Album: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, released 1967 There are plenty of songs within the Beatles catalogue (you could just stop there) that act as whimsical pieces of nostalgia, pointing to John Lennon and Paul McCartneys upbringing in Liverpool - In My Life, Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane, for example - but arguably one of the bands greatest tracks highlights Lancashire instead. A Day In The Life, the closing track to the bands psychedelic masterpiece Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, comprises two distinct sections - the first by Lennon on articles found in the Daily Mail, the second by McCartney as he remembers the daily routine of his youth.When Lennons section returns, he refers to a story concerning the town of Blackburn, which states that there are four thousand holes in the road, according to a council survey. If this is taken to be typical of the rest of the country, there are two million holes in Britains roads. What other council surveys can vouch as having its own unique place in musical history?
