Binding: Audio CDBrand: Beatles EAN: 0077774644228 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 077774644228 Number Of Discs: 1 Publication Date: 1987 Publisher: Capitol Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Product Description: \N Amazon.com essential recording: Before Sgt. Pepper, 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 30-plus years, 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 was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Album - But Not Their BestThis 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. Rating: - 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. Rating:  - what if ??????????What if, Paul Mcartney would make one last "BEATLES" record ?? All he has to do is REMASTER this album.......BUT.....add the 2 missing songs to this same album , with a different line -up. The famous "PENNY LANE" and "STRAWBERRY FIELDS" would be added. It was the biggest screw-up in rock and roll to leave them off.........SO FIX IT !!! Make this new album a SPECIAL RELEASE, seriously. Eveybody knows this album should have had those songs any-way. There's plenty of room on CD's. Heck, you can even ... Read More Rating: - This sacred cow is actually goodI'm not much for worshipping sacred cows. I wouldn't call PET SOUNDS or DARK SIDE OF THE MOON masterpieces, even if "the experts" say that they are. And I don't really care if SGT PEPPER is the birth of modern pop music or important regarding the evolution of artrock. I just think that the songs on SGT PEPPER are really good. Good enough to get 5 stars. Rating:  - It was sixty-one years ago today...It's funny how history works. When it came out in 1967, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was a seismic event. It was an instant cultural touchstone, a musical icon, a psychotropic chunk of pop art product that glistened with possibility and newness. It was, famously, the album that signaled the rise of rock `n' roll as an artform rather than a teenage flavor-of-the-decade. It was bold, energetic, and state-of-the-art. It was conceptual- even the packaging and cover art were part of the journey. ... Read More |
