Great Album - But Not Their Best

This album is super sweet. I can listen to "Lovely Rita" over and over again. The only song that is kind of a bummer is "When I'm Sixty-Four". The only reason that I put what I did as my title is that many people think that this is the greatest record ever made, well I have news for them. The "White Album", "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", just to name a few. If you don't already own this, what are you waiting for, get it today.

Landmark

From its elaborate cover (the most expensive in LP history), to its printed inner-sleeve lyrics, to its (in the original LP issue, anyway) toy insignia cutouts, to its complete lack of 45-r.p.m. singles, "Sgt. Pepper", from the summer of 1967, was groundbreaking in many ways. The Beatles, already the most famous musical entity in the world, had retreated from touring the previous year and devoted themselves to the recording studio full-time. This was the result. The idea of an alter-ego to the group was originally Paul McCartney's; the other Beatles joined in the concept, creating a loose framework for a wide variety of material. Paul indulged his penchant for music hall ditties with "When I'm Sixty-Four"; John Lennon got both ethereal, with "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds", and earthy, in "Good Morning, Good Morning"; George Harrison's Indian absorption is reflected in "Within You Without You"; and Ringo, who always got at least one song to sing, sallies forth bravely as Billy Shears with a little help from his friends. It should be noted that "Pepper" was produced with the aid of hallucinogens, so the record, given its brilliance, can't really be used as an anti-drug argument. The rock album was born.

Classic

Giving away my age here,but I did have the vinyl LP many years ago. I reckon this was the Beatles defining album. This,in my opinion, was their pinnacle and it was all downhill(sadly) from here. Buy it, listen well and enjoy.

Had to have it!

The best from the BEST! When my Sgt. Pepper CD dissappeared I had to replace it! Although I still think listening to the original vinyl is the best way to savor this extraordinay album ... I NEED to be able to take my music with me. Amazon's price was fair and the shipping was fast.
Everyone should have a copy of this Beatles' classic.
