...seasoning. But of course, as long as Apple features its owner-producers as performers, it is in no danger of withering on the branch. Among its first LP releases this fall, for instance, will be the Beatles' first all-new, non-sound-track album since the epochal Sgt. Pepper...
LUMPY GRAVY: FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION (Verve). Long before the Beatles turned acid with Sgt. Pepper, the Mothers were setting a new rock trend with their first release, entitled Freak Out.

Unlike James Joyce, who refused to read Freud, or Dylan, who could not listen to Sgt. Pepper, novelist-essayist-poet and Joyce disciple Anthony Burgess has read everything.

...Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite is the disc jockey Murray the K. He is now broadcasting for CHUM radio, Toronto. A reliable source indicated to us that Murray the K, when asked if he was the "celebrated Mr. K" of Sgt. Pepper's, replied, "yes, but I can say no more." George Harrison is a possible Mr. H. Look at the large pictures on the inside of the album. The strange box hanging around George's neck seems to have a face on it. Another reliable source told us he had made a blow-up of this photograph...
