Sergeant Pepper, Pet Sounds, Dark Side of the Moon – these great albums defined the rock music of their time. Other albums, such as Berlin, Synchronicity and Heroes, made slightly less impact on the world at large, but revolutionized the music industry. Others, like Eye In The Sky, sold in fantastic numbers around the world but passed the U.S. by. Using early mixes, session recordings, and interviews (including much unreleased and suppressed material), HCC music faculty member William Scanlan Murphy will examine exactly how this vital music was made and what it says to us today
