well ok, it was 40 actually, yesterday... but you get the idea...

anyone watch the programme on BBC last night with a load of todays top bands recording tracks from the Sgt Pepper album?

BBC R2 linky (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/60sseason/documentaries/sgtpeppers_video.shtml)

thought Travis did an excellent version of Lovely Rita and the Frays 'Fixing a hole' was outstanding.. 'She's leaving home' bought a tear to my eye (as it always does)

Mind you, using the original recording equipment was a bit of a trial for them.... analogue 4 track mono gear compared with todays high powered desks and techniques..

Thought it was quite funny that The Stereophonics had rehearsed the wrong track..

If you listen to the song, it was 20 years ago in 1967 making it 60 years ago this year!!!!!!

i was saying about the release of the album, not when the good Sgt. taught the band to play..

Far from "Blinding" but I can't help but like Oasis' version of " I am the Walrus"
