Pathetic acting and a scattershot plot sink this pitiful attempt by producer Robert Stigwood to turn the landmark Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" into an engaging film. ...more

He dominates the album in terms of compositions, setting the tone for the album with his unabashed melodicism and deviously clever arrangements. In comparison, Lennon's contributions seem fewer, and a couple of them are a little slight but his major ...more

Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita." There's no ...more

Renouncing live appearances, the group holed up in Abbey Road Studios in London and emerged with the masterpiece that defined 1967�s summer of love. Gaudy and daring, Pepper may not be a coherent �concept album,� but its complexity spelled the end of ...more

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, released in 1967, was right dead in the middle of what critics call the most ingenious period of The Beatles' creativity. This album proves that point, as what they had released as a step in a "new direction" has now ...more

Precio Gasolina

Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which ...more

By late 1966, The Beatles had given up their touring days and wanted to be more creative in the studio. Paul McCartney came up with a completely original idea: for their new album, the Beatles would pretend to be a band called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely ...more
