Not to mention a perfect example of how (IMO) triplets ought to be played. Often times, these are emphasized (accented) so heavily in some musics that they can lose the subtle effect of their intent. As an aside, I prefer this particular Fuller tune in A-flat major moreso than I do in G major, as the ethos is markedly different. I imagine the original key was G major (or maybe even A major?), but thank goodness for some playback equipment of yesteryear on various radio stations moving at different rates of speed.
BTW, I prefer Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in monophonic more than I do those stereophonic mixes that omit one or another of the components mentioned above. George Martin did as well, for similar reasons.
