Not to mention this was the first album to have the lyrics printed on the album sleeve. When I was a very young chubby boy, one of my cousins made me a mix tape – Side one was the wham album “make it big” and side two was none other than sgt. peppers lonely heart clubs band. I remember thinking both albums were incredible. Now…well, I think one is a little bit better then the oother. Anyway, a great album. “Fixing a hole” is probably my favorite song, while “the benefit of mr. kite” amazes me every time that I hear it. And screw american idol for their lame ass tribute. I was cringing when taylor hicks sang “A day in the life.” I remember in the anthology when george martin played just lennons vocal track in that song, and it is so hauntingly beautiful. The soul patrol joe cocker want to be did nother for it. Probably the most essential album ever recorded.

This was also the first album in stereo, though not the same stereo we are used to today. One instrument would come out of one speaker, while others would come out of the other. there was no crossover between the 2 speakers, and no panning at all. still, having 2 speakers make different sounds at the same time on the same recording was a major step in recording history.
