Once released "Revolver", the Beatles left for an exhausting tour in Asia followed by an equally unsatisfactory in the U.S. where they were opposed to the famous phrase of Lennon on their popularity exceeding that of Jesus Christ . returned home with a nervous wreck and had the assurance from their manager Brian Epstein that they would never set foot on stage, back in the recording studio for a new album that should have been focused on their childhood in Liverpool.
The first two amazing songs out (not without great effort) were "Penny Lane" by Paul and "Strawberry Fields Forever" by John, but because the label wanted to release a new single, the two tracks were "requirements" for 45 laps. So the two pieces could not enter the project and the Beatles album liverpool had start all over again.
But the four were in a phase of this creative ferment that two days after completion of "Penny Lane" were already in the studio working on "A Day In The Life ", the masterpiece of their masterpiece album "Sergeant Pepper" .
"Sergeant Pepper" is the album that beatlesmaniaci waving to demonstrate how the Four have revolutionized the world of pop . They are right. There
who does not recognize the innovations on this disc a breaking point clear with what had been before and, together, a new starting point. "Revolver" had already shown how the Beatles were "forward" and "Sergeant Pepper" said that in fact they were actually going along another road.
No one had ever heard him use the orchestra in a song like "A Day In The Life", no one had ever heard of combining hard rock band and vaudeville in a way ... so naturally, no one had ever heard so many sound effects in the service of songs that eventually were phenomenal because of their (apparent) simplicity.
It probably was never released an album so obviously created under the influence of LSD. Although other musicians were slaves to drugs, perhaps even more than the Beatles, no one could bear the influence ... so disciplined in his own artistic production.
"Sergeant Pepper" is universally considered the best album of the Beatles and one of the masterpieces of the history of rock. And this, (which is far from obvious) was immediately apparent.
At its release, the American and radio days suspended for their music programming to transmit only those songs and the Times called it "a defining moment in the history of Western civilization." The album was
for two hundred weeks on chart and eventually represent an inexhaustible mine of ideas not just for pop, but also for the more evolved rock that would come later.
