45 years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught us all to play. June 1st, marks the 45th anniversary of the record album that reconfigured recording. June 1, 1967 the release of, The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It really turned out to be "A Day in the Life".

An album which set the benchmark for all future albums. Love it. Has it really been 45 years?

It was twenty years ago today...Sgt Pepper taught the band to play...

I remember it well.

roadrex, I remember as well, I was in the Defenders and my lead guitar player and I sat in his room in his parents house to listen to it entirely. Great album that was groundbreaking at the time. Embarrassingly I must admit that other albums that came around at that time I liked much more: Fresh Cream, Are You Experienced?, The Doors. Honorable mention goes to Absolutely Free, Surrealistic Pillow, Headquarters, Vanilla Fudge also released in 1967 and of course, Magical Mystery Tour which I liked a little more than Sgt. Peppers. 1968 was a banner year for rock and roll recordings too, boy do I feel old now

Sheeeesh 45 years, are you sure, heard a song the other day on the radio 10cc's Rubber Bullets that was 40 years ago made me think I can tell you, somethings gone wrong with the space and time continuum I'm more and more convinced

I remember going to the local record store in my town during lunch from school to buy it. It hadn't come in yet I was told...went back after school and still not there...went back before supper and all they had left was the MONO version. I bought it anyway. Couple days later I forked over the $4.00 + change for the STEREO version.

The MONO version is worth a lot more than $4.00 now ..as are all of the MONO pressings. Stereo ones too!

Nice work John,Paul,George and Ringo!

Back in '67, I bought the album for my younger brother's 10th birthday . . . and kept it for myself.

Way to go!
I think I paid just under $4.00 for my Sgt. Pepper's at Sid's in Plantation, FL.

Sgt. Pepper, I remember it well. I loaned the album to a girl from my high school that I'd been messing around with. A few days later, her boyfriend, who had been away in the Navy, knocked on my parents door and poured the broken pieces of the album out on the ground just before punching me in the face. Ah, the good old days.

I had a special pressing of Sgt. Pepper with the album cover printed on the LP.

Remember the page of cardboard cutouts that came inside the album? There were badges, a cardboard stand-up of the band, even a cardboard Sgt. Pepper's mustache. I resisted the temptation to cut them out. The page is pristine four and a half decades later.

Wish I would have kept all of the White Album extras. They are all gone.
