Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (album): Difference between revisions

* [[Captain Obvious]]: "That the singer's going to sing a song..."

* [[Concept Album]]: Besides the title tracks, it attempts to be like a concert. The concept was that [[The Beatles]] were pretending to be another band and doing the kind of songs that ''that'' band would do instead of just making an album as themselves. Although there is intense debate over whether it actually is a concept album proper, since apart from the two title songs and "With A Little Help From My Friends" the concept of 'the fictional band's concert' doesn't really develop much further; Lennon himself said that he wasn't working to this idea and that his songs, at least, could have easily gone on any other album.

* [[Epic Rocking]]: "A Day in the Life", which has parts by both John and Paul

* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: Both the title track and the reprise do this to the song that follows.

* [[Fleeting Demographic Rule]]: Variation. Before this album, [[The Beatles]] had putting out albums and touring almost unendingly, and they were feeling burned out. So, from this album onward, they decided to stop touring and take their time working on the album instead of working as hectically as they had been. However, since that meant the album took much longer to be completed and the band wasn't making any official public appearances during the process, the perceived decreased productivity of the band in the public's eye led critics to declare that the band was officially dead. [[Foregone Conclusion|These people were proven to be very wrong]].

* [[Genre Roulette]]: Music hall, jazz, rock and roll, classical music, Indian music...

* [[Last-Note Nightmare]]: "Within You Without You", "A Day in the Life", and [[Hidden Track|the "Inner Groove" chatter that follows it]] (particularly because [[Broken Record|it looped on the vinyl]]).

* [[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"

* [[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.

* [[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).

* [[World of Chaos]]: "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" even provides the quote for that page.
