The Beatles Through The Years: Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 50th Anniversary Reissue.
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 50th Anniversary Reissue.
It was 50 Years Ago Today: The Sgt. Pepper Reissue for the 50th Anniversary of the album.
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is considered by many to be the Beatles' greatest album of all time. Indeed, the greatest album of all time by any band.
Pepper was released at a time when the world had no idea what had happened to the Beatles. Other bands of the teenybopper years of 1963 - 66 had broken up and the press were keen to apply the same label to the Beatles. Indeed, since August 1966, very little had been seen of them save for a single release in February 1967 (Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane) which in their native UK, had been pipped to the number one spot in the charts by Englebert Humperdinck and 'Please Release Me'.
So, with the months going by, the Press decided to sound the death knell of the Beatles and began to ponder the future without them. Then, in June 1967 they were back and the press loved them. The album going down in history as the greatest they had ever made.
