In todays episode of One Last Breath, your hosts discuss the soundtrack “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Released in 1978, alongside the movie of the same title; the film and soundtrack boasted a star studded cast including The BeeGees, Peter Frampton, Alice Cooper, Steve Martin, Aerosmith and a bunch of less noteworthy people. Both the film and soundtrack were critical and commercial failures. Being released right in the heart of the disco craze of the late 70s, the soundtrack consists of 70s style covers of popular Beatles tracks; including most of the Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road albums. The very weird directions most of these covers went and the overall poor quality of the performances caused basically everyone who heard the album to be completely baffled (it was the first album to “return platinum” with over 4 million copies being returned to distributors).

Is the soundtrack rightfully looked at as a huge misstep by everyone involved, or is there actually more merit to it than critics or fans were willing to give it at the time? Tune in to find out!
