The Osmonds' 'Sergeant Peppers Album'

[_Arrakis]

It was released the same time as this



One was on Billboard's album chart for 741 weeks and one was not
One sold 50 million copies and one did not
One is considered one of the greatest concept albums of all time and one is not

....the Devil is obviously behind this travesty

It's also on Spotify!

It's actually a pretty trippy album. I thought it was gonna be all treacly and gooey. But it's got a nice early-70s "acid rock" sound to it. I am guessing Harold B. Lee never listened to a note of it before giving his blessing. You can definitely hear the Sgt. Peppers influence on songs like Movie Man. I never knew this existed, either. Thanks, SP, for sharing some Mormon psychedelia this morning.

Are You Up There is a really terrible song, though. Sorry, Alan O.

Hey Sock maybe I should buy this for our next slumber party.

Yea. Great idea. Maybe we can do that in Oregon and enjoy some brownies since I doubt there are also music videos to give us a visual to go along with those tracks.

I was hoping that there might also be a Weird Al Yankovich treatment, but then realized that The Plan is probably an intended parody anyway.

One man's travesty is another man's Plan.

One was obviously written by someone seriously under the influence of mind altering intoxicants....


....the other was written by Pink Floyd.

Hey I'm game and also probably gamey. Oh, and I too, knew nothing of this album until today. I'll even listen to it tonight. I have respect for Weird Al I think he is a talent. I think genuine well done parody is more difficult than just a plain song.

God, that was awful. I think Mormon creativity died with Joseph Smith, Jr.

There seems to be an inverse relationship between LDS art of any kind and quality.

I have this album and I'm non-LDS. I think you have to be an avid Osmond fan to know of this album.

I got it as a gift from my LDS friend around 1976, who was and still is an Osmond fan.
