THE STORY OF SGT. PEPPER'S BY THE BEATLES | CLASSIC ALBUMS

It was mid-1966 when a Beatles tired of being who they were and annoyed by their scandals decided to leave and take a well-deserved vacation after years of intense activity, George Harrison traveled to India to perfect his skills with the sitar, Paul McCartney and George Martin made the soundtrack of the movie The Family Way, John Lennon went to Spain to shoot a film with Richard Lester, and Ringo would use this period to spend time with his wife and son.

While the beatles were away, the press speculated that the group was splitting up, and the group's record label began to worry that another group would take the place that the beatles were leaving when they disappeared. However, after their return, what was initially conceived as a concept album of the group's childhood and roots ended up becoming the most influential album of all time.

Wow. They released Rubber Soul in December of 65 and then Revolver in Aug of 66 and their record company thought they were losing popularity and might be replaced? It’s hard to imagine.

A music nerd friend had Sgt. Pepper on pre order and got it on release day. Him, me, and a small bunch of friends sat and listened to the whole album in silence. At the end we all sat open mouthed, knowing we'd just heard something massively important but not knowing what it was. Fact is, our world had just changed.

I'll be 73 years old in July and I have been a fan of the Beatles since late 1963. Younger people don't understand the HUGE impact Sgt. Pepper had in the music world and how things changed for most every music artist after that. It was like an EXPLOSION that got everyone's attention. For this reason alone it is the greatest album of all time.
The British REVOLVER album may have had the same effect in August 1966 but Captitol Records gave America a diluted Revolver.

Greatest album ever made. To think what it could have been with Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane.

I'm 70 and putting inaccuracies and mispronounciations aside this was a welcome trip down memory lane for the best album ever.

I never get tired of learning new stuff about the Beatles. It's does not get old. Love the excitement of most all of the comments everyone makes, young and old. When life gets so busy and hectic, I turn to the fascinating world of the Beatles. Never disappointed.

I was 13 when Sgt Pepper's was released and they were magical times. Walking home from choir practice with Sgt Pepper's on my transistor radio every night. pure magic. But now I'm 70 SEVENTY! and I cannot believe it but they still turn me on, I have a few more guitars and guilt washes over me every time I don't pick up one of them and play which is a difficult feeling.

A Day In The Life...
One of the greatest songs ever composed and produced in Rock era.
The grand finale at the end after what seems like an endless climb leaves you completely exhausted and breathless.
When I first heard it, I was utterly shocked in awe.

This album was so powerful in my life I'm not sure how to put it into words. I was 8 years old when SGT Peppers came out. I was beaten into the ground physically, mentally and emotionally. This album was my escape into a whimsical, magical world filled with peace, love and hope. It got me through that dark time in my life... How could I ever thank you enough Beatles... God Bless you all.

Most of this masterpiece was Paul’s doing. Bloody genius.❤️

[johangaudissabois]

Pepper, Rubber Soul, Revolver, The White Album and Abbey Road are all among the greatest albums ever made. That PENNY Lane and STRAWBERRY FIELDS were not included was a great mistake indeed. On the other hand, it turned even MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (which includes both) into a classic and one of my all time favourites together with the already mentioned LP's..

[kevalraam]

In my mind undoubtedly the greatest album of all times. I remember when it came out (I was 13 years old) how deeply it effected me. Listening to Within You and Without You, for example, was my first exposure to Eastern spirituality, and set in motion a lifelong quest for inner peace and enlightenment that continues to this day. Bravo to the Beatles for this magnificent contribution to art and humanity.

I was 16 in 1967, drove from Cleveland to San Francisco, smoked pot and ingested LSD for the first time and listened to Sgt. Pepper's all summer long. This album had an overwhelming effect on the direction my life would take. YTM tells me I am in the top 1/10th of 1% of Beatles listeners. I truly believe people will still be listening to Sgt. Pepper's in 1, 000 years.

Created in 1967 when very few bands were working outside the domain of the three minute song. It lighted the way forward towards experimentation. Also, for me, it had a visual quality not experienced before. It was three years ahead of its time. The greatest album ever recordedm

I wasn't born at the time. But I grew up in a house full of music in the 70's. This album hold a very special place in me heart. On days when it was raining. My mother would put this record on for me, and It would wash away the rainy day blues. As a child I did not yet understand just how much this album really meant.

[daytwo]

The Beatles were so influential in my life growing up. I was 8 in 1963. They may have saved my life. Certainly, they helped to shape it. I am very grateful for the Beatles. They were what no other band ever could hope to be -- unmatched in their contribution. They helped to shape the world.

[DaveGava]

Agree A day in the life was the Beatles masterpiece and changed popular music forever. It was years ahead of anything in 67 18:24

[johnnymoondogs]

Sgt pepper is the greatest album ever made this album won a Grammy in 1968 there is no more influential and important than Sgt pepper.

I loved the Beatles as a kid and I love them today.
