Original Beatles LP, UK 1967
Not only the music of Sgt. Pepper was said to be groundbreaking,
the sleeve artwork (by Peter Blake) is an inspiration for artists and artwork designers. Lots of magazins and artists where inspired by the central bassdrum with
visible name, with the on bottom figured name and with the picturing of known people behind and around the central and frontal Beatles in special cloths.
PUNK! In 1982 is the release of the punkmusic compilation doublr LP Burning Ambitions (A History Of Punk). The sleeve is a striking tribute to the Sgt. Pepper sleeve.
