And it doesn't seem that long ago that it was the Twentieth Anniversary.
I have to say though that whilst I think it's a great album, it's not my favourite (that honour goes to Abbey Road), but I certainly think it marked a milestone in musical innovation as part of what was going on. I still enjoy the opening guitar solo of the title track, enjoy the little nods to the past, such as She's Leaving Home and When I'm Sixty-Four, and find A Day in the Life creepy, et compelling.
And McCartney is still churning out music. Next week he has a new studio album out! And below is the video to his single "Dance Tonight", featuring Mackenzie Crook and Natalie Portman.
I have to say it seems strange though, that Macca would let a postman into his home and demand a cup of tea!

You should have waited until Friday to write this blog. Then you could have said "It was 40 years ago today, that Sgt Pepper taught his band to play...".
I always alternate between Revolver and Sgt P as my favourite Beatles album. Depends what mood I'm in.
A little shout out that it was 10 years yesterday that Jeff Buckley died while swimming in the Mississippi River. A very talented singer who never sang his songs the same way twice. Class.
I could of waited, but that was the main thing I wanted to blog on at that time, so...
I like Revolver (esp Here, There, and Everywhere. Good Day Sunshine. Taxman. For No One. And Your Bird Can Sing. I Want To Tell You), but still prefer Abbey Road
