The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: Anniversary Edition (2-CD)
Product Details
Released in the spring of 1967, Sgt. Pepper arrived at a moment when the Beatles had already retired from touring, channeling everything into the studio. Giles Martin's 2017 remix opens up the original four-track recordings in ways that let you hear the album almost as the band heard it in the room, with "A Day in the Life" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" taking on new depth and spatial presence.
It was 50 years ago when The Beatles' John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr astonished and delighted the world, ushering in the Summer of Love with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a groundbreaking masterwork that became popular music's most universally
acclaimed album. The album is newly mixed by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, sourced directly from the four-track masters at Abbey Road Studios in London, and guided by the original, Beatles-preferred mono mix produced by his father, George Martin.
This expanded 2CD package features the new stereo album mix on the first CD and adds a second CD of 18 tracks, including previously unreleased alternate takes of each of the album's 13 songs, newly mixed in stereo and sequenced in the same order as the album. The second CD also includes a new stereo mix and a previously unreleased instrumental take of 'Penny Lane,' and the 2015 stereo mix and two previously unreleased alternate takes of 'Strawberry Fields Forever.'
