Good, I didnt say I was tired of your bashing of Majesties,
but by a (general attitude of) unreflected or unreflective bashing.
Imho this album is victim of a myth, namely the myth that
"This is a lame blue copy of Sgt. Peppers"...
They were on top of creativity in 1967, but I can admit it doesnt
shine thru on that album. I reckon they could have been even better -
in particular on stage - if they had spent a little less time
smokin Cannabis S' and partying.
