Gear up for a massive 50th anniversary reissue of The Beatles’ masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band

2017 marks the 50th anniversary of this little record called Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, considered by most as one of The Beatles’ most ground-breaking albums — not to mention one of the best records of all time. To celebrate half a century of Lucy, Rita, and Mr. Kite, Apple Corps and Capital are reissuing a stereo mix of the record with unreleased studio takes of each and every song, 15 more in all.

In addition, the reissue comes with a 144-page book covering the history/process of the record — with introductions by Sir Paul McCartney and producer Giles Martin — and the unreleased 1992-made documentary The Making of Sgt. Pepper. For any diehard Fab Four fan, this is a must grab. The reissue is out on May 26th via Apple / Capitol / UMe.
