Happy Birthday Sgt Pepper
 

40 today!



Is there been any album since that has been so important in terms of widespread influence?

PS - I brought you a present: Within You Without You

Like Lennon reminded, Pepper was Paul's affair mainly. Still a brilliant album though, one of the very best.

My thread was gonna say "It was 40 years ago today." I listened to Sgt. Pepper's and a Little More today and was thinking I'd share its two discs of rarities, but then I remembered that this board would be the wrong place to do so.

Someone should upload Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father.

I know there are all sorts of bootlegs out there with things like 50 takes of Lucy in the Sky, but is there any bootleg that anyone would recommend that has one "demo" version of each song, before the studio trickery?

Yeah, Lee and the band do the song terrifically well, sonicl.








Continuing on the theme, here are the first two tracks from the second cd
of The Alternate Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band & A Little More. http://www.petervanschie.com/cds/dolphin.htm (disc info)

Within You Without You outtake with commentary by George Martin 13 MB

d2t2 Within You Without You extended version (5:50) 7 MB
(regular version is 5:07 (in case you were wondering))

GREAT album.

Thank you for those "Within You Without You"s, Atari. muchly appreciated.

That's what Iwas originally planning on (making just such a compilation), then, as this date drew nigh, I decided to just up the "sgt pepper's & a little more" 2-cd set; and then, all that degenerated into posting links for other (lesser) boots from a blog (see post above). note: there are no bootlegs that have multiple versions of Lucy. They don't exist. Some exist that have a couple on it, but most of them have mult. vers. of other songs, not that one.

notes for the fuck of it: There's a "Lost Pepperland Reel" with 9 tracks (some versions have extras added on from 1968 that aren't properly Pepper outtakes)

Love it.

A Day In The Life is just amazing.
