That may be so now, but what I had meant, it was for a long time the most sold album, until 'Thriller' of the King of Pop came out.And it was in fact setting standards by which mainstream music is still produced until today (with orchestration etc). <snip> > I suspect that's a factor with the enduring popularity > of Sgt. Pepper in the "Best Of" surveys. Sgt Pepper had many nice songs, but the title song didn't strike me as especially genial. It was the overall quality of recording for the time, the blending of songs into each other, bundled by a common theme, which made it unique. One of my favorate songs on it is 'A day in the live', a song hardly known by most people. ------------------------ Yahoo!
