It was really to say who we liked it was about time we let out the fact that we liked Aldous Huxley. That wasn't the sort of thing we'd talked about before.

Not everyone believed Lennon when he swore that "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was simply a song inspired by a childhood drawing by his son, Julian. Lucy-Sky-Diamonds: L-S-D, right? But "Sgt. Pepper" is hardly just "acid rock." The Beatles were too, clever to date themselves with bla-' tant psychedelia, preferring innuendo instead.

which said, 'And Mr. will so they all thought that was heroin, but it wasn't at all." Prior to the recording sessions, the Beatles had shown signs of weariness and drifting apart. Exhausted from years of concert touring, McCartney and Lennon had each done some independent film work; Lennon met his future wife, Yoko Ono, in a London art gallery that winter.

Pepper" was released, Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager and stabilizing influence, died. With him went much of the spirit that had held the group together. Sgt. Pepper remains. SOFT DRI SOLID RINSE X-BODY 2-OZ.

Pepper" cost a then-unheard-of $75,000 to produce, and much of its technical wizardry was due to the Beatles' long-time produc-; er, George Martin. They spared no expense to cap-; ture musically the image of an old carnival with complex dubbing and mixing of organ music on Lennon's song, "Mr. Kite." It took a 41 -piece orchestra to create the album's unforgettable finale, "A Day in the Life," a chilling, sad musical voyage inspired by some mundane newspaper items: "I read the news today, oh boy "It winds up with an orchestra crescendo that can only be described as a cacopho-; nous scale, finally concluding with a 40-second-long piano chord.
