George Martin's son released an updated version of Sgt Peppers at the request of Paul and Ringo. Supposedly just a digitally cleaned up version. They said it was #1 on the UK charts this week.

Today is the 75th anniversary of the birth of George Harrison. Boy the years fly by.

No kidding. I had older brothers so I went from hearing polkas in the house when I was little directly to the Beatles and subsequently have a pretty wide taste in music, bands etc. There is good and great music in every genre, and not discounting the talent before them or since, but IMO it's the Beatles then everyone else.

But don't take my word for it...watch these two short YouTube videos

THE BEATLES - influence on famous people - YouTube

Graham Nash On The Beatles - YouTube

Boy, this thread is going to sadly continue for a long time. But the good music and good memories live on...

Kyle, I have an original Sgt. Pepper vinyl album. Bought a CD a few years later and almost wore it out. Please let us know more the re-release. This is still one of my favorites.

Sgt Pepper's is still one of my favorite rock albums. Just ground-breaking stuff for it's time, and still sounds great today. Love The Beatles in general, but that one will always be my favorite. My first copy was on an 8-track.
