I love that album. I probably got it in June of 1967 also. I remember having a disagreement with someone who didn't like the complexity. I was the right age to "grow up" in step with the evolving Beatles music, and cannot imagine surviving adolescence without them (I know I would have, but it would have been so much worse). Growing up where I did and when I did was like growing up in a strait jacket. No matter how angry and depressed I was, they made me feel happy, joyful, energized. The Beatles were not just a breath of fresh air; they were an inspiration to "think different", to grow, to escape.
