Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
What more can be said? Inspired by the Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds", The Beatles accepted the challenge and advanced their musical depth by huge leaps and bounds. Incredible to compare the bubblegum sound of "Meet the Beatles" to this gem four years later. Every track is terrific.
