Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Before Sgt. Pepper's, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with 'A Little Help' from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 3-plus decades, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds', the carnival-like 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite') and McCartney's music hall-styled 'When I'm 64', to Harrison's Eastern-leaning 'Within You Without You', and the avant-garde mini-suite, 'A Day in the Life', Sgt. Pepper's was a milestone for both 1960s music and popular culture in general. --Billy Altman

- Height of their powers?First things first. Sgt Pepper is not a concept or themed album. 3 of the 13 songs are vaguely based on the theme of the Beatles "playing" at being an old time band (including a reprise of the title song) and some of the music is continuous between songs. The rest of the songs are unrelated so why is the album so often described as groundbreaking? Listen to it and you will find out. The band and producer George Martin produced a remarkable album that at times is unashamedly experimental.

- Sorry, I just don't get itI really want to like it. It's ingenious and marvellous and at the time I'm sure it was groundbreaking. But though I love Abbey Road, I can't say the same for this. I was genuinely disappointed.

- Beautiful, mad, silly, cheerful, philosophical, alarmingI don't know why I think that this is the best album by the best band that ever was. I may as well admit that the Beatles are my favourite band, but it's not like every single song here is a solid gold classic. "Revolver" has more really great songs than "Pepper", so why does "Revolver" just feel like a great album while "Pepper" feels like a great album that is also a major work of art?
It has something to do with the idea, something to do with the sequencing, something to do with ... Read More

- The BIG one....Of all the Beatles albums this one excites the most debate. It was probably the most eagerly awaited album ever - up that time. During 1966 the Beatles had gone from being on every TV show, concert tour, poster and News bulletin to being secretive, and reclusive and making no personal appearances - and everyone wanted to know what they were up to.
Then they issued the double A sided single, Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever and we got a taster of what this album was going to be like. Originally ... Read More

- overrated novelty albumwhen i was a boy,hitting my teens in the sixties,you were as the cliche goes.beatles or stones,and i was very much with the latter. from the beginning the beatles always had novelty songs,and maybe george martin is to blame,(he did produce the goons after all)i mean ;til there was you, taste of honey,michelle,penny lane.....etc,etc.even their best lp is spoilt by yellow submarine.but by the time they got to this one,well you could blame macartney or martin or maybe they just took the wrong acid.but it is,apart ...
