Sgt. Pepper was recognised as the greatest popular music album as soon as it was released, a position that is has maintained continually ever since. This Beatles' masterpiece won a Grammy in the States and is the top selling British album of new songs. (UK:1 US:1)
"Sgt. Pepper is arguably The Beatles most recognized album. Released in 1967 at the peak of the 'hippy/flower power' movement, it combined art with music in a way that no album had previously done. From the way upbeat, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to the surreal, somewhat sombre, A Day In The Life, every song is a classic."
"First and foremost this album is one of the most perfect pop albums ever. The fact that their arrangements are unique, and that their recording techniques were groundbreaking at the time, shows that there was tremendous work done here. This album changed forever recorded music, because it represents total freedom for artists - there are no boundaries for this album."
"It is a masterpiece of melody and atmosphere. When I'm 64 is a touching and tuneful throwback that never fails to make me smile. The lyrics are eloquent and simple but often the best poetry is. She's Leaving Home is superbly constructed and will captivate you upon first listen. A Day In The Life is quite simply the greatest closer to an album I've ever heard. The rest is charming, catchy and uplifting."
"I could go on and on about how admirable is this record but really its success is in how a clutch of very different songs are sequenced to sound like a seamless whole."
