Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman

1970年，Paul McCartney宣布甲壳虫乐队解散。同年，John Lennon发行了第一张真正的个人专辑“John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band”。其中充满了列侬对少年、青年时承受的烦恼、困惑毫无掩饰的忏悔般表白。强烈的自我也好、无所谓的一起也好。与过去告别的列侬呈现给我们的，是完全不同，却依然精彩的音乐。
为逝去的母亲而做的“Mother”，反映了他幼年失去父母的心情。满是嘲讽的“Working Class Hero”： “'A working class hero is something to be, if you want to be a hero then just follow me”，充满了对蓝领民众生活的冷酷讽刺。还有启示录一样的“God”，列侬以这首歌公开与自己的过去和以往的信仰断绝关系，毫不留情的抨击和否认了包括上帝和自己曾属的披头士乐队在内的种种事物，他唱道，“上帝是一个我们藉以度量自身痛苦的概念"，并列出了一第条他不再相信的事物的名字（幻术，易经，圣经，意式纸牌，希特勒，耶稣，肯尼迪，披头士），最终以一句"我只相信我自己/大野（Yoko）和我自己/这就是现实……"结束。

Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon is the third official compilation album of John Lennon's solo career, coming after 1975's Shaved Fish and 1982's The John Lennon Collection. Because neither collection spanned Lennon's releases up to and including 1984's Milk and Honey, Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon - considered the definitive Lennon retrospective - was compiled to rectify the situation.

"Love" is a fascinating reworking of numerous classic Beatles recordings by the band's original producer, Sir George Martin, and his son Giles. "Love" is also the title of the highly successful Cirque du Soleil show, a co-production with Apple Corps featuring the music of the Beatles, currently wowing audiences in Las Vegas. In creating the music for the show and for the album, George and Giles have created a continuous "soundscape"--a series of well-known Beatles songs augmented by additional instrumentation and vocals taken from their vast bank of original multi-track tapes. If you can imagine "Strawberry Fields Forever" beginning with John's original demo before going into an early take of the song and then climaxing in a musical collage including the piano solo from "In My Life" and the harpsichord pattern from "Piggies" and lots, lots more--or "Get Back" prefaced by the "Hard Day's Night" opening guitar chord, the guitar and drum solos from "The End," and segued into "Glass Onion," you will begin to get the picture. But hearing is believing! The guys have pushed back the boundaries and come up with a brand-new work that will add to the enduring legacy of the band. The result is an amazing album that not only reinforces the timeless quality of the group's recordings--the fans will have fun enjoying the roller-coaster experience of the album whilst trying to spot where all the pieces come from--it is also destined to open up a new legion of fans to the Beatles experience.
