Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band marked 50 years last June. It was a historic release and one of the greatest recordings of all time. Further, it was amazing that a group of pop idols went so far to embrace and celebrate the growing psychedelic counter-culture of that time. I don't need to hear outtakes but do love another listen along with Magical Mystery Tour and the original soundtrack of Yellow Submarine.
The Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties' Request (the best Stones album) was also an incredible psychedelic release. It was largely panned by critics (and Keith Richards) but deserves to be acknowledged as a masterpiece. In 1967, Timothy Leary declared Sgt. Pepper and Satanic Majesties to be the greatest albums of all time.
By far, the greatest release of the 60s time period was the first solo album by Jefferson Airplane's Paul Kantner: Blows Against The Empire. This was the first release that was under the name of Jefferson Starship. It actually featured members of Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver, Crosby & Nash and more. This release truly captured the essence of the time. Outtakes of this one are also useless, but the original recording is worth having.
