Who Killed Sgt. Pepper? is the eleventh studio album by American psychedelic rock band The Brian Jonestown Massacre. It was released in February 2010 on band leader Anton Newcombe's A Records.
The album was recorded in Iceland and at Studio East in Berlin.
The album guest features, among a variety of international musicians, Spacemen 3 bassist Will Carruthers and vocalists Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir and Felix Bondareff.
The album's title refers to The Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It may also refer to Who Killed Bambi?, an early working title for The Sex Pistols' film The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle, as well as a song on the film's soundtrack.
The album was available for free streaming prior to release, and, like My Bloody Underground, music videos were made for each of the album's songs.
