Amazon.com essential recording
Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman

Summary: Hurry Up Crapitol Records 2008-10-08
Comment: It's taking forever for Capital Records to release the Mono version of this recording.The Mono sounds better and is quite different,a couple songs are even played in a different key than the stereo versions. Pick up the Millenium Remasters Collection import for true joy

Summary: car crash victims don't sing and play the bass 2008-10-03
Comment: Hi, my name's Scott, I'm 12 next spring I have been studying all Beatle litterature and theirown sleazy CDs and I have come to find without a single shotgun doubt that PMC was really killed beyond reecognition after the infamous carcrash that took his life on wednesdaymnornnng at 9 o clock.
Listen, grandiose naysayers and other friends, you just can't go on pretending he's still the same today as he was burns of the Past Age' - the man is really no more, he is exit, finito, passed on to the merry pastures, he's friggin dead.
See why Heather Mills was so upset when she found out she married an imposter.
Cheers Bob, here's to ya!

Listen, grandiose naysayers and other friends, you just can't go on pretending he's still the same today as he was buried on high farm in Scotland 'all those years ago'. Get over it 'Fans of the Past Age' - the man is really no more, he is exit, finito, passed on to the merry pastures, he's friggin dead.
See why Heather Mills was so upset when she found out she married an imposter.

Summary: Doesn't Seem To Be Holding Up Well 2008-10-02
Comment: I wanted to start this review out by stating that this is mostly of value as a historical document. But, after having listened to Beethoven, Haydn, and Richard Wagner today (all of whom truly DO hold up after 125-plus years), I had to change my mind. This is mostly fluff: I-V based junk that on his worse day Mozart would have been embarassed to own up to.
The Beatles were mostly their producer, George Martin. Martin assimilated the advances in recording techniques that were used on truly great recordings like the Georg Solti-conducted Ring Des Nibelungen cycle and applied them to the mostly folk-derived musical structures of the Beatles. Without Martin, the Beatles were doing pretty much what Elvis and Little Richard did back in the '50's. And then, not even that good.
"Day in the Life" is the only thing on here that seems to be worth much, and even that shows obvious Martin touches throughout. In fact, he should be making royalties to this day, as he was just as much a writer of these tunes as Lennon/McCartney.
I realize that alot of people love this album, but if I were to direct anyone to buy just one Beatles album, I'd have to choose the White Album; at least the playing of the musical instruments at times rises above the level of junior high school. But even there the production dominates.
It's really obvious why the Beatles stopped touring. Think about it.
