The Beatles' SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND is a finely painted multi-colored musical canvas that came out in the summer of 1967.  The record further enhanced The Beatles sound and presence within rock and roll, and for the most part, musical history.  Pause for a moment and imagine listening to this album for the first time within the context of the time in which it was created.  There is no doubt that this was yet another leap that the band took forward to craft and reinvent their musical skills.  This is the Beatles and not the Wrecking Crew.
