ON JUNE 1,1967 THE BEATLES RELEASED "SGT. PEPPER". IN THE 40 YEARS SINCE IT'S RELEASE IT HAS
BECOME MUCH MORE THAN AN LP, OVER TIME IT HAS BECOME THE STANDARD BY WHICH MOST SERIOUS LP AND EVEN LP COVERS ARE JUDGED. CONCEIVED BY PAUL IT SET THE STANDARD AND MADE THE ROCK LP A WORK OF ART. WHAT IS EVEN MORE STRIKING IS THAT FROM THEIR FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE ON ED SULLIVAN ON 2/9/64 UNTIL "PEPPER" WAS RELEASED ON JUNE 1, 1967 WAS BARELY 3 YEARS. MUCH LESS IF YOU TAKE IN CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY STARTED TO WORK ON IT. IT SHOWS THAT AS MUSICIANS THEY WERE GROWING AT A VERY FAST PACE.

THE "SGT. PEPPER' RIAA WHITE MATTE IS STILL THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BEATLES RIAA AWARD. WHILE IT IS THE MOST WANTED,IT IS ALSO THE EASIEST TO OBTAIN. ALTHOUGH IT'S QUITE EXPENSIVE, FINDING ONE IS NOT AS HARD AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT BECAUSE SEVERAL NEVER MADE IT TO ENGLAND IN 1967 AND EVENTUALLY STARTED SHOWING UP IN PRIVATE HANDS.
