Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (soundtrack)
''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' is a multi-platinum double album produced by George Martin, featuring covers of songs by The Beatles. It was released in July 1978, as the soundtrack to the film ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'', which starred the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and Steve Martin.
The project was managed by The Robert Stigwood Organisation (RSO). In 1975, the original plans for the album were suspended due to a dispute between Columbia and RSO. RSO invested $12 million into this soundtrack and the profit offset set against costs such as $1 million for promotion. The creation of the soundtrack was marked with tension from the beginning, with Frampton and the Bee Gees both feeling wary of the other artist as well as being unsure as to how their music would work together on the same album.〔
Regarded as one of the worst albums ever recorded, the release made history as being the first record to "return platinum", with over four million copies of it taken off of store shelves and shipped back to distributors. Hundreds of thousands of copies of the album ended up being intentionally destroyed by the RSO. The company itself experienced a considerable financial loss and the Bee Gees as a group had their musical reputation tarnished, though other involved bands such as Aerosmith were unscathed in terms of their popularity.
== Critical reception ==
In a contemporary review for ''The Village Voice'', music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "D+" and wrote that, apart from the Earth, Wind & Fire and Aerosmith songs, "most of the arrangements are lifted whole without benefit of vocal presence (maybe Maurice should try hormones) or rhythmic integrity ('Can't we get a little of that disco feel in there, George?')" In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave it one out of five stars and said that the terribly bad album suffers from a number of clumsy performances by the Bee Gees, Frankie Howard, and Peter Frampton, as well as performers who were not particularly well-suited for their song, including Steve Martin, George Burns, and Alice Cooper.〔(Allmusic review )〕
