51 years ago tomorrow, things changed in music.
Like, for forever. For good. For very very VERY good.
Happy Anniversary, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. And I'll bet you didn't think I'd remember!
And that this masterpiece of an album isn't even the best record The Beatles ever did, well, that's pretty jarring, innit?
I for one love the outtakes from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Maybe because I've gotten so used to the pristine studio production from an album that basically helped invent pristine studio production, it's kinda weird and kind wonderful to hear the Fabs muddling though some of the tracks while they rehearse.
Like here. With "Getting Better."
And yet. Even here in raw and unready fashion, when the music really kicks in around the :15 mark, you really can feel magic starting to happen.
Happy 51st, Good Sergeant.
