Editorial Reviews
American pop group Cheap Trick, in a reprisal of their widely successful sold-out concerts, salute the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' seminal Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album with a dynamic track-by-track rendition that features the New York Philharmonic orchestra, an Indian music ensemble and an array of very special guests. At the helm is none other than the legendary Geoff Emerick, who engineered the Fab Four's definitive album in 1967, and brings an exciting authenticity to the celebration. Cheap Trick genuinely infuse their brand of Beatlesque power pop into a live tribute that pays homage to their musical influences, by capturing the essence of an album that changed music history.

Booker T and the M G's also covered the entire album I believe.

Edit: may have been Abby Road.

It's a little long on the joke, but a cute idea.

It was Abby Road. I’ve got it and remember the cover has them walking across the road.

McLemore Avenue, released April 1970. Abbey Road was released Sept. 1969 (East McLemore is where Stax Records was.)

I really like it but for a real treat listen to George Benson's The Other Side of Abbey Road. It was released in summer of '70 but recording began just 3 weeks after Abbey Road was released.

Today I watched the 2009 Sgt. Pepper's Cheap Trick recorded at Waldorf Astoria. Nicely done.
