Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a double album produced by George Martin,^[1] featuring covers of songs by the Beatles. It was released in July 1978 by RSO Records as the soundtrack to the film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which starred the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and Steve Martin.

The album debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and remained at No. 5 for six weeks. It also spawned three hit singles: Earth, Wind & Fire's "Got to Get You into My Life", Aerosmith's "Come Together" and Robin Gibb's "Oh! Darling". Despite this, the album was deemed a commercial and critical failure, with over four million copies being returned to distributors and thousands more destroyed by RSO, who experienced a financial loss after its release.
