Who ever claimed Sgt Pepper was a “rock ‘n roll” album?
The Beatles didn’t.
Rolling Stoned Magazine, self appointed authority of a generation calls it one:
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6595610/1_sgt_peppers_lonely_hearts_club_band
“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is the most important rock & roll album ever made, an unsurpassed adventure in concept, sound, songwriting, cover art and studio technology by the greatest rock & roll group of all time.”
They are the same corporate entity that tell us how wonderful Al Gore Jr. and Bill Clinton are.
Who ever claimed Sgt Pepper was a rock n roll album?
Exactly. And, one must be aware that there is a significant difference between Rock n’ Roll and Rock and Roll.
I prefer the former, but no one does it good anymore. Last group I heard do Rock n’ Roll well were the Stray Cats. But then, I’m a child of the 50’s...
