Sgt Pepper took over 12 months and Tommy took 8 months. They also had an advantage you could release only singles not attached to a full album. Pete Townsend threw together I can see for miles because they needed something to throw out there while creating Tommy.
Also record companies grew talent, it wasnt expected your first record to be a huge success.
