It pains me to have to choose between Pink Floyd, Beefheart and VU & Nico, but the Piper it is today.

Really? What concept have I missed that would be ruined with Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane replacing say... Getting Better and Fixing a Hole?

I don't even know how Sgt. Pepper is a concept album anyway. I mean yeah, the intro and reprise are connected, and... uh, that's about it

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Sgt Pepper. But the "conceptual" aspect of it has always been a bit overstated in my opinion 
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

We have two types of concept albums.
One who "tells" a story and another where all the songs revolve around one central idea. Sgt Pepper belongs to the second category...

What is the concept behind Sgt. Pepper?
The idea for the album was Paul McCartney's; the goal: to extinguish the trappings of Beatlemania. “Let's not be ourselves,” he proposed to his bandmates, “Let's develop alter egos…to put some distance between the Beatles and the public.” They would be the fictional Sgt.

^I see. Yes that rock solid concept obviously leaves no room for those two far superior songs. Anyway:

"In keeping with the Beatles' usual philosophy that tracks released on a single should not appear on new albums, both "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" were left off Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Martin later stated that this was an approach that he had encouraged, and it was a "dreadful mistake"
