The Making of Sgt Pepper (Part 2)

u know what take pepper and stick it up your ass the most overrated piece of baby boomer crap ever

This is really interesting, manipulating the different sounds, voices, and instruments.

It would be wonderful to hear it like that. I grew up listening to it and so its been watered down from all the exposure. To hear it fresh would be priceless.

these sessions are legendary

isin't strawberry fields on magical mystery toor

In Britian, EMI put out all of the orginal MMT songs into a double EP set. But Captiol Records in the U.S. wanted an LP (EP's didn't sell well in North America). So they took the MMT songs and added Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, All You Need Is Love and Baby, You're A Rich Man - which had earlier been released as singles only - and made MMT into an LP for North America.

Yea. Thats correct but as George Martin said it was from the same sessions but it didn't end up on Sgt Peppers...

i guess it counts since it was going to be on sgt. pepper

i guess Geoff Emerick also played a crucial role on that

I think that George Martin means that it was the first single since their second U.K single that did not reach number 1. Love Me Do war originally number 17, and Please Please Me made number 2. Then through to the Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane single, all singles were amazingly number 1, and, of course, they had quite a few afterwards as well. Really it should have been counted as no1 because it was a double a side and outsold "release me", but the ridiculous counting system split it to number 2.
