The 'mind-blowing' Beatles album that Paul McCartney loved but John Lennon hated
In just eight years together as a band, The Beatles recorded thirteen studio albums - including seven from 1963 to 1966. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison were prolific in the early days, delivering record after record to their legions of fans.
However, they slowed down somewhat in the second half of the 1960s as their sound evolved. They stopped performing live in 1966 and that year's album 'Revolver' saw The Beatles move further away from their early style, using more studio technology and innovating with a new approach.
The following year the band released their eighth studio album, 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' - amid the 'summer of love'. It is arguably their most iconic work, capturing the counterculture movement, with Peter Blake and Jann Haworth's cover art one of the Fab Four's defining images.
