A totally different sonic (and emotional) experience, and (as much as I like Sgt. Pepper) a superior set of music in a lot of ways. The track listing:<br />"Purple Haze"<br />"Manic Depression"<br />Hey, Joe"<br />May This Be Love"<br />I Don't Live Today"<br />The Wind Cries Mary"<br />Third Stone from the Sun"<br />Foxy Lady"<br />Are You Experienced"<br /><br />Ad 1967 was a pretty good year in a lot of ways for the rock/pop world. <br />Other rather special rock/pop albums of 1967:<br />Bob Dylan, "John Wesley Harding"<br />Jefferson Airplane, "Surrealistic Pillow"<br />Cream, "Disraeli Gears"<br />Moody Blues, "Days of Future Passed"<br />Rolling Stones, "Their Satanic Majesties' Request"<br />The Velvet Underground and Nico..<br />The Doors, "Strange Days"<br />Leonard Cohen, "Songs" (only a few people noticed it at the time; I'm actually sort of proud to say I did)<br /><br />It wasn't, in my opinion, a great year for jazz, but the major releases included<br />John Coltrane, "OM" and "Expression"<br />Duke Ellington and the Orchestra, "...And His Mother Called Him Bill" (a tribute to the music of Billy Strayhorn)<br />Stan Getz, "Sweet Rain"<br />Nina Simone, "High Priestess of Soul" and "Silk and Soul"<br />"Ella and Duke at the Cote d'Azur"<br /><br />Not that "Sgt. Papper's Loney Hearts Club Band" wasn't special...Don Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198988872512792834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-30120404273078997162017-05-31T11:50:57.368-05:002017-05-31T11:50:57.368-05:00I'm sure the new 4-CD box set of the "rem...I'm sure the new 4-CD box set of the "remastered" SGT.
