      @@bertrobinson4535 You're right in recommending "Revolver" which is hands down their finest album!
      George Harrison makes his presence felt on "Revolver"!
      "Pepper" was a Paul McCartney project!
      He named the album, invented some more fictitious characters and has his granny music thrown in!
      George Harrison is kind of there but not there.
      His "Only A Northern Song" was rejected by Producer George Martin but it had already been ruined by the saboteur Paul's obnoxious and amateurish Trumpet playing!
      The only songs I like on Pepper are "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Within You Without You" and "A Day In The Life".
      The album us so overrated!
      I never liked Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
      For all I care, it could have been entitled "Dr. Pepper's Lonely Club Band".

    Pink Floyd worshipped these guys. Without the Beatles and this album, none of the Pink Floyd albums would exist. This album was the first to put studio-produced sounds in an album and make it work. Without this, hip hop wouldn't exist, and pop music right now would sound vastly different. This album changed how music was produced

      One of The Beatles greatest songs, John came with the first lyrics but it was Paul’s idea to use ‘I’d love to turn you on”, then his middle 8 and to use an orchestra with the ascending sound. So I would say its definitely a joint song all the way, a true Lennon/McCartney.

    I just realized that Pepper was an attempt by the Beatles to give the world emotional therapy in a pop album. Each song names a common human hangup, and then resolves the hangup by the end of the song. That's why each song has a "happy" or at least constructive ending. An album for a world full of lonely hearts.

    When I was a kid in the '60's, I heard this album at a friend's house and immediately felt like I entered another world. I had never experienced anything like that before. At the time, this music was considered revolutionary. My dad was a jazz musician who also gave trumpet lessons. One of his students gave him the Abbey Road album, and soon our whole family was hooked on the Beatles, which led us to explore other rock bands like Santana, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Oyster Cult, etc., etc. It's great seeing your reaction to this music.

    It is so 'groovy' to watch younger people experience these albums for the first time. By the time the Beatles got to this period in their career, they had given up touring and had a real vacation off for the first time in almost 10 years. Before this album, they were grinding out 2, sometimes 3. albums a year along with quality singles. Even with their grueling touring and recording schedule, the quality of the material and the musical growth was nothing short of astounding. Many, including myself, consider the previous album, 'Revolver', to be their best album as well as the best popular music album of all time, but 'SPLHCB' is rightfully considered the one to have stopped the music world dead. At the time, the Beatles had not released any new material in about 9 months causing people to believe the band had simply died off. Then, it was released to the unsuspecting public. It raised the bar so high for production values and experimentation that many bands simply found no way to keep up. It is also reported to be one of the factors that drove the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson into a depressed 2 year hiatus and breakdown. It started out as a concept that the Beatles would become an alter ego marching band of sorts, but that lasted for only the first two tracks. The rest of the album was a huge experiment with new sounds and ideas. Not bad for a group of lads who couldn't read or write music. Not bad at all.

    • @MrAdriaxe
      @MrAdriaxe 4 роки тому +4

      I think the concept lasted all the way through. The first track is the Beatles introducing SPLHCB and the reprise is them farewelling them. Everything in between is played by SPLHCB. The final track is the Beatles delivering a slice of reality after the psychedelic trip from the other band.

    While The Beatles were recording this classic album Pink Floyd were just down the hall at Abbey Road studios recording Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. As Lennon and McCartney were seen many times attending Pink Floyd concerts, they were familiar with the Floyd, so one day invited them to sit in on one recording session for Lovely Rita and Syd was blown away with how McCartney took a mundane person and crafted a song. He got so much inspiration that you can see comes through in his writing, as well. The rest were in awe of how The Beatles used the studio equipment and how they crafted Sgt. Pepper's as a full album and not just a bunch of singles for air play. Needless to say Pink Floyd got a lot of inspiration on how to be experimental in the studio and the ability to craft full albums from The Beatles.

    This was a ground breaking album. A concept from start to finish. Many techniques used that never done before. People listened, dissected, marveled and thoroughly enjoyed it. Opening up minds to new sounds and arrangements. They brought in the sounds of India, where they had travelled. I don't believe that had ever been done before. They aren't music snobs. They draw from Vaudeville dance hall tunes, old English ballads, jugband, R & B and straight up rock and roll and of course, India in this album. Their music endures the test of time. My all time favorite album is Abbey Road. So much to enjoy from the Beatles. Their genius is to make you feel everything is possible.

    “Sgt Pepper” is the Beatles’ magnum opus, but they didn’t come to this album overnight. One of my favorite things about the Beatles is how their music evolved from album to album. They started as a strong beat driven, four-piece live rock & roll cover band that made its bones playing clubs and small venues in England and Germany, and by the end of their career as a band, they’re probably the most innovative and influential studio band in music history.
    Their first and second albums, “Please Please Me” and “With the Beatles” were pretty much studio recordings of their early live act, but it also included a lot of originally penned tunes, which was sort of unusual for the time, since most music artists simply recorded songs written by professional songwriters.
    By the time you get to “Help!” and “Rubber Soul” (their 5th and 6th albums) they’re almost exclusively writing all of their own material, and are dabbling in a more folksy sound influenced strongly by Bob Dylan and their use of marijuana. On their 7th album, “Revolver”, which comes right before “Sgt Pepper”, they’re experimenting with, and innovating new recording techniques which they’ll perfect on “Sgt Pepper”. Also, by the time they start recording Pepper, they’ve stopped touring, which they had literally been doing for 7 years at that point, and are able to devote more time to experimenting with their sound in the studio.
    When you get to “The Beatles” (aka the White Album), their 10th studio album, each of the four Beatles have come into their own as songwriters, and it plays out on the album, which is basically each of the four using the others as backing musicians on their individual songs, and you can sort of tell that they’re each starting to go their separate ways.
    By the time you get to their 13th and last album, “Abbey Road” (which is personally my favorite) the band is having serious internal turmoil which would lead to their breakup, but they come together one last time to craft a fitting swan song.
    If you really want to appreciate the Beatles not just as a band, but as a cultural and musical phenomenon, I recommend listening to each of their albums from first to last so you can hear their music evolved for yourself.

Some of us were little confused, including me. I recall my comment was, "It's good, but it's not really a ROCK album." That's true enough, but it takes more than one listening to begin to "get" it.

    This is considered the most influential album of all times. Rock music can be divided into two eras. Before Sgt Pepper and After Sgt Pepper. It is consistently ranked in music lists as the greatest rock album of all time. You listened to it correctly the first time, as a complete work. Many people just listen to a song or two and don't get the impact as intended. Even at the end of A Day in the Life that was like 6 guys on three pianos all hitting the E chord at the same time. Being the last song on the album, they even put the nonsense at the end of the song so that it would repeat if the turntable was left on. The entire album was pure genius.

    I love your Led Zeppelin reactions and now I absolutely love your Beatle reactions. The Beatles changed all music starting in the mid-60s and through the time they broke up in 1970. They were the first band that recorded primarily music they wrote rather than covers. In 1965, their music began to change - Rubber Soul, Revolver let to Sgt. Pepper. Those two albums that came before Pepper have some great music. Then after Pepper there's the White Album and Abbey Road and more so much good music to discover. Regarding Lucy in the Sky, John Lennon said it was not about drugs but was written about a drawing his little son did in school and that a lot of the imagery was influenced by Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland). At the time, the whole album was considered psychedelic and trippy AND alot of people who were listening to it definitely high. That was the thing to do get high and listen to music. . . . The Beatles made a lot of great great music. Hope you check out more.

    This album captures a moment in time when The Beatles were experimenting with many different instruments and styles of music. They brought Indian music into the mainstream. They started the whole Psychedelic trend in fashion and music. Their next album was completely different from this one, though. The Beatles never stuck to any one style, which is why their music still stands strong over fifty years later. John and Paul complemented each other as songwriters perfectly, which is evidenced on Getting Better and A Day in the Life. The latter song is still regarded as the best rock song ever written and The Beatle's best song! This album is an interesting choice for your first exposure to The Beatles. It's very different than The White Album and Abbey Road ( 2 later albums). My personal favorite is Revolver, but this one is a close second! Rubber Soul still holds up as well. It's very hard to choose because all their albums are so good!

    The Beatles were in their mid 20s when Sgt. Pepper came out. They were incredibly talented. They knew how to harmonize their voices and their musicianship was superb. Pink Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon around 1973 or 1974. By that time, the Beatles had broken up. They were always better together than alone. Paul had Maybe I'm Amazed and Band on the Run, John had Imagine, George had My Sweet Lord, and Ringo had Photograph. In the end they were better as a group. I recommend that you listen to "Moving Pictures", the album, by Rush. It blew my mind due to their musicianship.

    "I don't want to compare..." Well, THEY compared themselves. SGT PEPPERS set a standard that just about every band tried to match, or aim to achieve. It was The Gold Standard for bands and performers for a long, long time. Even the Beatles went in another direction with The White Album - fans also couldn't help but 'compare'. (Magical Mystery Tour was sort of a 'fill in' or 'catalog emptying' because there were a lot of SGT P-era recording sessions included there.
    For Kaleidescope Eyes, you need to see the movie YELLOW SUBMARINE. You'll 'get it' then.
    MR. KITE is John's incredible use of a circus poster from decades ago, and he was basically writing a tune based on those lyrics. When you google that image, you'll see those words written on the poster. It's an amazing song for that reason. And fun, and so deeply 'instrumented'.
    Go back to REVOLVER's LOVE YOU TO, to match with WITHIN WITHOUT YOU, and then in a year, George delivered THE INNER LIGHT as the B-side to the LADY MADONNA single. Those three tracks are pretty amazing introductions to Western audiences to George's fascination with Indian music.
    One other point - all these months after your reaction - there are songs on here that bands pull out and play in the middle of the live-performances that are simply KICK ASS. Crank up FEELING BETTER, MR KITE, LOVELY RITA and audiences anywhere are guaranteed to smile, sing along and MOVE.

    You certainly know how to dive in the deep end! I mean, starting your Floyd journey with Dark Side of the Moon, and your Beatles journey with Sgt Pepper's... :-)
    I remember hearing this for the first time. Played it all the way through, transfixed. Turned the record over and played it again. Then I had to listen to Side One again... and again.. all that afternoon.
    Somehow they seemed to be tapping into things that had always been there, but no-one had ever noticed them really and bothered to put them into songs. Some of them quite ordinary, insignificant things (I'm fixing a hole, where the rain gets in..) and some extraordinary (Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away..) but all hovering as it were between multiple dimensions of meaning and resonance...
    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was inspired by a painting John Lennon's son Julian had brought home from Kindergarten, of his best friend Lucy flying amongst the stars. Being possibly a little confused as to the difference between stars and diamonds, he'd called LITSWD. You can see the painting online, in Google Images.
    A lot of people at the time believed it was a drug song about acid (LSD) which a lot of people including the Beatles were experimenting with at the time, because of the initials and the surreal, psychedelic-like imagery in the song. But John said it was a fantasy scenario inspired by the classic children's books that all English children used to read or have read to them, Alice in Wonderland and Alice's Adventures Through the Looking Glass. if you read them (the full unabridged original version, preferably with the Tenniel or Arthur Rackham illustrations), you'll see exactly what he meant. Highly recommended. :-)

    Notice why the Beatles were a cultural phenomenon and are the top selling group of all time...They made people happy.

    This album broke the rock mold and showed artists that they can explore! -Terry, Canoga Park

    ITHIS WAS ALL ANALOGUE, FOLKS! No sampling, no (relatively) easy digital editing. Producer George Martin was the real brilliance of the album. No-one had ever heard anything so layered and complicated. It's Martin who took two unfinished Lennon / McCartney songs and turned them into A Day In the Life. Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane were originally to be on this album. But Capital Records was screaming for more singles so Martin released them. He later regretted that they weren't included on the album. But they were part of the same project and would have been two hits from the albut. Amazing chops and an incredible leap for The Beatles
