Sgt. Pepper was released 40 years ago today. As I mentioned at a ‘God’s iPod’ interview at Greenbelt last year, it’s an album that has great memories for me. After various Thomas the Tank Engine LPs, Sgt. Pepper was the first record I really liked. I don’t know how my dad let me, but I played his ‘first edition’ version, bought the day it came out, over and over. I was about 4… and ironically my older brother, now a DJ, would always turn to me to put records on!
The final track, A Day in the Life is, for me, quite simply the best song ever written. And hence was the only choice to go out on for the last Vaux service 😉
