It was the summer of 1967. I was 14 and 1/2 years old, the biggest Beatle Fan of all my friends and the much anticipated "Sgt. Pepper" album was almost ready for release! Finally, the day had come, as I raced down to the local music store! I bought it and brought it home. I stared at the strange but cool artwork as I unwrapped the package. I put it on our Sears StereoPhonic Turnable (how modern!) amd adjusted the bass and tremble controls.Of course, I had every album to date, and was nervous about this new one. Would it be better than the last one?? Would I like it?I played all the songs....and then.... "A Day In The Life" came on. I was mesmorized! It was the BEST song I had ever heard! I played it over....and over...and over! I could not get enough of this song! Especially the end, where the last chord takes 36 seconds to fade away! Unbelevable!! And it still is....45 and 1/2 years later!!
