THE BEATLES:
SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND. (1967)
Released on the 1st of June 1967, Sgt.
Peppers album fell like a bomb in the music scene of the 60's. From that point and on, Rock music would
never be the same.
I have the feeling that my knowledge
in music is not enough for me to speak for this album or write any kind of
critic about it. After all, what is left to be said? So I will just write here some info instead.
Here we go:
Here we go:
The recordings lasted almost 4
months with George Martin as a producer.
Upon its release it stayed for 27
weeks at No.1 in the U.K album chart, and 15 weeks again at No.1 in the U.S.A
Billboard top 200. In 1968 it was rewarded with 4 Grammy awards, and since
then it is usually at No.1 in almost every list concerning the greatest Rock
albums. As for its sales, there is an
estimation of almost 32.000.000 albums being sold up to 2011.
Upon its release, it received some very positive reviews from the
press, such as the one written in The Times by Kenneth Tynan, describing the album as "a decisive moment in the history of Western civilization".
‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ include some of the most famous songs in the
Beatles catalogue, such as the self- titled song,
or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and A Day in the Life among
others. It is (musically speaking) a very important album, which must have a
place in every music collection.
Other Beatles albums I recommend: The White Album, Let it be,
Revolver.
