A little Sgt. Pepper drum, all dressed for Christmas: The drum from the 1967 album sleeve has become an officially licensed, hand-painted ceramic decoration, suspended from a golden ribbon. Its round face and bright colours are ready to join the Christmas tree, with rather less fuss than assembling an entire band. No drummer required.
The red-and-gold drumhead from the sleeve: A pale centre carries the ornate Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band lettering around a colourful flourish, with a red rim, gold detailing and blue sides. On the record cover, that drum sits below the Beatles in their bright uniforms and in front of a crowd. Here, the painted details have the place to themselves.
Gold ribbon for a proper place on the tree: Choose a sturdy branch where the round painted face can look out between the other decorations. When Christmas is over, the ribbon also lets you display it from a suitable indoor hook. Handle the ceramic gently when hanging or putting it away; this little drum is an ornament, not a toy.
For the listener who knows what follows the reprise: Near the end of Sgt. Pepper, the imaginary band comes back for a final bow before A Day in the Life. Give this little drum to someone who hears that change as soon as they see the lettering. It comes in a Beatles-branded box, ready for its next appearance every Christmas.

Product Description

Everybody else on the Sgt. Pepper cover is staying put. The big red-rimmed drum has booked itself a Christmas engagement. Recreated in hand-painted ceramic, complete with blue sides and a gold hanging ribbon, it is considerably easier to find room for on the tree than a whole imaginary band.

Everybody on the cover, one drum at the front

Look at the original sleeve: bright uniforms, flowers spelling out The Beatles, and a gathering of faces that could keep you occupied for ages. Peter Blake and Jann Haworth helped turn Paul's imaginary band into a wonderfully crowded scene. Yet the drum at the very front does the introducing. No need to identify everyone in the back row to know exactly what you're looking at.

The detail worth unpacking

Fine gold lines cross the red rim; the blue sides frame a pale drumhead with curling lettering and a colourful flourish at its centre. You see more of it when you take the decoration out of its Beatles-branded box and turn it gently in your hand. It's a proper little drum shape, not a flat picture of the record sleeve, and the ribbon is ready for a place to hang.

A small guest in the Christmas line-up

There may be baubles older than some of the records, a handmade star and lights that take longer to untangle than they should. The little drum looks entirely at home in that odd Christmas line-up. Once the tree comes down, it needn't vanish until December: a suitable indoor hook will do for a longer stay. Or lift it down carefully and return it to its Beatles-branded box. Next year, it can take the stage again.
