Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band compie 40 anni. L&#8217;album venne messo in vendita in Gran Bretagna il 1 giugno 1967 e in America il giorno seguente, dopo un periodo di registrazione durato ben 129 giorni nello studio 2 della Emi equipaggiato con 2 Studer a 4 piste, equipaggiamento notevole per quei tempi, ma che appare assolutamente ridicolo oggi.<br \/>\nOltre a una incredibile quantit\u00e0 di innovazioni artistiche e stilistiche, con questo album i Beatles (ma anche George Martin, produttore e Geoff Emerick, sound engineer) portarono molte novit\u00e0 tecniche. Dall&#8217;uso di wah-wah e fuzzbox, nuovo per i Beatles ma non in assoluto, a voci e strumenti passati attraverso al leslie, fino al direct input del basso. collegato direttamente al mixer invece che a un amplificatore con relativo microfono e all&#8217;utilizzazione del Dolby in registrazione per ridurre il rumore di fondo generato dal bouncing (il pre-mixer delle 4 piste di un registratore su una dell&#8217;altro per aumentare in numero delle sovraincisioni).<br \/>\nAltri effetti usati per la prima volta in questo album sono l&#8217;automatic double tracking (ADT), un sistema inventato nel 1965 dal tecnico Emi Ken Townshend, che produce automaticamente uno sdoppiamento (doubling) del suono con alcuni millisecondi di ritardo e il varispeed che consiste nel registrare varie piste a velocit\u00e0 leggermente diverse (si sente bene sul backing voice di Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds).<br \/>\nInfine, l&#8217;album originale (ovvero, non in edizione americana) finisce con alcuni secondi di un tono a 15 kilohertz, suggerito da Lennon e secondo le sue parole, &#8220;especially intended to annoy your dog&#8221;, che portava la gente a chiedersi perch\u00e9 al termine del disco il cane abbaiasse sempre, seguito da un loop senza fine di voci, risate e vari rumori che venne spesso interpretato come un messaggio segreto. In realt\u00e0, anche ad una attenta analisi, l&#8217;unica frase che si distingue \u00e8 quella di una voce accelerata che dice &#8220;never could see any other way&#8221;.<br \/>\nIl collage in copertina venne ideato dall&#8217;art director Robert Fraser, un artista inglese di una certa rilevanza negli anni &#8217;60, e progettato dall&#8217;artista pop Sir Peter Thomas Blake (per sole 200 sterline). Dalla lista originale di 65 personaggi (+ 2 * 4 Beatles), vennero poi epurati: Cristo (la dichiarazione di Lennon sulla popolarit\u00e0 dei Beatles superiore a quella di Cristo aveva gi\u00e0 prodotto abbastanza guai), Gandhi, per non avere noie con il mercato indiano e il comico Leo Gorcey che aveva chiesto \u00a3 500 per l&#8217;uso della sua immagine. Anche Adolf Hitler era presente in alcune immagini, ma venne coperto nella foto finale, spostandolo dietro le immagini dei Beatles.
