June 1 2007:
It Was Forty Years Ago Today..

…that my brother was celebrating his 19th birthday

But also when The Beatles released Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, a landmark album if there ever was
one. It was the first album in the UK to have the lyrics printed on the back and the gatefold cover was also a novelty. The original artwork was done by Peter Blake.

And of course there was not a duff track on it.

Forty years in the blink of an eye. Great way to suggest that blink with the blur.
