“See, I never really liked Sgt Pepper. I mean, I think it's a fine album. All the work we do is fine. But I think I felt like a session man on it. We put so much on it-- strings and brass-- and you'd sit 'round the studio for days, you know, while they're overdubbing other things. It is a fine album, but just for me emotionally I prefer Abbey Road and alot of the White Album. And the early albums for different reasons."

— Ringo Starr, Inner-view, August 29th, 1977

#ok I 100% believe pepper is the beatles masterpiece and their best album #but it’s obviously the album paul was most insufferable on #along with mmt I bet #and the thing that always intrigues me here #is that so many people seem to say that paul’s bossiness and controlling attitudes caused the breakup #but by all accounts he was getting better #not necessarily out of the goodness of his heart but just by sheer force #cause I think pre 1969 he was kind of oblivious to the harm he was causing #but by all accounts abbey road was a GOOD studio environment #so yeah obviously paul’s overbearing tendencies in the studio caused problems #but the idea that THAT was the impetus for the breakup really makes no sense #ringo starr #paul mccartney #the beatles #beatles #my quotes
