It doesn’t seem possible to those of us who were there, but The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was issued on June 1, 1967. Widely considered to be the first “concept album,” it didn’t start out as one. The group only wanted to produce something “different,” and different it is.
The Mudd not only has the CD, but also a book about the album, from the Cambridge Music Handbooks series, no less. Also check out the mash-up on the new Love CD.
Dress up in your shiny band director’s uniform and pose beside a wax likeness of yourself to celebrate.
