Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), Part 1

Every Beatles album is critically acclaimed, especially “Tomorrow Never Knows”(#FileUnderRAWK). But arguably, none is more important than “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, especially the Dave Dexter version, which replaces “She’s Leaving Home” with “Little Child”, obviously bettering the album.

This week, Tony and T.J., with a little help from their friend, producer Casey, begin a three part Journey/Frumious Bandersnatch deep dish into this sadly, little-discussed record on its 55th anniversary. Along the way, they find their inner groove on the following topics:

 🎹 Is Leonard Bernstein’s plucky piano cover of “She Said She Said” the definitive version?

 🏖 Was there ever a time as magical as 1987’s Summer of Mike Love?

 🏀 Is John Stockhausen the greatest avant point garde of all time?

As Capitol EMI might say, “It Was 55 Years Ago Today. Now re-buy this record.” Or just tuck yourself inside #FontLoversCorner and listen to the Gab Two geek out over this all-time Fab masterpiece!
