The Beatles - 1967 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by The Beatles, released in June 1967. Recorded over a 129-day period beginning in December 1966, Sgt. Pepper sees the band exploring further the experimentation of their previous album, Revolver (1966). Making use of orchestras, hired musicians and innovative production techniques, the album incorporates elements of genres such as music hall, jazz, rock and roll, western classical and traditional Indian music. Its lyrics deal with several themes including childhood, aging, everyday routine and life in postwar Britain, the tone ranging from cheerful and ironic to transcendent and surreal. Sgt. Pepper is a loose concept album that sees The Beatles performing as the fictitious band of the album's title. The cover art, depicting the band posing in front of a collage of famous individuals, has itself been widely acclaimed and imitated. 01 - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band 02 - With A Little Help From My Friends 03 - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds 04 - Getting Better 05 - Fixing A Hole 06 - She's Leaving Home 07 - Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite 08 - Within You, Without You 09 - When I'm A Sixty Four 10 - Lovely Rita 11 - Good Morning, Good Morning 12 - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band (Reprise) 13 - A Day In The Life LINK The Beatles - 1967 - The Alternate Sgt.Peppers Recorded and Mixed at the Abbey Road Studios Nov 24th, 1966 to June 25th, 1967 Disc 1 01 - George Martin And Paul Mccartney About Sgt.
