Sgt. Pepper! Sgt. Pepper! Sgt. Pepper!There's a great interview in the May edition of "Electronic Musician" with Beatles' engineer Geoff Emerick. Lots of great stories and juicy tidbits! Plus a nice photo of Abbey Road's Studio 2 where Sgt. Pepper was recorded!Ringeaux

Quote:Sgt pepper..... Sgt Pepper.......#9 #9 #9 #9 #9......On release the album was an immediate critical and popular sensation. Innovative in every sense, from structure to recording techniques to the cover artwork, the artistic effect was felt immediately and influenced nearly every pop-rock album that came after it.#9#9#9#9#9#9!!!!!!!!!!!Ern

Then you paste it here in your reply, and put img before it and /img after it, both surrounded by [ ] .Do a quote on my post and you'll see what it looks like.WARNING: This opens a big can of worms! You can do it on any online photo by right-clicking on the image, click on "properties," and copy the URL. You'll get hooked on it quickly! Ern
