Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

[sunny-dave]

Couldn’t sleep and this was going through my head

Put the album on and listened all the way through - a work of towering genius.

Now even more awake.

White Album next.

[gness]

I’m flipping well awake now too!!!! :-(

[choux]

No headphones, gness? Shameful.

[gness]

He has, Choux. Some snazzy thing he could put around his head.
Are you still hospital visiting? Hard if you’re under the weather.

[choux]

Certainly am, gness. Yesterday was a refreshing change as it was dry and very sunny. Back to the usual weather today though. When Dave tries to go to sleep do you have a noisy vacuum? ;)

[gness]

I know how hard it is. I had eleven years of sixty mile round trips to a hospital. Weather was bad at times but my worst trip was arriving at a bridge late at night just after some drug dealers had taken a chap out to shoot him. Luckily the police believed why I was there….eventually. :-)

No noisy vacuum needed. I can snore for Ireland.

[choux]

But if you are asleep would that not spoil the enjoyment of knowing you kept someone awake?

[gness]

Oh no. He’d tell me. Bit like the daughter in the next bedroom who had to put tissues behind pictures on the party wall because I was rattling them. :-)

[choux]

Reminds me of 25 December, a nurse had put a tablet on the small desk in the ward that was chucking out music. Nurse came and asked if anyone wanted the music turned off, so OH replied "yes please!" Nurse replied "I thought so, the tissues in your ears gave the game away" :)))

[gness]

:-))

[Mozz71]

Play Abbey Road next. Here Comes The Sun will seem almost prophetic.

I agree, St Pepper was a ground breaking album and i used to listen to it over and over. The White album is very long with some good tracks, but i still do not understand the track "Revolution no 9" as it appears to have no meaning to it.

[10ClarionSt]

I bought all the Beatles stuff up to that point. I never bought Sgt Peppers. The only Beatles thing I bought after that was Let It Be, the LP. I just lost interest and wasn't keen on all the meditation gubbins and the psychedelia. I must be right. I'm the only one in step!

[bobbinwales]

Yes William....I agree on revolution 9 ( but Revolution is great)

[Prudie]

I'm a bit of a philistine and immature when it comes to appreciating some music, especially when I was young. I accepted all my peers thought the White Album was the best ever and most intellectually deep closely followed by Sgt Pepper. I just nodded in agreement with them but now I'm older and don't care so much what the right thing to think is I can say I didn't like the Beatles that much once they became weird as per those albums.. Their stand out album for me has to Revolver by a mile.
