WHATS HAPPENING BROTHER
Interesting. I haven’t read Rolling Stone regularly in a very long time, but I think they always ranked this album very high - like top 3 or 5, thereabouts. I think they always used to rank Sgt. Pepper first.
Either way, this has always been a brilliant - and important - album.
when I worked in the music business back in the 70's, the catalog number of that album was a greeting among insiders. tamla 310
