Happy Birthday, Sgt. Pepper

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the US release of Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

Here is an interesting discussion about the influence of this album on recording technology, the music industry, society, and the Beatles' career.

Check You Tube for more videos of half-century reflections on the album, including this one with Jeff Goldstein, who wrote the scathing review mentioned in the above video.

For something different in the Music subforum, post up a video of your favorite song from that album or "like" your favorite if someone else posted it up before you.

I watched the PBS special on the creation of the album. They rewrote the book on mixing music on that album.
