Wynonie's "Summer of Love" thread got me thinking & thought I'd research my little musing.

I found that next Friday will be the 40th anniversary of the UK release of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.

Now, let me state that it isn't my favourite Beatles work by a long way, and from this point on they lost the plot for me, but it's influence is undeniable.

The great Jimi Hendrix, on hearing the record for the first time, went out & played the title track with his band at the next gig he played. Joe Cocker did a great rendition of 'With A Little Help From My Friends' in '68, the second(ish) track from the album.

What are your thoughts on the album & it's influence over the past four decades?
