On this day in history, June 1, 1967, the Fab Four — aka the Beatles — released their 8th studio album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," an artistic musical accomplishment still hailed today.
The album has sold over 32 million copies worldwide. It is one of the highest-selling albums of all time. "Sgt. Pepper" is often referred to as the first "concept album" — and often named as the inspiration for other great musical acts of the 1960s. The "Sgt. Pepper" album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1993. Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
On a return flight to London in Nov. 1966, Paul McCartney thought of the idea for this album, the same site indicated.
