Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles
The band moved away from touring in 1967 to focus on the recording console. They used four-track machines to create dense, multi-layered sounds that were previously unattempted.
Lush arrangements and unconventional effects mark a shift in the rock format. The record offers an immersive, kaleidoscopic experience that turned simple pop songs into expansive pieces of art.
