In honor of the album’s 57th anniversary (June 1), here’s a little CS4 teaser.
It is not a coincidence that Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), released precisely 20 years after Master Therion bought the farm (d. 1947, pictured on the upper left-hand side of the album), opens with the lyric, “♫ It was 20 years ago today ♫” when Sergeant Pepper–a stand-in for Crowley–“♫ taught the band to play ♫,” implying his postmortem influence on rock ‘n’ roll, coming into its own in the late 1940s.
