The Beatles Album That Left George Harrison Feeling 'Cold and Bored'
The Beatles had several successful albums that are still regarded today as classics. While each Beatles member felt differently about each album, one of their best-selling albums left George Harrison feeling “cold and bored.”In 1967, The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album was a pivotal moment in the band’s tenure as it found the band at its most experimental. Many of the tracks were notable for their unique instruments, surreal lyrics, and psychedelic sounds. Even the artwork for the album featured The Beatles in a colorful collage, dressed in distinct outfits.
The album was immediately influential as the fashion and music of the late 1960s began to reflect what The Beatles captured in Sgt. Pepper’s. Upon its release, the album peaked at No. 1 on the official charts in the U.K. and on the Billboard charts in the U.S. 2.5 million copies had been sold in its first three months, making it the most successful Beatles album then.
