Free Music Review: Hooray for a cool-eyed view
Hit: 3 Stars
So much has already been said that I write this merely to agree with the two reviewers who have given the album just one star. I think one star is a bit of an overstatement, but let's give it something like three stars, because after all, it is quite pleasant to listen to. Important or impressive in any way it isn't. Sure, as someone pointed out, every little thing on it was an innovation at the time, but innovation is not always great music: electronic sounds, too, are an innovation, but unless masterfully put together to say something, they're cousins of all the electronic blips your computer makes - hardly music you can't live without, methinks. Sgt. Pepper was so overhyped at the time that openly not liking it could get you physical injury from both hysterical girl fans and aesthetically offended boy fans - a situation nearly incomprehensible today, if nothing else because hysterical girls have been replaced by women with independent tastes. That's why I hail the new reviewers, who don't give a damn about the hype of yesteryear - you guys cannot imagine how ostracized you would have been back in the day. Sgt. Pepper just isn't that great an album; it is, instead, an example of what happens when you're so rich that the cost of studio time is of no consequence and you can just come in when you please, having had your gentlemantly british breakfast or something, play with toys and gadgets for a few hours, then go do something more fun and return whenever you feel like it. It's a collection of playtimes by the rich and talented, recorded for posterity. Talented, of course: we won't deny that these playtimes sound much better than my playtimes. And just to make sure we're on the same page: yes, A Day in the Life is pretty incredible. Wish the rest of the album were on that level.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Poster
Digitally remastered digipak edition of this classic 1967 album from The Beatles featuring 'Lucy In The Sky WIth Diamonds', 'With A Little Help From My Friends', 'A Day In The Life', 'Getting Better, 'When I'm Sixty Four' and many more. The album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London utilizing state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. Within the CD's new packaging, the booklet includes detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. A newly produced mini-documentary on the making of the album is included as a QuickTime file on each album. The documentary contains archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere. Capitol.Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman
