    Can anyone tell me about these posters? Is the Sgt Peppers poster a record store promo poster?

    Just a guess off the top of my head. Because the Sgt. Peppers poster says "The Original" at the top, I am thinking this is related to a reissue of the album.

    The Sgt Pepper's album came with a poster in it. It would have fold marks to match the album cover size.

    The first shows them in about '64 - '65, but that doesn't necessarily mean the poster is that old.

    Another thought... "The Original" could have been, well - original to the album. The album was creating a mythology about this Sgt. Peppers band that had supposedly been around for 20 years ("It was 20 years ago today..."). So if the poster was going along with the myth, perhaps it was original.

    were they making prerecorded audio tapes when this album came out ?

    I don’t recall the Sgt. Pepper’s album having a poster insert. The White Album had those photo inserts but that’s the only Beatles album I’m aware of that had inserts.


    Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Waters had a poster insert. The Who’s Live at Leeds came with copies of the concert contract. Harry Nilsson’s The Point! had a story book insert. I think a couple of Pink Floyd albums had inserts.

    I see that 1978 was also the year that the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, starring the BeeGees, came out. So the phrase "The Original" on the poster may have been making reference to the fact that the Beatles version was the original.

    I'm also seeing that Capitol Records reissued the Beatles' version of Sgt. Peppers as a picture disc that year, probably in conjunction with the movie version coming out.
