Summary: ALCEU NATALI'S CLASSIC ALBUMS:... AND ON THE 7TH DAY GOD REVOLVED HIS VINYL PLAYER.
Comment: For my definition of 'classic' albums please refer to my review of 'Heaven Or Las Vegas' by the Cocteau Twins.
If The Beatles had ended their career with the album "Help", they would still remain the best pop and rock band of all time. But that was not meant to be. God wanted more. It was Thursday and God still had one more working day. I was amazed, astonished and stunned with God's creations on the first five days of the week. It was too much to me. But on Friday he seemed to be in a better mood and came up with something half sweet, half weird, called Rubber Soul, an ape losing his body hair and tail and standing on his two feet. And then God said: "I've had enough. I've created human being and a world for him. Now I'm gonna rest and take back something earthly to review. What? I need sometime for myself!" Then on Saturday, God revolved a black vinyl on his player, rolled up a joint, lit it up, relaxed and enjoyed the sound. 1. Taxman. "What's that, man? I can't believe it. Boy George roars and burns like I never heard before! 2. Eleanor Rigby. "Hey, Polly, this is so sober and beautiful. Looks serious and focused like me on my first working day!". 3. I'm Only Sleeping. "Wow, that's cool! What's this Johnny up to? This is just like I'm feeling now, floating up stream!". 4. Love You To. "Now what? Boy George again, going high and going eastern like when I started! 5. Here, There and Everywhere. "Oh that makes me weak in the knees. Polly made it especially for me to hail my omnipresence!" 6. Yellow Submarine. "Hey, Polly is not that serious, he likes to play too, like a child who makes adults delighted with her merry tunes!" 7. She Said, She Said. "Now, that got me rolling, Johnny! It is growing weird, man!" 8. Good Day Sunshine. "Well, I'm so moved with this shining tune! I remember it like it was today when I created a star for the humans". 9. And Your Bird Can Sing. "Johnny is like a magician. He makes the animals rock and sing along. That's my guy"! 10. For No One. "That's Polly again! So serious and gorgeous. He makes me cry out of emotion!" 11. Doctor Robert. "I've said that's my guy! Yeah, you're right, an appot a day keeps the doctor away!". 12. I Want to Tell You "Oh, thank you, Boy George, for the bonus. Your first two tracks were just fine". 13. Got to Get You into My Life. "Hey, Polly, you do not need me anymore. You've done great things. You can be on your own now!" 14. Tomorrow Never Knows. "That's why I told you this is my guy. What do I call that? I think I'm gonna call it psychedelic". And then, on Sunday, God went down to earth again to make something to celebrate this revolving masterpiece his human creation had made. And he made Sgt. Pepper and it became more famous only because it was God's idea!

Summary: Their Best Album (No Pun Intended)
Comment: This is the one. It beats Pepperland, and even Rubber Soul - and Rubber Soul being better than just about anything else in the normal world!! Ladies and Gentlemen, I was there in 1966. 1966 was THE YEAR for music, especially for rock music. Motown, British Invasion, American Rock - especially The Byrds and Dylan were at an all time high. People always wax prolific about the "Summer of Love" in 1967 and all that B.S. but, in 1966 you had Revolver, Pet Sounds and Blonde on Blonde. Beat those albums. Not to mention 5th Dimension by the Byrds, Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel's efforts. 1966 was the last stand. Turtlenecks, black suits,
Beatle Boots and Brian Jones haircuts were replaced by dirty looking men that looked like Charles Manson. What is cooler? Huh? Revolver was the last time we saw the "mop-tops," but this time, they had an "edge" to their music. There was a little more bite to it. And to those that STILL do not know, Paul played the guitar solo on Taxman!!!! This is their best album. PERIOD.

Summary: The Turning Point For The Beatles
Comment: From just three years(1964-1967), The Beatles were "I Want To Hold Your Hand", to, "I'd Love To Turn You On", Just three years and only after three years the band was at there peak and was starting to go into the full relams of psychedelia music. Such songs as "Love You To", and "Tommorow Never Knows", were unheard of as "pop" songs at that time. The Beatles were taking a giant step though Revolver still has a few of there short and snippy love songs it really marked the beginning of a new era for the Beatles. Revolver is probaly one of the first mainstream albums that includes psychedelic music and was just a hint of what was too come in one years and how many great albums would come out and change music forever.

Summary: Terrific!
Comment: After shifting gears with RUBBER SOUL, The Beatles turned out another classic album in REVOLVER. Split into two albums when first issued in the US (YESTERDAY AND TODAY -- initally with the "Butcher shop" cover and then switched to the Steamer trunk cover of the lads -- and REVOLVER with less songs. YESTERDAY AND TODAY used some tracks off REVOLVER'S UK release such as "Dr. Robert" and some 45 singles that had not been collected elsewhere such as "Paperback Writer", "We Can Work it Out"). There are a number of really stand out songs on this one: Harrison's "Taxman", Paul's "Got to Get You into My Life", John's "She Said, She Said" (reputedly inspired by an acid party where Lennon heard Peter Fonda utter the line "I know what it's like to be dead."). Also are the eeriely sad "Eleanor Rigby" and the jaunty "Yellow Submarine" and "Good Day Sunshine". Topped off with the grand finale, "Tomorrow Never Knows" (a psychedelic song if ever there was one.) A Good time is guaranteed for all.

Summary: Cornucopia
Comment: Released in August, 1966, at roughly the same time the Beatles stopped touring for good, "Revolver" remains amazing in its sheer variety. The songs are all over the map: Paul McCartney pays tribute to Motown with the horn-driven "Got To Get You Into My Life"; Ringo sings about the joys of living in a "Yellow Submarine" (later the basis for their delightful third motion picture); George Harrison expresses his Indian interests in "Love You To" (and delivers a jab to the Inland Revenue with "Taxman"); and John Lennon explores his own head with "She Said She Said" and the astonishing "Tomorrow Never Knows", in which his voice, filtered through a revolving Leslie speaker, is combined with backward-masking to create an eerie masterpiece, unlike anything heard from a pop group before, even the Fab Four themselves. This new, far more complex music could not have been successfully duplicated onstage, and the group thereafter left live performing behind. Now, the recording studio was their painter's canvas, and would remain so for the remainder of the group's existence.
