It would be hard to argue with the fact that The Beatles album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, is a remarkable milestone in the history of rock music. Released in June 1967, it was recorded using a pair of Studer J37 multitrack tape recorders by producer George Martin and audio engineer Geoff Emerick. Now, one of the two recorders used on the album has been added to Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, for a newly renovated exhibit dedicated to The Beatles and scheduled to open later this month. The analog tape recorder is on loan from Studer's own museum, and the exhibit nicely coincides with Studer's 60th Anniversary in the professional audio industry.
The J37 was the first studio-quality 4-channel tape recorder on the market, making its debut in 1964. The two Studer J37 recorders used on the Sgt. Pepper album were located in Studio Two at the legendary EMI Recording Studios in London, now more popularly known as the Abbey Road Studios. The eighth studio album for The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper was recorded over a lengthy 129-day period, which culminated in its landmark release in 1967 on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the most highly anticipated recordings of all time.
