The Beatles Sgt Pepper Album Is 57 Today. Celebrate With A Pro-Ject Limited Edition Turntable

In case you didn’t know, The Beatles released their eighth studio album, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, on this day way back in 1967. At the time, the album was like nothing anyone had heard before.

The album spent 15 weeks at number one on the Billboard Top LPs chart. The combination of innovative songwriting, fabulous production and an iconic cover that marked a real step-change in the music world and was a springboard for so many of the great albums that followed in the 1970s.

Sgt Pepper was defining moment in the pop culture of the 1960s and was the overture for the Summer of Love that followed and all that came after. It seems only right that someone should celebrate the release of such an iconic album that’s now 54 years old!

Pro-Ject is an Austrian company that’s been making some great turntables for vinyl records since 1991. It decided that its latest model should celebrate Sgt Pepper with the launch of a limited edition commemorative turntables – the Essential III – Sgt. Pepper and the 2Xperience SB.

This special edition collaboration between Pro-Ject Audio Systems and The Beatles was inspired by Sgt Pepper, offering fans the opportunity to showcase the much-loved record in a unique, high-performance setting in the Essential III or 2Xperience SB turntables. Both models have been upgraded and updated to honor the legendary record.
