Note: With Revolver, the Beatles made the Great Leap Forward, reaching a previously unheard-of level of sophistication and fearless experimentation. Sgt. Pepper, in many ways, refines that breakthrough, as the Beatles consciously synthesized such disparate influences as psychedelia, art-song, classical music, rock & roll, and music hall, often in the course of one song. Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita." There's no discounting the individual contributions of each member or their producer, George Martin, but the preponderance of whimsy and self-conscious art gives the impression that Paul McCartney is the leader of the Lonely Hearts Club Band. He dominates the album in terms of compositions, setting the tone for the album with his unabashed melodicism and deviously clever arrangements. In comparison, Lennon's contributions seem fewer, and a couple of them are a little slight but his major statements are stunning. "With a Little Help From My Friends" is the ideal Ringo tune, a rolling, friendly pop song that hides genuine Lennon anguish, à la "Help!"; "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" remains one of the touchstones of British psychedelia; and he's the mastermind behind the bulk of "A Day in the Life," a haunting number that skillfully blends Lennon's verse and chorus with McCartney's bridge. It's possible to argue that there are better Beatles albums, yet no album is as historically important as this. After Sgt. Pepper, there were no rules to follow -- rock and pop bands could try anything, for better or worse. Ironically, few tried to achieve the sweeping, all-encompassing embrace of music as the Beatles did here.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All Records are original pressings unless clearly stated.
All Records are visually graded.
If any LP is play graded details will be noted.
GRADING SYSTEM
SS (Still Sealed): The LP is still factory sealed.
M- (Mint Minus): Perfect in every way.
NM- (Near Mint Minus): Like new, most likely unplayed.
VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus): A record that has a few visual imperfections that will not affect the sound. Likely played only a handful of times or never at all.
VG+ (Very Good Plus): A few more surface marks than a VG++. The record has probably been played before but well taken care of and should play with a few audible imperfections.
VG (Very Good): The record will display light surface scuffs and marks. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or pops here and there. A VG record will play with very minimal noise and will still be quite enjoyable.
VG- (Very Good Minus): The record may have some deeper audible scratches, marks, scuffs, etc. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG
G (Good): The record will have heavy wear and very apparent surface noise.
Poor: Records with this grade should be considered starter copies and in no way considered an enjoyable listen.
VERY IMPORTANT: The limit for each package will be FOUR lps. If you win more than FOUR records from my auctions please ask for a proper shipping quote.
By placing a bid on a item you hereby except and agree to all terms, grading & shipping stated.
