Sgt. Pepper's spice-alley is a giant step forward: the audience noises, applauses in a Day In The Life ... for a non-live album I think that it was a great idea ... and the lack of pauses between some songs was another new idea (they were saying: no singles in this one) ... so it could be a pre-pop pera (Porompompom, poropo porompompero pero!)
Hardly a concept album though. So I can't see that it was an opera.

It was not my intention to say it's an opera album ... but, as it was pnxo who asked, I answered him using a pun in sunnish with a well-known song's refrain ... pre-pop pera (Porompompom, poropo porompompero pero!)

I should have read more closely really. I did read a long time ago that they wanted to arrange the first letters of the songs to spell something. And, there was some talk too of doing an album about a boy growing up in Liverpool; now if they had done that, it would have been great!
I don't think Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road were concepts but Macca did start the whole Pepper concept off. But Pepper is really a straight forward album with brilliant songs! and it had this beautiful idea of sgt pepper & his band! Abbey Road is very sraight forward i think. I don't find any concept in Abbey Road even though some people seem to think the medley was. A lot of them were unfinished and put together to end the album off. come together, something and octopus's garden all all seperate songs and don't seem at all in a concept. Abbey Road is a classic of course!!
It's been a Hard Days Night & i've been working like a dog!
Peppers was concept. Lots of people say it is. It wasn't thought of at the time as concept by anyone in the studio but it has been labelled with a concept tag, people like tags.
So yes it is concept now but it weren't then you see.

Explain yerself, Master?
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
