For the first time today, I listened to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in its entirety. Obviously I've heard the songs, but not all together in the proper order.
I actually sat back and wondered what it was like the first time people heard this record in the '60s. Placing the needle on the record so, so gently as not to damage it, then lying on the floor and taking it all in.
Funny thing is, they had no idea they had just begun listening to what is widely considered one of the best albums in the history of rock. They listened to the soundtrack of the entire decade of free love and bell bottoms. crazy.
This quote made me grin, very much.
"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music."
