It was 40 Years Ago Today!

Yes, Sgt. Pepper was released 40 years ago today.

1967 was a big year for music where some of the greatest albums were released all in the space of a few months. Really, it was the 1966-68 period that were some of the biggest, but alas, it coalesced in 1967. Some of my favourite titles:

Piper at the Gates of Dawn
The Doors
Surrealistic Pillow
The Velvet Underground and Nico
Sgt. Pepper
Magical Mystery Tour
Are You Experienced?

And there are so many I'm just not thinking of right now. For the Rock world, it was phenomenal period of growth and development. Why isn't the Industry getting behind it more?

Hopefully, if there's an industry left, 2017 will treat this better for the 50th.
