The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is released. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is an album by the British band The Beatles. It is often called the most influential rock album of all time by prominent critics and publications, including Rolling Stone. It was recorded by The Beatles over a 129-day period beginning on December 6, 1966. The album was released on June 1, 1967 in the United Kingdom and on June 2, 1967 in the United States.

Sgt. Pepper's is one of the earliest and most successful "concept albums" ever. Before this, albums were just an assembly of different pop songs thrown together, hopefully containing at least one hit. The artistic effect was felt immediately and influenced everything that came after it; from "Tommy" by the Who, to almost every Pink Floyd album. The title song, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", opens and closes the album creating a sort of bookends. The production by George Martin included unusual sound effects during the transitions between songs.
