RELEASED ON 1st JUNE, 1967, “SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND”, THE BAND’S
EIGHTH LP BECAME THE SOUNDTRACK TO THE “SUMMER OF LOVE” BUT ITS APPEAL
IS TIMELESS. WORK HAD BEGUN ON THE RECORDING IN LATE 1966 AND AT ONE STAGE
IT WAS THOUGHT THAT. BOTH “PENNY LANE ” AND “STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER”
WOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED BUT WHEN THESE WERE RELEASED AS A SINGLE IN FEBRUARY,
THAT IDEA WAS ABANDONED. “REVOLVER ” HAD ONLY JUST BEEN COMPLETED IN TIME
PRIOR TO THE BAND FLYING OFF ON YET ANOTHER TOUR. NOW THAT TOURING WAS
BEHIND THEM MORE TIME COULD BE SPENT WRITING AND RECORDING . . . BETWEEN
NOVEMBER 1966 AND APRIL, 1967, THEY SPENT OVER 400 HOUR S IN THE STUDIO - A FAR
CRY FROM THE “PLEASE PLEASE ME ” DAYS. OF COURSE THE MUSIC WAS MORE COMPLEX
AND NOW THAT TOURING WAS OVER, THERE WAS NO NEED TO CONSIDER WHAT COULD BE
REPRODUCED IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE. IN THE STUDIO “THE BEATLES” ENCOURAGED
ENCOURAGED GEORGE MARTIN TO ACHIEVE 'THE IMPOSSIBLE' AND IN TURN, GEORGE AND
THE ENGINEERS WOULD FIND INNOVATIVE WAYS OF REALISING THIS DESPITE STILL USING
ONLY FOUR-TRACK EQUIPMENT. FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN THE U.K., NO SINGLE WAS
LIFTED FROM THE ALBUM AND THIS ALSO HELD TRUE IN THE U.S. THE ALBUM WAS ALSO
NOT BANDED, ENCOURAGING THE LISTENER TO PLAY IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, PAUSING
ONLY TO TURN THE DISC OVER...THE GLOSSY DOUBLE WALLET FEATURED THE GUYS IN
THEIR PEPPER UNIFORMS SURROUNDED BY IMAGES OF PEOPLE THEY EITHER ADMIRED
OR WERE INTERESTED IN WHILST ON THE BACK OF SLEEVE THERE WERE THE LYRICS TO
ALL THE SONGS. INSIDE EACH SIDE OF THE WALLET WERE OTHER SURPRISES, A CARD
FEATURING VARIOUS CUT-OUTS AND IN THE INITIAL PRESSINGS AT LEAST, THE PAPER
INNER SLEEVE BORE A PSYCHEDELIC DESIGN - HERE OFFERED IS A 1967 STEREO 1st
PRESSING WITH THE EARLIEST MATRIX NUMBERS : XEX 637-1 / XEX 638-1, THE FOLDOUT
COVER IS IN SOLID SHAPE AS THE CUT-OUTS INSERT AS WELL ... THE VINYL RECORD IS IN
CRISP CONDITION AND PERHAPS JUST PLAYED ONCE WITH CLEAN LABELS
