 I agree. Also if they had included the Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny
Lane single on the album than I wonder if people's perception of the album
would be different. I know for me that considering this makes it all the
more impressive. Basically people go on too much about it being the
greatest album of all time etc. If it was some unreleased obscure record
then I'm sure that it would undoubtably be regarded as classic, (which it
is), even among underground circles.

P.S. In my opinion Tomorrow Never Knows is the greatest psychedelic song
ever recorded. I've never heard anything else that comes as close to
expressing the experience of an acid trip...
