This is an error copy of The Beatles’ classic 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. As seen above, the second side of this LP has “Hawaii Calls: More of the Greatest Hits”. While this may have been a disappointing find for a Beatles fan eagerly awaiting this album’s release nearly 60 years ago, it is a highly rare and unique collectible today.
Considered the first ever concept album, “Sgt. Pepper and the Lonely Heart Club” bridged the divide between popular culture and high art, heralding the “Summer of Love”. It was a massive commercial success, spending 27 weeks atop the UK’s Record Retailer charts and 15 weeks atop the United States’ Billboard charts. It won four Grammy Awards, and was the first rock album to win “Album of the Year”. Very Good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
