Review: Paul McCartney grinds pepper in The Lives of John Lennon by Albert Goldman; behind the scenes with the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Abstract

Review of the chapter Paul grinds pepper from the book The Lives of John Lennon (1988) by Albert Goldman, which brings relevant, lesser known and controversial data on the LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band released by the Beatles in 1967, and also the compact disc with the tracks Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields forever, also released in 1967. It also brings the historical context of the most radical aesthetic turn in the career of the Beatles, especially the recordings of Rubber soul (1965) and Revolver (1966).
