An alternative cover version for the old LP
"... RADIO STATIONS SCRAPPED THEIR PLANNED SCHEDULING AND BEGAN TO PLAY THE ALBUM IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED FROM START TO FINISH, INSTEAD."
PICS INFO: Resolution at 1980x1428 -- Mega spotlight on promotional poster designs for THE BEATLES' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," the band's commercially and critically-acclaimed eighth studio album, printed in Great Britain, c. 1967.
PIC #2: The same BEATLES "Sgt. Pepper" promo poster design, with different color grading and resolution -- at 799x579.
OVERVIEW: ""Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was the eight studio album by THE BEATLES and released on 1 June 1967 in the UK and the following day in the US. It raced to number one on both sides of the Atlantic, spending 27 weeks at number one in the UK and 15 weeks in the US. Radio stations scrapped their planned scheduling and began to play the album in full, uninterrupted from start to finish, instead. The Summer of Love had begun.
Langdon Winner of Rolling Stone, recalled:
"The closest Western Civilization has come to unity since the Congress of Vienna in 1815 was the week the "Sgt. Pepper" album was released. In every city in Europe and America the radio stations played [it] ... and everyone listened ... For a brief while the irreparable fragmented consciousness of the West was unified, at least in the minds of the young.""

Do you have any fun/weird/random facts about how your Beatlemania shows in your everyday life? I'm curious :) I'll start with: I've got two sourdough starters, one is called Sgt. Pepper and the other one Sexy Sadie. Sgt. Pepper's been a bit slow lately, but Sexy Sadie is as bubbly as I could hope.

Song of the day:
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles
(From the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band)
The Beatles released “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” on May 26, 1967.
John Lennon’s son Julian came up to him after a day in pre-school and showed him a picture that he’d drawn of his friend named Lucy who was flying with a backdrop of bright stars. Julian’s title for the drawing: “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds”.
Fun Fact!
When the first fossil of Australopithecus afarensis (an early hominid) was discovered in Africa, the team that found her celebrated by staying up all night listening to this song. They were inspired to call her Lucy.
"Picture yourself in a boat on a riverWith tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes"
