Me being me I was far more thrilled that while he was recording the album for them my idols were next door recording Piper at the Gates of Dawn but I still regard Sgt Pepper as one of the most important albums ever recorded and I still love listening to it. | |||

Your parents were right about Pet Sounds though but it was Revolver that influenced Brian Jones to make Pet Sounds so I guess it all started there. Pet Sounds is still my favourite album of all time.
Brian Wilson, chick. Lovely, sweet, dear Brian "Of course it is, stupid me!!! | |||

Nah the chick in the video was called Leah something. "Now that was an interesting Google - Lee Kavanagh was the person concerned (although am pretty sure Tracie Young is in the video too) - apparently Lee Kavanagh was also a voice on Department S' "Is Vic There?" and to complete the connection Vaughn Toulouse of Department S is pictured on the cover of Bitterest Pill

"To lessen the risk of an enjoyable thread stagnating,can you give a better clue?" The band (all women) to which the singer belonged had a huge hit with a song of the same title as a Prince song (although different song), featured on the Rainman soundtrack and rose from the ashes of a Two Tone band (the lead singer being the main difference) | |||
