I will NEVER get tired of watching documentaries about the greatest, influential rock and roll band of all time discussing how the concept of recording the most influential album in the history of music EVER made.I could listen and watch this all day.God bless JOHN LENNON, PAUL MCCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON, RINGO STARR and of course, the "fifth" beatle, GEORGE MARTIN.

When I got my first copy the LP cover opened up and it came with a cardboard mustache and badges.
I got a second copy so I could cut out the inner picture of them and hang it on my wall. I actually went to school with one of the badges pinned to my shirt, no one knew what it was. I was such a geek.

What I loved about SGT.PEPPERS is that the complete lyrics are in the album...I know them BY

As it is today, the media was always looking for a negative spin to put on the Beatles. Sgt. Pepper's left them scratching their collective heads. The album was released in June of 1967 before the Summer of Love. So many firsts were achieved. First album with printed lyrics was only one example. An entire generation was mesmerized by the content.

Im 65..I my house I grew up hearing the BEATLES...I have 1960s records of them...For me SGT. PEPPERS is #1 record in quality, sound, innovation, the way #2 is ABBEY from Costa Rica

It's a masterpiece. Some folks say it's overrated. Hogwash.

I'm 98 years old. I love the Beatles and I'm very clean.

13:26 mindblowing story. No, I am dead serious. I am convinced, that The Beatles are a gift from God to humanity after the dark war years I always thought that and said it. Why? Because it can't be a coincidence what happened with the Beatles. I mean 200 Hits in a row or something, the greatest band ever. and their perfect message that infected the entire planet: love and peace. too much for being a bloody coincidence.

I was born in 1969.
Upon “discovering” the album as an 8 year old adolescent, Sgt. Pepper’s became absolutely everything for me. ❤️‍🔥💖❤️‍🔥

My dad was 16 when this came out. For the next 20 years he insisted that this was the greatest album ever made. He played it all most every single day of my childhood. Sometimes he played Magical Mystery Tour but mostly Sgt Pepper.

I'm 65 and I bought Sgt, Pepper's when I was nine. To this day, I'll listen to it and it still sounds as fresh and interesting and profound as it did back then.

I love hearing how the Beatles tell their own stories of what happened when they were recording all their albums and their music in their lives it’s great stuff. sergeant Pepper is definitely one of the greatest albums ever one of all the Beatles albums I think every Beatles album is fantastic.

[lennon]

Favorite album was the very first my parents bought me in Brooklyn in Fortunoffs "Meet The Beatles" I was 11. I played it thousands of times. I never played any of their other albums that many times.

[thomashopper]

I got Revolver when I was 8 and Sgt Peppers when they was 11. I’m over 60 now and I have never tired of those two albums. They are my two favorite Beatles albums

[anubis]

I feel so blessed to have grown up as a teenager during the years when the Beatles were creating their music, eagerly waiting for each new album to be released.

[campbellarmstrong]

The most influential album of ALL TIME IMHO. I grew up with the Beatles (my teen years). Ringo has aklways been my hero, and the reason I learnt drums and played semi-proffessionally for 17 years.

[sallykohorst]

It was nice for a while. I loved that time the tour years wonderful thanks for this interview i love St. Pepper.

[BeTheLight]

Excellent! Thank you for this documentary that preserves the history behind this brilliant one-of-a-kind concept album by The Beatles. Brilliant how you can actually hear the concepts for the project and various stages of some songs take form. Thank you.
