Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band Diorama

The first time I heard Sgt Pepper was one evening when Radio Caroline broadcast the whole of the first side. Up till that moment, I had heard nothing of the Beatles’ beyond Rubber Soul. I grabbed a cassette and recorded it. Over the following weeks I listened incessantly to that recording until I’ve saved up enough pocket money to buy my own copy of the full LP. 

You should be able to spot five different titles, some represented more than once. Depending on how many lines we count for the meter maid, there are at least ten specific references. Besides John, Paul, George and Ringo, there are minifigures of Lucy, Rita and ‘She’. If I was more skilled with Bricklink’s Studio I’d have been able to get a better version of the uniforms worn by the Fab Four and the dial on the meter. 

The Liverpool terrace house is based on Ringo Starr’s home that the family sold in 1964 using a photograph available from Getty Images, not the current white and pink appearance you’ll find on Google.
