Jackson Browne's the dead guy on the left and J.D. Souther on the right. I always liked Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell and Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On as 2 great concept albums.

When we'd finishd it, Paul said, 'Why don't we make the whole album as though the Pepper Band really existed, as though Sargeant Pepper was doing the record. We can dub in effects and things.' From that moment on, it was as if Pepper had a life of its own.'..."It (the album cover) was further unique in opening out like a book, and in having the song lyrics printed in full on the back. Inside with the record was as sheet of cut-out novelties, figments of the Beatles. own comic-book childhood transformed to the last, or next, word in POP Art-a Sergeant Pepper picture card, a paper mustache, two badges and a set of NCO's stripes."

Incidentally, I do have an original Sgt. Pepper album set described above.
