Sgt. Pepper's 50th Anniversary editions to be released May 26, 2017* Anticipation Thread.

Pepper/White/Abbey Road would be a great 1-2-3 punch from Apple over the next 2-3 years. While Pepper is the historic, cultural landmark, the other 2 albums are just as monumental in the late catalog. The working style of that time suits well to creation of new mixes and studio outtakes. So let's hope Pepper does really well and encourages Apple/Universal to continue this journey a bit further...

 

I think with tv advertising the album should sell well. Don't think they'll get the female market anymore as Ed Sheeran carrot top singer has like 10 hits this year, and it's still March.

 

Here's where they recorded outisde of Abbey Road - have I missed anything out?

PARIS - EMI Pathé Marconi - Can't Buy Me Love, German She Loves You, German I Want To Hold Your Hand.
MUMBAI - EMI Mumbai (Bombay) - The Inner Light (Music only).
LONDON - Regent Sound - Fixing A Hole.
LONDON - Olympic - Baby You're A Rich Man, All You Need Is Love, Glyn Johns's 'Get Back' album mixes,
Something (overdubs), You Never Give Me Your Money.
LONDON - De Lane Lea - It's All Too Much.
LONDON - Chappell - Your Mother Should Know.
LONDON - Trident - Hey Jude, Dear Prudence, Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, Martha My Dear.
LONDON - Apple Studio - Several "Let It Be" songs.
LONDON - Apple Rooftop - Several "Let It Be" songs.

 

Pete Best?

 

A 5.1 mix of "Revolution 9", maybe THEN it will get the attention and praise it deserves.

 

I prefer it to TNK.

 

How many Beatles albums did John Lennon get the last song on side two?

 

Nah one of these

 

Giles Martin believes the socks and sandals Mono LPs best brigade could be right.

 

Seven and one-half.

John Lennon Album closers
Twist & Shout
Money
I'll Be Back
Dizzy Miss Lizzy
Run For Your Life
Tomorrow Never Knows
A Day In The Life 1/2
Julia (side 2, album 1)

Paul McCartney Album Closers
A Day In The Life (1/2)
Her Majesty
Get Back

George Harrison Album Closers
Everybody's Trying To be My Baby

Ringo Starr Album Closers
Good Night (Side 2, album 2)

 

A Day in the Life should be 3/4 or 4/5 Lennon! And not sure Her Majesty should count.

 

Happy 200th Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I've been waiting to say that for years.

 

Agreed on both points

If you look at the song writers it's
John 5 4/5
Paul 1 1/5

 

I believe that the Beatles did a new vocal for the song "Help" at C.T.S. Studios in London (only for the MONO version, right?)

 

Mama Cass Elliot's finger! The missing acetate!!!!

 

A song is either co-written or not. You can't break a song into fifths or whatever. John had the verses, though both of them contributed to the lyrics and music and Paul had the bridge. There's no chorus of course. The second bridge, the "ah's" was pretty much done on the spot and is sung by Paul. George Martin wrote the score having each instrument go from its lowest range to its highest. Neither John, nor Paul contributed to that part as the outtake clearly shows. And why shouldn't Her Majesty count? It's a song and it ends Abbey Road. Its relative brevity doesn't matter. If you don't want to count that, The End is also Paul, though all three play the crucial lead guitar sections. Notice George and Ringo weren't included as writers even though they both played crucial roles in the song? The words are Paul's. Ron

 

" The End is also Paul"
Agreed. Pretty sure he wrote the lyrics to that one.

 

Seems to have been announced at the end of March. Here's the article from NME, week ending April 1, 1967:

 

While HM is short, it packs a fair number of chords and words in and is really more of a song than either The End (also Paul) or I Want You and no less of a song than a number of tunes in the medley.

 

"Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning"?

 

No John sings the ahs

Take your point on The End

 

Sgt Pepper's Blues?

 

"Meter Rita"?

 

Goodnight was written by Lennon of course.

 

Meter Rita - she was only about 39 inches tall
