From Amazon.co.uk
Before Sgt. Pepper's, 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 remains, after 3-plus decades, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64", to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You", and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life", Sgt. Pepper's was a milestone for both 1960s music and popular culture in general. --Billy Altman

La première fois qu'Éric a entendu Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, c'était sur un mini K7, pour sa communion... Micky, lui, était batteur dans le Vaucluse et, en rentrant, du Discobole, il a passé six heures d'affilée à essayer de rejouer l'intro de "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)". Ça n'avait l'air de rien, pourtant il n'y arrivait pas... Une fille l'avait prêté à Benoît; le disque sautait sans arrêt mais en rajoutant une pièce de cinq centimes sur le saphir ça passait... Mick et Keith l'ont écouté ensemble et ça leur a un peu mis les boules... Pascal, c'était dans un restaurant ; il n'écoutait que du punk et de la new wave mais, quand même, ça lui rappelait quelque chose. Il est allé l'acheter en sortant du restaurant... Adèle, c'était chez son fiancé, un matin de mai, ça sentait le lilas. Son amoureux pleurait chaque fois qu'il écoutait la voix de Lennon sur le début de "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"... Brian, l'a écouté dans son salon, assis dans le sable. Il a aussitôt appelé ses frères et son cousin pour enregistrer une version de "With A Little Help From My Friends"... Et vous ? --Hubert Deshouse

 Damn good music. April 21, 2010
Kyle Rogers (Ottawa, ON Canada)
It's funny when people say "this album isn't just music, it's art," because music is a form of art, and this album is some damn good music. I agree with it being the best album of all time in the sense that it became the stepping stone for psychedelic music or even rock/pop music in general. I won't waste people's time by stating why it is good, it just is.
The Landmark Album! March 11, 2010
Martin A Hogan (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules))
"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 somber, "A Day In The Life", every song is a classic. The sound is what makes this album amazing. George Martin and his son remastered and remixed several songs for the "Love" album. This same remarkable remastering has revitalized "Sgt. Pepper's" to an unbelievable clarity. Mixed with an array of sound effects, the remastering not only enhances the instruments and vocals, but brings all those art/music sound effects throughout the album to a vivid height. It's really remarkable how great this album sounds.
Also included in the great album is a multi-paged booklet with some excellent liner notes. There is also a diagram identifying all the famous people in the cover photo! On your computer, you can play the five-minute mini-documentary about the album (Quick-time), which showcases comments from all four Beatles and George Martin. All of this is mixed in with rare photos never seen before. Imagine learning that this album was recorded at night with over 400 hours devoted to it. That's perfectionism and its shows. In fact, there is a mini-documentary for all the Beatles albums. This CD is a collector's item and a perfect showcase for the Beatles genius.
 Great Gift January 17, 2010
Natalie L. Quiles (Miami, FL)
I gave this to my father in law for Christmas, he absolutely LOVED it! True Beatles fan, but can be appreciated by any music lover because it is a great album. The crate itself serves no purpose really. The t-shirt is great although it is a different size than what was mentioned at point of sale.

This release of the remastered SPLClub Hearts Band is a work of art. I already enjoyed the album ( it was part of my regular rotation ), but when I heard this new recording I was blown away. Everything from the vocals to the instrumentation sound like they could have been recorded in a present day modern studio. Hard to think the album was recorded to a four tape master using mix down techniques. The inclusion of a t-shirt and a storage box were a neat feature, my daughter grabbed them. But buy the CD. You can't go wrong if you are a Beatles fan and if not, the recording is an important part of history during a time of major evolution of modern music. One of the 10 all time recordings to own. Buy It You Won't Be Disappointed.
