    Sgt. Pepper

    Thanks gooddognigel!

    It's nice to hear from someone who agrees. I didn't know that about George Martin and the time limit on recordings, but it makes sense. I think a lot of time musically, especially in rock and roll and pop music, the best music is done on the fly. A lot of great songs, from "What'd I Say" to "Stand by your Man" were written in 5 minutes.
