The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967, Capitol)
Design: Jann Haworth and Peter Blake (Grammy Award for Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts)
Domāju, ka šis albuma vāks bija savā ziņā rekordists. Visdārgākais, visrevolucionārākais, vispompozākais, vis, vis, …
Albums nereti tiek dēvēts par visu laiku nozīmīgāko albumu rokmūzikas vēsturē. Te gan var pastrīdēties, vai “Dark Side of the Moon” ir mazāk nozīmīgs, vai arī, piemēram, “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols”. Galu galā, par to var palasīties paša galvenā mūzikas žurnāla (khm) RollingStone apkopotajā visu laiku 500 nozīmīgāko albumu sarakstā.
Par pašu The Beatles albumu var visnotaļ plaši izlasīt Wikipēdijā.
