A question

[ericcoleman]

Every so often I hear someone refer to Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as a concept album ...

Can anyone tell me what that concept is? It sure sounds like a lot of unconnected songs, one of which is reprised at the end, to me.

It's not a concept album.

It is the first album ever produced as an album. That is, the title, the art, etc, were all conceived as a whole, and tracks were, if not written, at least included or rejected based on whether they fit the overall feel.

From another perspective, it is a soundtrack album for a film project that never got wide release.

Are you talking about the film that has a certain Stigwoodma to it ???
