サージェント・ペパーズ・ロンリー・ハーツ・クラブ・バンド

Amazonのエディトリアルレビューより

Amazon.co.jp

   ライヴ活動を停止した彼らが、今までにないほどの時間と労力を費やして作りあげた傑作アルバムである。
   <1>からブランクなしに<2>に入っていったり、<12>に<1>のリプリーズが入っている構成などから、ロック史上初のコンセプトアルバムともいわれている。サウンドの多様さも従前のアルバムとはけた違いで、オーケストラやブラスバンド、インド楽器なども駆使した音絵巻に圧倒される。いわゆる「オトナ」の鑑賞にも堪える作品として、ロックの社会的地位を向上させたアルバムでもある。（星野吉男）

Product Description

The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.

Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman
