4 stars When I first bought this album in 1967 it was a revelation, and turned my monochrome world into vivid colour. Everybody knew all the songs, the Sunday papers had a field day with the lyrics (drugs, dark sinister hidden meanings!), Sgt.pepper became a whole culture. the boys had stopped touring and were sending us messages from space, and all sorts of weird things were going on. Looking at it now all these years later it does seem like an odd collection of childish pop songs compared to jimi hendrix, though LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS still sends a tingle and DAY IN THE LIFE is an all time classic. The beatles were having a bit of fun and i wonder if it's still all taken too seriously,I think the white album which came the year after was far better. Anyway, Sgt.pepper is NOT the greatest ever album ever made but will always go down in history as the one that changed everything!

MUSIC RATING 5/5 PROG RATING 4/5 HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - PRICELESS
