Abstract
We can have a “musical” experience through an “album cover” that does not contain any musical symbols, does not make any sounds, and is just a photograph, a work of art. Album covers are a new musical realm created by the musical collaboration of artists and musicians. You experience music through the album cover that you encounter first, and the music experienced through sight is now interpreted through sound. The importance of the album cover cannot be overlooked as it acts as a visual hook for the music. This study examines the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band from two perspectives: the album cover and the music, and discusses how the music is reflected in the album cover. Through the close connection between the music and the album cover, this paper focuses on the importance of the album cover as a work of art and its role in establishing its own domain separate from other arts.
