ARGUABLY THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM OF POPULAR MUSIC EVER AND RECENTLY VOTED THE BEST UK ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!! "SGT PEPPERS" WAS RELEASED TO AN EAGERLY AWAITING PUBLIC ON 01/06/1967 AND SOLD 250,000 COPIES IN ITS FIRST WEEK ALONE, IT ENTERED THE U.K ALBUM CHARTS AT NO1 WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 27 WEEKS!!!!

THE THEME OF THE ALBUM CONCERNED A MYTHICAL BAND WHICH LED TO IT BEEN CALLED THE FIRST "CONCEPT"ALBUM. THE MUSIC WAS SO INTRICATE, COMPLEX AND INNOVATIVE THAT IT STAGGERED OTHER ARTISTS WHO HAD BEEN SEEKING TO OUTDO THE BEATLES AT THAT TIME. EVEN MORE REMARKABLE IS THE FACT THAT THIS "MASTERPIECE" WAS RECORDED ENTIRELY ON A FOUR TRACK MACHINE. THE IDEA OF THE ALBUM WAS TO ACHEIVE A CONTINOUS FLOW OF MUSIC FROM ONE TRACK TO THE NEXT HENCE THERE IS NO MORE THAN A SECOND GAP BETWEEN EACH TRACK.

NOT ONLY DID THE LYRICS AND MUSIC ACHEIVE UNPRECEDENTED CRITICAL ACLAIM BUT SO TOO DID THE ALBUM COVER... DESIGNED BY PETER BLAKE THE ALBUM COVER IS NOW THE MOST FAMOUS COVER IN THE WORLD AND THE MOST IMITATED. THE IDEA OF SHOWING A HOST OF CELEBRITIES BOTH LIVING AND DEAD ON THE FRONT COVER WAS ORIGINALLY A SUGGESTION FROM PAUL. "SGT PEPPERS" WAS THE FIRST ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN A GATEFOLD SLEEVE AND ALSO THE FIRST TO HAVE THE LYRICS PRINTED ON THE SLEEVE (THS WAS UNHEARD OF AT THE TIME AND CAUSED MANY PUBLISHING DIFFICULTIES) IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TO INCLUDE A COLOURED INNER, UP TILL THEN INNERS WHERE EITHER BORING PLAIN WHITE OR BLACK.

THE ALBUM RECEIVED FOUR GRAMMY AWARDS IN ITS FIRST YEAR OF RELEASE AND STILL SELLS WELL TODAY IN CD FORM.
