Inside the Vault: with Editor Joe Viglione

 

We were working on "the vault," today, Varulven Records vinyl collection. The computer tech and I dismantled the back wall, where I found my long lost copies of the band The Cars' biography, Frozen Fire by Toby Goldstein, and Allan F Moore's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band ...Saturday May 21, 2022 around 2:55 pm :





The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Author(s): Allan F. Moore
Format: Paperback
Publisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom
Imprint: Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 9780521574846, 978-0521574846
Synopsis
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [tel] represents the highpoint of the recording career of the Beatles. This is the first detailed study to be made of this or any other such album, and it demonstrates how serious discussion of popular music can be undertaken without failing either the approach or the music. Dr Moore considers each song individually, tying his analysis to the recorded performance on disc, rather than the printed music. He focuses on the musical quality of the songs and the interpretations offered by a range of commentators. He also describes the context in which the album was written - both within the career of the group itself and within the development of popular music globally, both before and since.
