It was 40 years ago today.....

Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was one of my favorite groups of all time, right up there with The Dukes of Stratosphear, or maybe The Hindu Love gods! ;^)

Seriously, one of the mind blowing Lps of my youth. I think we first listed to a Mono copy. Very cool. *****

My Dad dug the album too. I think that was one of my first records we found common ground on.

Anybody running the OMR UHQR?

Happy Listening!

I did not know about the 40 yr anniverary of Sgt Pepper but something made me put on "Concert for Bangladesh". I admired George a lot. Now I gotta find the Pepper. Thanks.

I've been thinking about listening to Sgt. Pepper all day! Even considering hooking up my turntable to listen to the vinyl copy I purchased sometime around 74 after wearing out the original lp I had in 68. Maybe I'll just listen to the cd while looking at the lp cover.

I don't want to start any kind of CD vs. LP flame war, but I hope you hooked up your turntable. I have the CD of Pepper but I'll pass on that. I find the LPs to have so much more emotional connection and "in the room" sensation.

Plus, the Beatles are so great I think it's worthwhile to re-experience the physical involvement of playing an LP when it's the Beatles. The acts of cueing the stylus and flipping the record both help me relive the total experience.

Too lazy. You are correct though as far as emotional involvement. On the other hand, there are aspects the cd brings out such as Paul's gorgeous bass playing on "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" that aren't evident on the lp.

SPLHCB was the first album I ever purchased!
