influential albums ever recorded, SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND had a
huge impact on the music world, signaling the beginning of a new era of
sophistication and maturity in rock. The musical experimentation was dynamic
and fresh, several tracks were edited to create seamless transitions, and even
the visual design was more elaborate than anything previously attempted.
Producer George Martin and The Beatles searched for new sounds and studio
effects. They added crowd sounds and animal cries from sound-effects
recordings, sped up Paul McCartney’s vocals in “When I’m Sixty-Four” (to make
him sound younger), and sustained a single piano chord for 40 seconds to end
“A Day In The Life.” The orchestrations, scored by Martin, were hailed by
critics as bridging the gap between pop and classical music, and many people
who had never bought a rock record bought SGT. PEPPER’S.
