Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Parlophone PMC 7027 (mono) & PCS 7027 (stereo) Released: June 1, 1967

Highest chart position: 1: June 5, 1967

Capitol MAS-2653 (mono) & SMAS-2653 (stereo) Released: June 2, 1967

Highest chart position: 1: July 3, 1967

Recorded between Dec. 6th and April 3rd 1967. Sgt. Pepper took more than 700 hours to record and cost about $75,000.00 record.

Peter Blake, a prominent contemporary British artist, was hired to design the album cover. He asked each of the Beatles to list people they would

like to see on the cover. The lists were compiled and became the background.

At the Beatles' insistence, the gatefold LP marked the first occurrence of an identical track listing in a U.K. and U.S. Beatle album. However, only the U.K. version has a short section of noise, gibberish, and a 15 kilocycle pitch (not audible to humans) in the LP's run-out groove. The first LP to has lyrics

printed on it.

The record was officially released on June 1, 1967, although it was rush released on May 26. It was actually played on the BBC radio show Where It's At, on May 20. Within one week 250,000 copies of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely

Hearts Club Band sold in the U.K. and the record charted for an unprecedented 148 weeks. In the U.S. 2.5 million copies sold within three

months and the album stayed in the No. 1 spot for nineteen weeks.

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band had a bunch of Beatles 1st associated with it:

1st – Beatle album to be the SAME BOTH in The US and UK before Sgt. Pepper the albums had different songs as well as different

titles… 1st Beatle album to print the lyrics

1st Beatle album to have a gatefold jacket 1st album they band didn’t tour with…. ANYBODY

ELSE???

The Beatles – Getting Better - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Recorded March 9th 1967 in a somewhat classic evening of recording. John Lennon while doing back up vocals began to feel very ill, but more

nervous than actually ill. They took him to the roof to get some air, (as they couldn’t go out the front doors of the studio as a ton of Apple Scuffs were

their) and when he got to the roof John realized he must have taken some acid (forgot John?)…He watched the rest of the session and

afterwards Paul took John home and took acid for the first time to comfort his pal.

The Beatles – Fixing A Hole - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club

Band Recorded Feb. 9th at Regent Studios with over dubbing a few weeks later

back at Abbey Road. The night the Beatles recorded “Fixing A Hole” a guy turned up at Paul McCartney’s who announced himself as

Jesus…Paul of course took him to the studio to introduce Jesus the band…they never saw him again after that.

The song was said to have written while fixing his roof on his Scottish farmhouse hence the title….but Paul said in the book Many Years From

Now that this was not true at all. Long time Beatle assistant Mal Evans claims to have written the song but

of course not credited…but was paid for his HELP! McCartney .85 / Lennon .15

Mono/Stereo Differences "Sgt. Pepper's

Lonely Hearts Club Band"

The mono version has a more prominent guitar towards the end, which is barely audible on the stereo

version. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"

The vocal has a noticeable echo on the mono version, which is not there on the stereo version. This gives the

mono version a dreamier quality.

"She's Leaving Home"

The stereo version is slower than the mono version, which sounds much faster.

"Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club

Band (Reprise)"

On the mono version the audience sounds begin more sharply, the drum intro is 4 drumbeats longer, and there are some words spoken by John and some

audience laughter ALL of which are missing from the stereo mix.

Paul speaks at the end, but it can barely be heard on the stereo version, but ...

The transition from "Good Morning" is not as smooth on the mono release.

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever – Magical Mystery Tour Recorded Nov/ Dec. 1966

Written in Spain while John was filming “How I Won The War” Strawberry Fields was actually a Salvation Army home in the

The Beatles - I’m Only Sleeping - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Written by John and Paul at Kenwood, John’s estate in Weybridge, in one writing session. Recording of the backing rhythm track began at 11:30 p.m. on April 27, 1966. John recorded his lead vocal on April 29. Both the vocal and backing track were recorded at variable speed. It was during the recording of “I’m Only Sleeping” that The Beatles discovered the “backwards guitar.” On May 5, 1966, as the band continued

working on the song, George painstakingly transcribed the notes in his guitar solo and flourishes and then wrote them out backwards. He then played them in that reverse order. The tapes were then superimposed BACKWARDS in the mix, playing the solo notes and embellishments in the correct order, but maintaining the eerie backwards sound. “I’m Only Sleeping” was one of three songs issued in America six weeks prior to their official release in the UK. American and Canadian Beatles fans heard “I’m Only Sleeping,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” and “Doctor Robert” first on Capitol Records’ “Yesterday And Today” album, issued June 20, 1966. The rest of the world had to wait until the first week of August for them to appear on the “Revolver” LP.

On U.S. album: Yesterday And Today - Capitol LP

The Beatles - I Feel Fine- A Collection Of Oldies (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ eighth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

Recorded in nine takes on October 18, 1964. Written entirely by John Lennon. He based the guitar riff on Bobby Parker’s obscure R&B record “Watch Your Step.” The recording marked the first occasion in which guitar feedback had been deliberately incorporated

into a pop song. The sound was achieved by Paul plucking a single bass string and John getting amplifier feedback from his guitar. Issued in the U.S. on November 23, 1964,

and in U.K. four days later. Not included on the “Beatles For Sale” LP, which was released on December 4, 1964 in the UK.

(Harrison) Lead vocal: George

The fifth original composition by George Harrison to be recorded by The Beatles was completed on November 8, 1965 in one take with overdubs under the working title

“Won’t Be There With You.” The song features Paul playing his bass through a fuzz box to give it a distorted sound.

On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP

Wings – Getting Closer - Back To The Egg

This song had been lying around since 1974 in an unfinished form. This was the first time in five years that a leadoff single from the album was a “rocker.” This may have had to do with why the single didn’t perform as well, as the audience

who had expected some lighter material.

The Beatles - I Should Have Known Better - A Hard Day’s Night

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John

Following their triumphant visit to America The Beatles were thrust back to work. On February 25, 1964 they dove into new songs slated for their film. On this day they

recorded “You Can’t Do That” and began work on Paul’s “And I Love Her” and John’s “I Should Have Known Better.” In the film “I Should Have Known Better” was performed in

the train compartment scene, which in reality was the interior of a van with crew members rocking the van to fake the train in motion. Used as the flip side of the U.S. “A Hard Day’s Night” single. Paul’s “Things We Said Today” was the UK b-side. Recorded

Feb. 25-26, 1964. On U.S. album:

A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Hey Jude - Apple LP (1970)

The Beatles – Boys – Please Please Me

(Dixon-Farrell) Lead vocal: Ringo

Recorded in just one take on February 11, 1963. “Boys” was drummer Ringo Starr’s first recorded lead vocal. Luther Dixon and Wes Farrell’s song was originally recorded by The Shirelles and was the b-side to their smash hit “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” This song

was usually Ringo’s contribution at The Beatles’ live performances during their North American Tour in the summer of 1964.

The Beatles - Rain - Non-LP B-side (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John

Recorded on April 14 and 16, 1966. The track is notable for the backwards vocal from John Lennon at the end of the song. The section is John singing part of the first verse but the tape is superimposed backwards in the mix. The song contains slowed down

instruments, guitar distortion, and vocals recorded and played back at variable speed. Aside from Paul McCartney’s dominant bass part, the song features a striking drum

performance from Ringo, who has called “Rain” his favorite Beatles song. The B-side of “Paperback Writer.” Issued in America on May 23, 1966 and the UK on June 10, 1966,

several months in advance of the “Revolver” album. On U.S. album:

Hey Jude - Capitol LP (1970)

The Beatles - Paperback Writer - A Collection Of Beatles Oldies

(Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul

The Beatles’ twelfth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

Recorded on April 13 and 14, 1966. The track is notable for Paul McCartney’s furious bass line. The bass is so prominent in the mix that sound engineers at EMI worried it

could cause the stylus of a record player tone arm (the needle thing on record players) to jump when fans played the 45 RPM single at home. Thankfully, no such calamity

occurred. For this heavy bass sound Paul’s chose to replace his usual Hofner bass with a Rickenbacker 4001S bass. Aside from the dominant bass part, McCartney also provides the lead guitar, with George Harrison working the tambourine. The second and third

verse backing vocal is the French nursery rhyme “Frere Jacques.” Released in America on May 23 and in the UK on June 10. “Paperback Writer” made the second largest ever jump to No. 1 on Billboard's chart. It debuted at number 28 on June 11, 1966, moved to

15 and then to number 1 on June 25. The only single to make a bigger jump was another Beatles song, “Can't Buy Me Love.”

The Beatles - A Hard Day’s Night - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John with Paul The Beatles’ seventh single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

The title is a Ringoism, coined by the drummer sometime in 1963 and used by John in his book “In His Own Write.” With the film nearly completed the last bit of business was

to give the film a name. The project was being filmed with the working title “Beatlemania.” On April 13, 1964 The Beatles met with key personnel from the studio and bounced title ideas. It was felt they’d find no better suggestion than Ringo’s off-

hand remark “it’s been a hard day’s night” and John volunteered to write the title song that evening. The next morning he brought the song in and taught it to Paul. Paul

cleaned up the middle section and the two played it for producer Walter Shenson. Two days later The Beatles would formally record the song.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour - Magical Mystery Tour

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine – STAY TUNED TELL YA HOW TO WIN (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Ringo

The Beatles’ thirteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. One of The Beatles’ most innovative creations to date, a children’s sing-along, was written mostly by Paul with assistance from John for Ringo’s vocal contribution to the “Revolver” album. The track would later be used as the title song of the group’s animated film project, which was released in 1968 in the UK. Pop singer Donovan helped Paul with the lyrics, coming up with the memorable line, “Sky of blue, sea of green.”

Recorded February 11, 1963. Written primarily by John Lennon for George Harrison to sing. The song was given to another Brian Epstein-managed act, Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas, to cover. Their version topped the British charts in late spring 1963. Inspired by "I'm Wishing," a song from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated film “Snow White and the

Seven Dwarfs” that Lennon’s mother used to sing to him when he was a child. On U.S. albums:

The last song recorded during the marathon session on February 11, 1963. Two takes were completed before Lennon’s voice gave out. The released version is the first take.

Originally recorded by The Isley Brothers in May 1962, The Beatles performed it regularly in their live act between 1962 and 1965. Its inclusion in the 1986 film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” sent the song up the Billboard singles chart 22 years after its initial

U.S. release. On U.S. albums:

The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There – Please Please Me

Recorded February 11, 1963. A Paul McCartney original, the song was written in one day in September 1962 in the front parlor of 20 Forthlin Road, Allerton (the McCartney

family from 1955 to 1964), with John Lennon helping with some of the lyrics. It was recorded under its working title, “Seventeen,” at the marathon recording session that

produced the majority of songs for the Beatles’ debut album. A fan favorite, the Beatles recorded “I Saw Her Standing There” eleven times for BBC Radio between March 1963

and May 1964. McCartney has said that his bass line was lifted almost note for note from the obscure Chuck Berry song “I’m Talking About You,” released by Berry in

February 1961. The Beatles performed “I’m Talking About You” at some of their club shows in 1962 and 1963. It is included on the “Live! At The Star Club” CD.

Specially selected by Capitol Records staff members to be the b-side of the American “I

Want to Hold Your Hand” single on Capitol in the U.S., replacing “This Boy” for the honor. The first song on the first Beatles LP.

The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven – With The Beatles (Berry)

Lead vocal: George Chuck Berry’s rock and roll standard was released as a single in May 1956 on Chess Records. It peaking at #29. A staple of The Beatles’ live show from the earliest days,

Beatles fans will be surprised to learn that John Lennon was the lead singer of the song in those very early club days. In 1961 George Harrison took over lead vocals. “Roll Over Beethoven” was the opening song at The Beatles’ first concert in America, February 11, 1964 in Washington D.C., and opens Capitol’s “The Beatles’ Second Album,” released on

April 10, 1964. On U.S. album:

The Beatles - Hold Me Tight – With The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul Initially recorded during the marathon “Please Please Me” session on February 11, 1963,

the song was not chosen for inclusion on The Beatles’ debut album and the tape containing that day’s recording had been lost, recorded over or destroyed. On

September 12, 1963, their fourth recording session for the “With The Beatles” LP, the song was started from scratch. “Hold Me Tight” had been written by Paul and John

sometime in 1961 and the song was part of their set list from 1961 through 1963 during their Cavern Club and Hamburg club days.

On U.S. album: Meet The Beatles! - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Please Mister Postman – With The Beatles (Dobbins-Garrett-Brianbert)

Lead vocal: John Beatlemania was not only a boon for record shops and merchants selling any number of

licensed Beatles products (Beatle wigs, Beatles boots, paperback books, magazines, board games, buttons and other novelties), it also gave a significant financial boost to songwriters and music publishers of the non-original songs the group covered on its

early albums. No label benefited more from their talent roster’s hit records being covered by The Beatles than Detroit-based Motown Records. Three of Motown’s hits

were included on The Beatles’ second album: “Please Mr. Postman,” “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me,” and “Money (That’s What I Want).” “Please Mr. Postman” was the debut

single by The Marvelettes, and the first single issued by a Motown label (in this case, Tamla) to hit number one on the Billboard pop charts. The songwriting credits for the

song have changed throughout the years. The liner notes and record label for “With The Beatles” credits only “Holland” (Brian Holland) as the songwriter. The original Tamla and Fontana (UK) 45s list the writers as Dobbins-Garrett-Brianbert. Decades later the credit

has expanded to include an additional writer brought in to finish the song (Freddie Gorman, another songwriting partner of Brian Holland), and separated the writing

partnership of Brian Holland and Robert Bateman (previously combined as Brianbert). The credit should now read: Dobbins-Garrett-Holland-Bateman-Gorman. Parlophone also

spells out “Mister” where the title appears, but the Marvelettes version has it abbreviated as “Mr.” Recorded July 30, 1963.

On U.S. album: The Beatles’ Second Album - Capitol LP

The Beatles - Don’t Bother Me – With The Beatles (Harrison)

Lead vocal: George George Harrison’s first recorded original song. While some may see it as a misfortune that Harrison was surrounded by two of the most gifted songwriters in history, this proximity gave him great insight into the mechanics of writing a song from scratch. His first attempt was more than a throwaway composition. He called “Don’t Bother Me” an “exercise” to see if he could write a song, and it was written while George was sick in a bed at the Palace Court Hotel in Bournemouth where The Beatles were playing six nights at Gaumont Cinema in mid-August of 1963. It was during this engagement (on August 22) that photographer Robert Freeman took the iconic “artsy” cover photograph of the band in half lighting that would grace the cover of both the British “With The Beatles” album and the American “Meet The Beatles!” album. Using the basic Lennon-McCartney song structure George crafted a “Beatles song” that was on par with the material the band was currently working up for their second album. Getting the other Beatles and producer George Martin to take his work seriously was another matter, and it would take years for Harrison to finally be given his due. Normally he was relegated to one or two songs per album. Aside from the financial windfall George received from having an original composition on albums selling in the multi-millions worldwide, George said, “It showed me that all I needed to do was keep on writing and maybe eventually I would write something good. It did, however, provide me with an occupation.” Recorded on September 11 and 12, 1963.
