It was fifty-two years ago today
Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play
They've never gone out of style
And still guaranteed to raise a smile ... .
The Beatles' landmark album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, was released in the United States 52 years ago this day, June 2, 1967.
Its cover has become acclaimed as the most iconic album cover ever, featuring cardboard cutouts of historical figures surrounding the Fab Four, who are the only live persons in the camera's view.
But not every cutout was used. At the last minute, the cutout of Jesus was set aside, out of frame view. And so was one other figure. And when he heard about it later, boy, was he mad!
Here is the album on YouTube.
