Based on an extensive review by my crack dealer (Fremer) I purchased this box set and had a listen to two of these tonight. As a 10 year old I watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. As an 11 year old, I saw Help on the big screen and bought the album. At 13, I bought SPLHB and MMT. Somewhere in between I am sure I listened to many singles on the radio from Revolver and Rubber soul.
I cannot remember if my albums were stereo or mono back then ( probably stereo), but listening to Sgt Pepper tonight, I can almost feel the moment I first played it - Who were these guys? This is CRAZY! They are performing some sort of rock musical with everything from caliopes to a sitar ( did not even know what that was)! Are they on drugs?
This recording is phenominal in mono and, as much as the Beatles might be an afterthought today, this album ( and I am sure the others) deserve to be re- listened to by those who have been away from them for awhile.
While MMT was a bit more of a mashup but with a great B side (including Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Baby your a Rich Man).
12 more albums to go.....
