40 Years Of Sgt. Pepper 2007-06-04 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 13 Comments | If you've happened to have a television on at any point in the past couple of days, you've probably heard some bright-eyed reporter-or-other extoll the phrase "in fact, it was forty years ago today" as if it were original or witty.
I am, of course, talking about The Beatles' landmark pop album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band which, along with Pet Sounds and a couple more Beatles albums, essentially established the long-playing album as the dominant form by which music is made and sold.
A decade into the Napster-era, that legacy may be fading, but the record still regularly tops critical polls worldwide, most notably Rolling Stone's 2003 list The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
On June 2, BBC Radio 2 broadcast an all-star tribute to Sgt. Pepper, with the album's original engineer Geoff Emerick recording the likes of Oasis, The Killers, Razorlight and the Magic Numbers re-interpreting the album's thirteen tracks using the same equipment used by The Beatles.

Am I the only one who does not like The Beatles?

I'm with you. But I enjoyed Sgt. Pepper a bit.
| | |
Probably my favorite band right now.
I've heard nothing about this on TV though.
| | |
this is not nearly as exciting as last year's 39th anniversary
| | |
Haven't seen anything about this on the Beeb or anywhere else for that matter.
MAgic Number could be...interesting.

Am I the only one who does not like The Beatles? Guess we have another similarity besides that we're both dutch.
The Beatles is just: MEH!

THE BEATLES SUCKED BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T METAL
| | |
The Beatles are okay but their importance is so over-weighed. "They're Only In It For the Money".
| | |
I love this album. She's Leaving Home is an incredible song.
| | |
Great band and very, very important for the buissness(?).
I prefer other albums over Sgt.pepper but anyway...
