I hadn't initially been planning on buying the anniversary edition of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I mean, whatever pithy sonic nuances are revealed by the remixing will probably be lost on my tinnitus-ravaged ears, and -- honestly -- how often does one really re-visit a bonus disc of outtakes and demos?
I've already owned (and still own) the original on pretty much every medium it's been available on (I believe my mom used to own it on 8-track). Do I need it? No. But, in the wake of this hatchet job in Salon, I'm tempted to buy multiple copies just to piss off its author.
Also, call "She's Leaving Home" forgettable in front of me, and you'll wear my beer.
