Produced by Giles Martin, the album's new stereo mix was sourced directly from the original four-track session tapes. Praised by fans and music critics around the world, The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper' Anniversary Edition is 2017's most celebrated historical music release and an ideal gift for Beatle People here, there, and everywhere.
