[ginscpy]

I knew they were the real deal back in 64

I think Revolver and Rubber Soul clued me in they were different, and then Magic Mystery Tour cemented for me the fact that the Beatles weren't just your average RnR band.

By the time they did Sargent Pepper's they were reinventing the whole idea of what contempory POP music meant.

And then the White Album showed us that music of ALL types was grist for their (and consequently OUR) musical mill.

These lyrics for example?

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

They pushed the poetic envelope of POP music way past anything I can ever recall that came before it.

 

[ginscpy]

Didnt even like them that much when I was 12 ..............in 1965

*Magical Mystery Tour is the title of two different 1967 record releasesMagical Mystery Tour is the title of two different 1967 record releases (START of their PSYCHODELIC period..smoke pot smoke pot everybody smoke pot!)

1/06/67LPParlophonePCS 7027Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music to drop ACID by. I loved this album and can probably still sing most of it -- including drum and instrumental solos, by heart )

22/11/68LPApplePCS 7067/8The Beatles (a.k.a. The White Album) (Music to drop a LOT of ACID by. Probably the most eclectic and creative album they ever did)

17/01/69LPParlophonePCS 7070Yellow Submarine (Music suited for people who took waaaaaaaaaay too much ACID)

26/09/69LPApplePCS 7088Abbey Road (We were getting tired of ACID, Anybody got any pills? )

8/05/70LPApplePXS 1Let it Be (Box Set) (Okay, I did let it be...on the shelf of the store. I consider this their last real album and it was bearly worth listening to)


After that they issued a whole lot of restrospective stuff.
