Well the idea behind the album was to create a fictitious band that contained "alter egos" for each bandmember and record and album with set band, which they named Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. The purpose behind the creation of the band was to attain creative freedom which would allow them to experiment with their music, however after the album's release John Lenon stated that almost all the songs could have been on any other album, so you could argue that it ended up as something other than a concept album, but i think the intentions and idea behind the album makes it a concept album.
