'It's Certainly a Thrill' – The Story Of The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely ...

It may be a stretch to say Sgt. Pepper’s invented the modern idea of an ‘album’. Even though The Beatles themselves and contemporaries such as The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys had begun life as recording artists merely by merging a selection of covers and the occasional original track to cobble together their early releases, by 1967 the concept as we know now, comprising largely of a band’s own material and providing an accurate snap-shot of where those artists happened to be musically at that particular period of their career, had already begun to take shape.

The Beatles themselves had set their own ball rolling on the soundtrack to ‘ Hard Day’s Night ‘, taken it further on ‘ Rubber Soul ‘. and first portrayed their true greatness on ‘ Revolver ‘. The Rolling Stones, who’s own true greatness would be cemented in the wake of the Fab Four’s messy implosion in 1970, had moved on from being forced to come up with ‘ As Tears Go By

As for The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson was also becoming more and more acquainted with the great indoors, and they had already issued their magnum opus, ‘ Pet Sounds ’, in May 1966, a record which occupied a prominent spot in Paul McCartney ’s thoughts throughout the Pepper sessions, and there had been equally enduring, recognisably modern-day long players such as Simon & Garfunkel ’s ’ Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme ’, more than a handful from Bob Dylan ’s greedy coffers, and ‘ Yardbirds ‘ (or ’ Roger the Engineer ‘, if you prefer), while ’ Velvet Underground & Nico ’ would pre-date Pepper’s by just a couple of months and prove to be a serious rival for that year’s best release.

Instead, what Sgt. Peppers did was to take the precedent being set at the time and expand it further than anyone had until then thought attainable. They looked beyond merely showcasing their own compositions, and pushed every inch of Abbey Road’s capabilities to its limits. They explored what significant impact artwork and promotion could have on the success of an LP, and ultimately made the quality, or lack of it, the all important cornerstone of what should define the chapters of any rock n roll band‘s story.

Imagine John Lennon Lyrics - News


With all the changes taking place, it's not hard to image a better world

Here's one I've been pondering: imagine. (I think John Lennon really had something going on when he wrote the lyrics to a song of that name that has become an iconic summation of all things possible – that are good and not so good).

When the time came to work on 'Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite', George Martin was simply told by John Lennon that he 'wanted to smell the sawdust'; increasingly, Martin was becoming an integral member of The Beatles' inner circle.

Our Eye on Manila: Another Look at the Lyrics of John Lennon's ...

(Note: it was argued by an RH Bill proponent during the recent  ABS CBN episode of "Harapan"  program  that the entire geographic area of the Philippines should  not be used in computing population density.  That RH Bill proponent did not specify how many net square kilometers should be used.  But just for discussion's sake,  if one  were to use just one- half of the Philippines'  total estimated land area-- assuming that only one-half of the Philippines were realistically usable and  habitable-- our population density would be less than 600 per square kilometer. That would  still be lower than that of   wealthy  Taiwan.) I believe that one major reason why we are economically behind as  as a nation is because of corruption and the culture wherein  it  is deeply embedded.  Corruption--  same with poverty--  can  not be solved by passing a bill that will make sex education mandatory to all school children aged 10 and above.  Corruption  can  not be solved by making contraceptives readily available-- using taxpayers' money--  to any consenting individuals.
