
The threads were uniformly well-suited, so to speak; therefore the metric becomes moustache-centric, in which case George wins.
…by a hair, naturally.
I think "Fixing a Hole" is the most underrated track on Sgt. Pepper. It's a gorgeous song - managing to be ethereal and punchy at the same time. To me it's one of the two best tracks on Pepper, along with, of course "A Day in the Life". Sorry, Abigail, but calling it a "buffer" is ridiculous!
Thank you. Also, Getting better is pretty good - both those are bettter than LSD, which has nice verses but a really annoying and heavy-handed chorus.
We had a 100 yr old barn with a couple of horses, 3 big dogs and a cat, on 2 acres. I was the youngest, my 2 sisters and brother were teenagers. Mom allowed kids to smoke pot on the property. She was a successful realestate lady. Dad never knew about her policy. She didn't want the teenagers to get in trouble. She was also president of the PTA. Funny huh? Teenager's were hanging out at our house alot. One guy said to me your mom's a really far out lady. I replied; I know. That Beatles song; 'Good Morning'; always reminds me of those days. Makes me smile, and amuses me. That was a long time ago man.
This album is as old as I am came out the year I was born I was blown away when I first heard this I got most of thier.albums on orignal This album here is what started it all for me as far as music wise
My favorite or George's Indian songs came later. It was the flip side of "Lady Madonna" in '68. It wasn't on an album till Past Masters. "The Inner Light" is a great song. An instrumental version is on the latest remasted CD of Wonderwall Music.
wonderwall is one of my favorite films, i love george's soundtrack. i noticed an alternate take of inner light was released on streaming services with the soundtrack but didn't know what was up with that
@@abigaildevoe You should definitely check out the original vocal version if you haven't heard it.
It would be cool if sgt peppers was just on the radio right now
When I was young (in the 80s) my first music loves were 60s records like the ones you love, my first tape was a Beach Boys live album, followed by Sgt Pepperoni and Are You Experienced. I did not stay in the past, I listen to mostly recent music now, but your videos touch on the same feeling that I had as a kid. I would love to hear your take on We're Only In It For the Money.
It's incredible how deeply you have dived into this. I love it.
I am like the worlds biggest Beatles fan, so this video literally made me scream with joy when I saw it posted!
So glad I found your channel. Great insights into classic albums!
John in green for me. And two of the boys sporting their M.B.E.s, which are usually never for public display, according to protocol, that's rebelliousness for you ! I'm reading Craig Brown's book, "One, Two,Three, Four - The Beatles In Time", at the moment, so your start to Season 2 was perfectly timed for me, Thank You Abi !
i gotta say i forgot about the MBEs on the sgt. pepper suits! thanks for reminding me!
Hi Abi. I’m wayne, on You Tube I’m the Aussie Vinyl Guy. Just wanted to let you know I really love your videos. Their Fresh and interesting. Glad to see the younger generation discovering these classics. Cheers. Wayne
9:12 FACTS
PEPPER!!! Congrats for the 2nd season, Abigail, can't wait for more episodes!
OMFG! I just came across your channel for the first time today and can't stop watching. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all the great research and fun of so much music that I grew up with, love and even helped mix and master in some instances. You are going to be huge, and I plan to share your channel broadly with friends, clients and loved ones.
Love the Beatles, and love your videos! 💞💓💞
In 1966/67 , the Beatles took a HUGE chance by producing this record. I've seen a You Tube clip of Dick Clark's Bandstand showing teens a pre Pepper video of the Fabs doing ''Strawberry Fields / Penny Lane''. And guess what, MOST of the youngsters DIDN'T LIKE IT and thought the Beatles looked weird with the facial hair. The Monkees were also the hottest band on the planet at the time out selling the Beatles AND the Stones for a time. This album was brave, bold and a big gamble, it might have bombed with teens, but its timing was perfect when released at the start of the Summer of Love 1967 , it BLEW THE COMPETION AWAY!!!! It changed EVERYTHING in pop music. It changed the music world completely, Again, The Beatles did it FIRST .......
i nearly referenced that bandstand clip in this video, but it was left on the cutting room floor! so strange to think that the monkees beat out the beatles here in the US for a while
The Monkees WERE the American Beatles!
@@dannymarz2568
The Monkies were a totally manufactured concoction. In the beginning all their song were written and played by others. Only Michael Nesmaith was a real musician. Give be a break.
@@richardrose2606 ...Your TOTALLY off with your opinion & facts. Peter & Mike AND Micky were ALL real musicians! DO YOUR FACT CHECKS! The Monkees were HUGE back in 1966/67 out selling both the Stones AND the Beatles for a time..
@@dannymarz2568
It's ridiculous in any way to compare "The Monkies" to The Beatles. "The Monkies" sold a lot of records - big deal. The Beatles changed music.
You look amazing!
thank you!
"The Inner Light" was the last of George`s Indian themed songs.
Outstanding content and presentation as always! 👍
Another great video Abby. I am a HUGE fan of The Beatles. I first heard the album back in the 70s as a kid, when my older brother played it on our parents console stereo. Faves include Getting Better and Fixing a Hole. Love your outfit. John's costume is my fave.
Love this video. Well done
Abigail you rock!!
Sgt. Pepper's being the ultimate complete pop album, I've found listening to the White Album as if it were the radio serves the music well;. We're suddenly living in a small Siberian town with one radio station playing a variety of music which sounds like the Beatles, some songs more arresting than others, complete with health advice on diet and hygiene, (dangers of too many savoy truffles and such), here and there a human interest story of far off lands while Revolution #9 becomes a public service announcement before the station signs off for the night...
Wake in the morning and spin the dial again!
hey that's a really cool concept! maybe that's the plot in an alternate universe where the white album is a concept album!
@@abigaildevoe welcome to my universe... :-)
President - Lovely Rita - also my fave from 1967 to present. Or how to get from the key of E major to A minor and it all works!
Excellent review, thank you.
Another favorite. The local Navy base /sailors would party harty before the random UAs. I can't remember much from those days" Purple Haze." We would go from one part to the next. I can't find my way home.love the LP.
Love the intro guitar. Sets the tone for something special coming up
That is the prefect review of that album
I had a picture disc of Pepper and it sounded remarkably good!
Really like your shown Abigail!
You are brilliant, girl!
That was beautiful the way you described a day in the life. Hope you can keep that up for other albums and maybe explore other beatles vinyl pressings cause that can open more doors for you.
Great video abby
that Brian Wilson SMiLE soundbite tho < 3 NEW FAV CHANNEL
hell yeah i'm always so happy when people notice that!! i call it Our Swear and there's a running count of how many videos i can go without filling the opening chord progression (right now it's at 0, the longest streak is 3)
❤the Beatles albums back to front on vinyl and CDs 💿
Great review as ever Abi. I was in the fan club in the early years.
Your research is impeccable. Not one crack. You're an agent sent from the sixties, are you not! Your vibe is precisely sixties (late-mid). A Day With the Wife, thank you, I'll be here for months.
thank you so much! glad you found the channel
@@abigaildevoe - cmon that's a good joke. I found it before but I was in a shite mood.
Absolutely brilliant review
Love the ps to lovely rita meter maid.
always looking for more members of the lovely rita fan club!
YES, lovely rita is so good.
Great video, Abby. Loved your opera house analogy. I'm currently studying art synesthesia and you really painted a picture in my head.
Love your musical tastes! Same as me listening to bands from the 60s and 70s. Here's my favourite: Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Grand Funk Railroad, Johnny and Edgar Winter, and a lot more.
Abigail comes up with a lot of nice looks and outfits.....very creative.
Hitler is in the crowd on the album, he's hidden behind Ringo (you can see him in an alternate photos).
Fantastic video! It took me a while to really fully appreciate this album, always liking Revolver just a little more. But as I got a little older, this album started to really sit better with me (especially after finding an original 1967 mono copy at a flea market - with cutouts and inner sleeve!) Truly an album that propelled them into serious Rock music. Amazing Pepper outfit, and you look like you could be hanging out with Pattie Boyd back in the day!
wow what a find!!
Abigail has the best personality
New to your channel already love it here. This is my music that is so intertwined like kudzu on the side of the road in my life. Instant subscriper.
Funny aside when I was in the army, Sgt named Pepper needless to say always had jokes thrown at him. But jokes on us he named his first daughter Lucy Rita.
Personally, I don't find "Getting Better" to be a filler at all. As a matter of fact, I think that it is one of the best tracks/songs of the album.
Quite interesting in reverse.
I love the last part of Lovely Rita where it gets all strange and psychedelic. The Beatles invited Pink Floyd, who were working on Piper at the Gates of Dawn down the hall, to come over and listen to the session. You can definitely hear a bit of Rita on Floyd's album. A Day In The Life is apocalyptic.
I think I see the beach boys endless summer on the top left shelf.
yes it is! not the first time someone's pointed that out!
