I still remember buying the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album in the Summer of June 1967.

Of couse, me and my friends had already had Revolver and Rubber Soul which were a preview of what was to come, but still Sgt Peppers seemed to be a cosmic shift from the yeah yeah yeah days.

I went into a store about 10AM, this was not a record store per say, it was almost like a 7Eleven because it had even simple food products, but they had announced they would have the "new Beatles album".

Sure enough. There they were, STACKS of them. Literally - and they were selling them like a lot, a queue was already formed. You pick one from one of the stacks and get in line.

I don't recall what I paid for it - that's actually a good question... what did the album sell for in the Summer of 67 in the US? Anyone know?

I do know, I didn't have enough and borrowed the cash money from my mom. "Please! Please! - I will pay you back!"... never had to, it was my "birthday present".

I recall opening it, which flipped open, finding the "poster" inside, etc., it was really cool. And I wasn't the only one playing the album that day. I recall going into my backyard, hearing the sound of the song "We're Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, We hope you will enjoy the show"from the distance. They must have been playing it very loud.

"The one and only Billy Shears!"

Lakshmi was on the front cover, just below the letter "T" in BEATLES. Also on the front cover, Sri Yukteswar Giri, Paramhansa Yogananda, Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Gandhi

I think the most interesting lyrics of Beatles songs comes from the 1966 studio album Revolver and the song Tomorrow Never Knows - adapted from the Tibetan Book of the Dead:

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing...

... that ignorance and hates may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not living, it is not living

So play the game "Existence" to the end...
... Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning

Flying through space

Within you without you

We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it’s far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it’s all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that’s gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don’t know-they can’t see-are you one of them?
When you’ve seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

Not really a Beatles fan but they did have a few good songs. I have found the idea of having Yoko Ono naked and wearing an NVA helmet low crawling around on a filthy carpet while I pop her in the *** intermittently with a pellet gun completely satisfying but not in any sexual kind of way. This is one of their best according to me:
