No, it wasn't 20 years ago today...... it was FIFTY years ago today Sgt.Pepper taught the band to play! Thursday 1st June 1967.

Album par excellence!

I have celebrated by a one off playing of my vinyl picture disc copy of this iconic album.How did you celebrate?

Happy Birthday!

A most interesting album, though I have to honestly say that "magical Mystery Tour" is more re-playable (bear in mind, it's only my opinion). I thought "Sgt." was more like the White album, (each Beatle starting to go off in thier own direction) where "MMT" was more like "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver", more of a collaborative effort.

I think I'll watch those old rare videos from this album. There was some neat animated stuff of the album cover coming to life via stop motion animation that I always liked.

Surely it 70 years ago today he taught the band to play as they sang it was 20 years ago in 1967. :-)

I remember an advance copy was played by a pirate radio ship here possibly to cover the company or person that gave it to them they said it was by The "Be At Les".

I celebrated by playing my original vinyl LP pressing.

It was 'MONO'... of course.

I can even remember where I was staying and what i was doing
on the day of its first release.

I'm going to get by with a little help from my friends, maybe a little high with a little help from my freinds, as they live on the 3rd floor - Shorty

Haha! Beatle humor ...

On an ironic bit of humor, I'm currently having a problem with beetles in my home! I hope that they don't eat celluloid! [Frown]

Now, where's that defogger?

David - .... and a fantastic mix the mono version is. I also have it and it varies slightly with the stereo version if you have ever compared them.

Osi - Your celluloid will be ok, so you can Let It Be. Just be careful with your floor coverings.... they make a loud noise on vinyl !!!!!

Melvin...For the sake of authenticity I even used my
Quad 33 pre-amp and 303 power amp as it was contemporary
with this album.

Shorty ... don't get to high or you may see Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Well, if will be for the benefit of Mr. Kite ... [Smile]
