The eighth studio album by [[The Beatles]], released in 1967. It is a loose [[Concept Album]], that sees The Beatles [[Alternate Reality Episode|performing as the fictitious band of the album's title]]. It became one of the most acclaimed albums of the band, being often at the top spot in "Best Albums Of All Time" lists, and sold over 32 million copies worldwide. It became a benchmark for [[Concept Album|Concept Albums]], [[Psychedelic Rock]], and an influence in [[Progressive Rock]].
 
Also the inspiration for many [[Sgt. Pepper's Shout Out]]s.

* [[Album Filler]]:
Line 29:
* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: The name Sgt. Pepper came from salt and pepper recipients.
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: "Getting Better", and the opening of "Good Morning, Good Morning"
* [[Magnum Opus Dissonance]]: This is frequently regarded as [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]' greatest album, but the Beatles themselves were divided over it. Although not disliking it, [[George Harrison]] and [[John Lennon]] would later admit they didn't see what all the fuss was about. Lennon himself preferred ''[[The White Album]]''.
* [[Match Cut]]: The cock cowing in "Good Morning, Good Morning" to the guitar of "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise".
* [[Non-Appearing Title]]: "A Day in the Life". The whole phrase "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" too.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Ripped from the Headlines]]: "She's Leaving Home" was based on a story John read in the paper about a girl who ran away from her home. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" was based on a ''really old headline''...specifically, a poster for one Pablo Fanque's fair that John saw in an antique shop. His verses in "A Day In The Life" are similarly based on various newspaper articles.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The cover, which got plenty of shout outs later. See [[Sgt. Pepper's Shout Out]].
** At least one the [[Name's the Same]] reference was made between this album and ''[[Police Woman]]'' 's lead character Police Sgt. Pepper Anderson.
* [[Subliminal Seduction]]: The inner groove. Specifically, when it's played backwards it sounds remarkably like, "I'll fuck you like a superman!" In ''Many Years from Now'' [[Paul McCartney]] insists that this was accidental. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaXnqw-Zv0Y Listen here.]
* [[Throw It In]]: Almost literally invoked in "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" considering the song's strange sounding bridge was created by taking a tape recording of some music, cutting it up into small strips, throwing them up in the air and splicing them back together at random.
* [[Title-Only Chorus]]: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds",
* [[Triumphant Reprise]]: "Sgt. Pepper's (Reprise)"
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
* [[Uncommon Time]]: "Good Morning Good Morning"
* [[Wanderlust Song]]: "She's Leaving Home"
* [[What Could Have Been]]: "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" were recorded during the sessions for this album with the intention of them being part of it, but they ended up being released as non-album singles instead. Additionally, there was supposed to be a television special based on the album, but it was scrapped before completion. There was, however, a [[Music Video|promotional video]] produced for "A Day in the Life" (as well as the aforementioned singles).
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: Despite popular perception "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" is not actually code for "LSD"; it was about a drawing John's son Julian drew of his classmate Lucy ([[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|whom he drew in the sky. With diamonds]]). Additionally, "Fixing A Hole" isn't about heroin. It ''is'' quite likely, however, that these were made on drugs.
* [[World of Chaos]]: "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" even provides the quote for that page.
