And I think they hit upon their ideal sound: experimental, quirky yet accessible, classic pop songwriting - not going so far into that vaudeville wankery that always put me off Sgt Peppers. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, blah blah, but I don’t understand how anyone can prefer Sgt Peppers to, say, Magical Mystery Tour or Abbey Road – When I’m 64? Fixing A Hole? The title-track? Unless it’s something to do with loving the production – loving the intricacies that I can’t recognise or appreciate – in terms of songs and songwriting, it’s SHIT!*
