Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by The Beatles, released in 1967 through Parlophone Records in the UK and Capitol Records in the US. It is a loose Concept Album, that sees The Beatles performing as the fictitious band of the album's title.Initially inspired by Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys and the work of Frank Zappa, with bassist Paul McCartney even dubbing the album the Beatles' equivalent of Zappa's Freak Out (incidentally, it and Pet Sounds were both released in 1966), Sgt. Pepper in turn inspired many parodies and shout-outs over the years (Zappa would repay the initial homage with his Sgt. Pepper parody We're Only in It for the Money), as well as a 1978 cinematic flop starring The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton.Its release is viewed as a watershed moment in rock history, marking the point where the genre finally reached maturity and was taken seriously by the musical establishment. It's also considered the first album to be presented as an artistic whole, rather than just a collection of tunes. Its release also marked the symbolic kickoff of 1967's "Summer of Love", when the various strands of the counterculture (anti-war protests, anti-materialism, spiritualism, psychedelic drugs) united into a powerful (if short-lived) movement, with this album as one of its main flagships. Oh, it made huge piles of money too (spending 27 weeks — more than half a year — atop the UK album chart, and 15 weeks at #1 in the US). This was also the first Beatles album to have the same track listing for the British and American releases.Since mono record players were much more common than stereo in the mid-60s, the Beatles and producer George Martin paid much more attention to the mono mix of the album, with the result that the stereo mix was a bit skimpy, with lots of Gratuitous Panningnote Though, contrary to the legend that the stereo mix was only done over the course of a couple days by EMI interns, a few stereo mixes for individual songs were actually made while the album was being recorded, with some Beatle input, while Martin oversaw the final mix. This was rectified in 2017 with the release of a brand new mix from the original four-track tapes supervised by Giles Martin, George's son (George himself had passed away the year before). This used sophisticated software to isolate each instrument on tapes where they'd all been bounced down onto a single track and achieve modern-sounding stereo separation. It was also issued in a deluxe edition which included previously unreleased outtakes, bonus tracks, the 2009 mono remaster, and DVD bonus content as well as replicas of the original 1967 LP's Feelies.A splendid time is guaranteed for all. |

comment |
Subliminal Seduction: This album, more than any other, has been the source of countless Urban Legend stories about hidden messages that appear in the album artwork, the lyrics and/or the music. For instance, take the inner groove. Specifically, when it's played backwards it sounds remarkably like "I'll fuck you like Superman!" In Many Years from Now Paul McCartney insists that this was accidental. Listen here. The most famous theory is the idea that clues to Paul's supposed death in a car accident are hidden in the album artwork and the music. |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: All the celebrities on the album cover are photographic cardboard cut-outs or wax statues borrowed from Madame Tussauds. EMI took the precaution of asking every living celebrity on the cover for permission to use their image. Only one person complained and asked a fee, actor Leo Gorcey, who was then airbrushed out of the cover. Shirley Temple wanted to hear the album first and Mae West wondered "What would I be doing in a Lonely Hearts Club?", but both eventually agreed to be included. |

Ripped from the Headlines |
| | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music) / int_1616e13 |
comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: "She's Leaving Home" was based on a story Paul read in the paper about a girl who ran away from her home. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" was based on a really old headline...specifically, a poster for one Pablo Fanque's fair that John saw in an antique shop. His verses in "A Day in the Life" are similarly based on various newspaper articles. More specifically, the first verse is about the death of London socialite Tara Browne in a drug-fuelled car crash note at least for Lennon, who was friends with Browne; in the Wikipedia article, McCartney claims to have been thinking of a generic politician when he and Lennon co-wrote that verse. The second verse is an allusion to the movie How I Won The War (in which Lennon himself appears). The final verse is referencing a story about potholes in the roads of Blackburn, Lancashire. The name "Sgt. Pepper" came from salt and pepper recipients. "Good Morning Good Morning" was inspired by a Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial. |

Concept Album |
| | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music) / int_34f6774c |
comment |
Concept Album: Besides the title tracks, it attempts to be like a concert. The concept was that The Beatles were pretending to be another band and doing the kind of songs that that band would do instead of just making an album as themselves. Although there is intense debate over whether it actually is a concept album proper, since apart from the two title songs and "With a Little Help from My Friends" the concept of 'the fictional band's concert' doesn't really develop much further; Lennon himself said that he wasn't working to this idea and that his songs, at least, could have easily gone on any other album, but that "it works because we said it worked." There was some speculation, given the Liverpool-influenced "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" (both of which were intended for the album) that the original concept was meant to be about Liverpool and childhood nostalgia, but this was denied by the band. |

| | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music) / int_352151a3 |
comment |
Recursive Reality: The concept of the album and the cover combine to present an example. The (rough) conceit of the album is that it was recorded by the Beatles pretending to be a completely different band and imagining the kind of concert/album that other bands would perform. To reflect this, "Sgt Pepper's..." appears on the band's drum as is common for a performing band (and was famously done by the Beatles themselves), while "Beatles" appears as a large floral arrangement in front of the band as if it was the title. So are we listening to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles, or are we actually listening to Beatles by Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band? |

comment |
Uncommon Time: "Good Morning, Good Morning" both plays it straight and subverts it. John syncopates some parts of the song in a weird way, but the patterns eventually add up to multiples of four. However, other parts are constructed out of patterns of 44 and 42, respectively (the song is constructed in a rhythmic ABCBCBA pattern, with the B part of the song having 5+5+5+3+4+5+4+3+3+4+4/4 for 44/4, while the C has 5+5+5+3+4+4+4+4+4+4 for 42/4). That said, significant parts of the song are still in straight 4/4. "Within You Without You" plays it quite straight, being based on Indian talas in cycles of 10 and 16 beats. The up-tempo middle section works out to be in about 5/4, usually. |

Boring, but Practical: The line about "4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire" was inspired by a newspaper article. Lennon was really flabbergasted that someone would spend his time on counting the number of potholes he could find in a city's roads. The boring activity did inspire one of the best songs on the album, though. |

Captain Obvious: "Well I don't want to stop the show / But we thought you'd all like to know / That the singer's going to sing a song." (The show in question is a concert. That's right. He interrupted a concert to let everyone know that the singer would be singing. Even if it was done for a rhyme - "And he wants you all to sing along" and the supposed lead singer of Sgt. Pepper's band was playing drums up to that point, it's a pretty obvious line). |

Incredibly Long Note: The end of "A Day in the Life" has all four of the Beatles striking a final E major chord on a piano that lasts 45 seconds. During recording, as the piano faded Lennon turned the gain up so that it remained audible for longer. (If you listen closely to a high-quality recording, you can hear rustling papers and a chair being moved.) |

Throw It In! |
| | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music) / int_4d422f71 |
comment |
Throw It In!: Almost literally invoked in "Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite!", when after several attempts to devise a suitably circus-sounding bridge by adding tape loops of calliope music, a frustrated George Martin told engineer Geoff Emerick to cut them up into small strips, throw them up in the air and splice them back together at random. Some of the celebrities on the cover were only added because their names "sounded groovy". For instance, soccer player Albert Stubbins was thrown in because Paul remembered that his father used to talk about him when he was younger. As McCartney counts in the reprise of the title track, Lennon says "Bye!" "It can't get no worse" in "Getting Better" was ad-libbed by Lennon as McCartney was running through the song for George Martin, and everyone liked it so much that it stayed in. |

Brown Note: After "A Day in the Life", there is a high-frequency 15 kilohertz tone and some randomly spliced studio babble, with the tone being identical to a high-pitched dog whistle that only dogs and cats can hear, but normally inaudible to the human ears. Paul McCartney recalled: "Imagine there are people sitting around and they think the album's finished and then suddenly the dog starts barking and no one will know what the heck's happened." |

World Music: George Harrison plays the sitar during "Within You Without You", an instrument he was being taught by his friend Ravi Shankar. He played it earlier during "Norwegian Wood" on Rubber Soul from 1965 and "Love You To" from Revolver from 1966. A fourth example of World Music can be found on "The Inner Light" on Past Masters, but Harrison does not play the sitar on that song. |

Circus Episode: A musical version with "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", when John Lennon found an old 19th-century poster for Pablo Fanque's Circus Royal, with Mr. Kite at Bishopsgate jumping over men, horses, hoops and garters, through a flaming hoop, accompanied by the Hendersons and Henry the waltzing horse. The song incorporates four different kinds of musical organs, with calliope music spliced in after John told George Martin that he wanted the song to have a carnival atmosphere, yearning to "smell the sawdust on the floor". |

Leave the Camera Running: The album ends with one of the first "hidden tracks", a collection of backward studio chatter. Although the CD version simply repeats the chatter a few times before fading out, the original LP placed the chatter in the record's run-out groove, meaning it could hypothetically repeat endlessly (at least, until either the stylus or the record wore itself out), or until the listener got up and manually turned the stereo off if their turntable didn't stop automatically at the end of each side. |

The Not-Remix: The album had a notoriously bad stereo mix, so it was given a brand new stereo mix in 2017 by using software to isolate each instrument and create a modern-sounding stereo composition. The result was very well received. |

| | Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Music) / int_bbd2a2c |
comment |
Alter-Ego Acting: Paul devised a concept of the Beatles recording the album as if they were the fictional Sgt. Pepper's band, in an attempt to get the Beatles to rethink how they were going to work in the studio, and to escape the expectations of Beatlemania and start anew. The façade was somewhat abandoned as the songs took shape — aside from the title song, its reprise, and "With a Little Help from My Friends" — but the album was still shaped by the idea of abandoning their pop-star personae and doing things in the studio that The Beatles wouldn't be expected to do. |

comment |
Fleeting Demographic Rule: Variation. Before this album, The Beatles had been putting out albums and touring almost unendingly, and they were feeling burnt out. So, from this album onward, they decided to stop touring and take their time working on the album instead of working as hectically as they had been. However, since that meant the album took much longer to be completed and the band wasn't making any official public appearances during the process, the perceived decreased productivity of the band in the public's eye led critics to declare that the band was officially dead. These people were proven to be very wrong. |

Shout-Out |

comment |
Shout-Out: The cover: The doll on the far right "salutes The Rolling Stones". The Stones returned the nod with a shout-out to The Beatles on Their Satanic Majesties Request. Lewis Carroll can be seen. Lennon was inspired to write "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "I Am The Walrus" and "Cry Baby Cry", all based on imagery from Alice in Wonderland. Marlon Brando is visible in his The Wild One outfit. The band credited this film for giving them their group name, as one of the gangs mentioned in the movie is called "The Beetles". Former bassist of The Beatles Stu Sutcliffe (who died at a young age) is also present. Bob Dylan can be seen on the far upper right. The image used is the same photograph used earlier on the album cover of Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited from 1965. The Beatles were very much inspired by Dylan to improve their song-writing from 1964 on, and there's the famous 1964 meeting between him and the band during which he kindled their fondness for marijuana. Here is a list of everybody on that cover. W. C. Fields is on there! The line "it's time for tea and Meet the Wife" in "Good Morning, Good Morning" refers to the British sitcom Meet the Wife from 1963 to 1966. |

comment |
In the Style of: It has many examples. The title track is partly in the style of Jimi Hendrix and partly in the style of British brass band music. "Within You Without You" is in the style of Hindustani classical music, or as close as they could get to that style without having a 15+-minute improvisation in the middle. "She's Leaving Home" is in the style of a 19th-century parlour song. "Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite" is in the style of a 19th/early 20th-century music hall song. "Good Morning Good Morning" is in the style of mutated R&B. The orchestral freakouts in "A Day in the Life" are very much in the style of late 60s avant-garde music, especially the improvising group AMM, one of whose concerts Paul had attended.note AMM's live album The Crypt, which was recorded in 1968 but not fully released until 1981, is a whole album of a terrifying wall of noise. |

Vocal Tag Team: The Beatles did this all the time but only rarely within the same song. "A Day In the Life" features John on four verses and Paul on one; the group found that Paul's unfinished composition matched up well with John's, fitting precisely into a "hole" in John's song where there was no verse. "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" features John singing the verses and Paul the chorus. |

Hidden Track: "Inner Groove" on British editions was made by having an endless loop of laughter and gibberish right at the end in the inner groove where the vinyl needle stops, designed to play forever until the needle was lifted, or the turntable was equipped with an automatic return. Some fans consider it a coda to the preceding song "A Day in the Life" and CD versions append it to the end of that song. |
