Document Summary
Cover tells the listener what to expect: for sgt. Pepper listeners are invited to experience the album as fictional, playful, and to hear the music w/o old expectations: the beatles are pretending to be other people, another band. Peter blake: leading british artist in pop art, photographer, did the sgt. Back cover of album had all the lyrics in in columns: first time a pop album ever did this, made the listener more engaged, they would listen to the album and read the lyrics. Pepper"s lonely hearts club band : beginning w/ warm up for symphony concert, rather confusing leaves the listener unsure of what is going to happen, then hard rock" guitar intro. A day in the life : disconnect in first verse b/w what was said and what john experienced, count holes , cant count holes another paradox in the song, id love to turn you on , more sexual references.
