About the Artist
Twisted pop madness and sugar-fueled sing-along absurdism. The most important album in the history of recorded music. Classic rock of 2015. A-sides of pirate pop and B-sides of garage philosophy. CD includes the Body Parts & Flying Things EP.
Product Description
The best guitar, bass and Tupperware band in New Jersey. They Might Be Giants meet the Muppets. Humor, pop, folk, punk, weirdness. Classic rock of 2014.
Don't get me wrong, each and every one of the songs I haven't already talked about on Sgt. Pepper are very good, but none of them are good enough to help "A Day in the Life" make this album live up to the hype.
Oh, and for the record, I'm not excpecting very many people to say I have a helpful review, I'm just saying what I believe.
Paul came up with the concept after hearing about Elvis' Car went "On Tour." He thought that Sgt.Pepper would be an interesting concept to have these alter egos, so the music "wouldn't be songs that they necessarily wrote, but Sgt.Pepper did." The opening track "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and " the Reprise are really the only songs that directly match up with the concept, but the songs inbetween are just as close to perfect as one could get them to be.
With a little help from my Friends is great, but I personally like Joe Cocker's version better (the one from the Wonder Years.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was written after a drawing Julian lennon did and commonly thought of to be a drug song. It's one of my favorite Lennon songs. I love the intro with Paul's Bass, it's so simple but it just hits my ear drums the right way.
Getting Better is about the time when John was really falling for Yoko.
I love George's guitar in Fixing a Hole. It sounds a lot like (Ticket to Ride)
She's Leaving Home is a sad song that's got McCartney written all over it.
The following track has that weird surreal circus sound that's very fitting for the album. George Martin was great at helping the group come up with new sounds.
Within You Without You often goes unnoticed i think. It's a great song by George, that I think is great, the sound, the lyrics, etc.
Lovely Rita and When I'm Sixty four are nice little tunes but not very fitting i don't think, I would have liked to have seen Strawberry Fields be on this album cause it was the first track recorded during the sessions and because it's a great lennon song.
I like the randomness of Good Morning Good Morning. The title comes from a Corn Flakes commerical that John overheard when he was writting one day.
A Day in the Life is right after the reprise. I love how John and Pau tied in their separate parts with a great orchestral crescendo. Everything just goes together and it just works.
Definitely pick this album up if you haven't or download it or check it out at your library cause it's a must have for any music fan or art fan cause this is such an important album in music history and it changed music forever, no joke.

"Beatlephonic Medley" is lively from the outset and stays that way, as the orchestra skips rapidly through samples of "Got To Get You Into My Life," "Eight Days A Week," "Penny Lane," "Yellow Submarine," "Get Back," "Day Tripper," "Ticket To Ride" and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," all in barely over four minutes!
The only non-Beatles track here, "Mull Of Kintyre," opens with a lone female voice, followed by some gently expanding music, and then the full choir. The song has a rousing finale that seems to include every bad bagpiper in Edinburgh and beyond.
For "elevator music," "I Am The Walrus" is quite nice, staying remarkably true to the original-- the violins "singing" the "goo-goo-ga-joobs" are most impressive. The Royal Choral Society's efforts on the SGT PEPPER'S intro are a real hoot. This six-minute track includes a hint of "With A Little Help From My Friends," which is equally grotty. Then follows a lovely "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," lovely that is, until that chorus starts up again. The coda is the predictable SGT PEPPER'S outro.
The other selections on THE BEATLES GREATEST HITS are equally interesting. Anyone who appreciates quality orchestrations and also likes the music of Lennon & McCartney is certain to enjoy this album.
TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 46:45
If youre lucky enough to find this, buy this. Its a limited edition, even in Russia, where everything changes at a dizzying pace, so they could be collectors' someday. 10 out of 5 stars. A job superbly done by the cool people at Maximum CD. Awesome
Except for a nicely done brief intro, SGT. PEPPER'S opens with two stinkbomb songs in a row. Side Two repeats that pattern with ANOTHER couple of mediocre cuts right at the top! There is NO way "A Little Help From My Friends," "Lucy In The Sky," "Within You, Without You" or "When I'm 64" come near to being even merely adequate, let alone "legends." Yet THIS is the Beatles album that gets the highest ratings? Uh-uh!
For a "concept" record, Side Two of ABBEY ROAD is supreme, and that entire album has held up far better over time than this one. There's a darn good reason there were NO TOP 40 singles on SGT. PEPPER'S-- the trademark universal appeal these four guys previously had simply disappeared in a haze, like a bag of weed at a frat party.
Undoubtedly, a hundred years from now SGT. PEPPER'S will be considered an anomaly in the Beatles canon and not the Holy Grail of rock music. Holey pail, maybe.
If "Sgt. Pepper" was released today, it would fail disastrously. Comparing this music to that released since 1967, it appears to be nothing special. Ah, but there is the rub. For those people who seem to think that umpteen other groups are better, they fail to remember that "Sgt. Pepper" is considered by PERFORMERS to be a ground breaking album that was influential in their careers. So, it is true that "Sgt. Pepper" is primarily great because of what it was when it was released, and how it influenced rock music. So when you see lists of rock albums, what is the title? If the title is greatest or most influential, then likely "Sgt. Pepper" will be in the top 10, and perhaps even #1.
What made this album influential? Partially it was underlying theme of the album. The album is not a concept album as such, but it began life as a concept album, and enough of the concept remained that the theme running through the album influenced other rockers to make unified concept albums. Another reason the album is influential is the experimentation the Beatles did. The transitions between songs, the sound effects, the unusual instruments and the speed variations between songs foreshadowed the coming of progressive rock.
This CD opens with the eponymous "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." The song combines a pseudo live performance with orchestral and rock instruments in one of the ground-breaking moments of rock. This song alone is probably one of the most influential songs of its era. The song serves as an introduction to the pop song "With a Little Help from My Friends," with Ringo taking a rare lead vocal and doing so marvelously.
The song that follows is one of the more controversial songs of the classic rock era. Many critics suggested the song was about drugs, but John Lennon and the other members of the Beatles suggested a more prosaic origin. John's son Julian Lennon showed his father a picture of a schoolmate named Lucy and told his father that the picture was "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Any association of the initials of the words Lucy Sky and Diamonds with LSD was purely coincidental. The imagery in the song, while psychedelic, was largely inspired by "Through the Looking Glass" and English children's shows. The song has maintained its popularity over the years and returned to the charts sung by Elton John and supported by John Lennon in the 70s.
"Getting Better" and "Fixing a Hole" are two relatively mundane songs for this album. While the songs are more typical of the Beatles' style prior to this album, they seem slightly out of place with many of the surrounding songs.
I consider "She's Leaving Home" to be a song much like "Yesterday." The song is elegant and understated, with beautiful harmonies and simple musical themes. The Beatles could be at their best with the mundane topics of everyday life, bringing a power to a situation that few others have managed. This song is one of the best songs on this CD.
The song "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" is clever and sinister. Multiple recordings of various instruments were cut and randomly spliced together to generate the sound effects heard prominently during the song, especially at the end. The song was intended to have a carnival feel, I think I am influenced by "Something Wicked this Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury, which this song always brings to my mind. The song is wonderfully experimental in its own way another of the ground-breaking moments on this album.
The song "Within You Without You" is technically not a Beatles song at all, as George Harrison recorded the song with a group of Indian musicians. The song is perfect for this album, in retrospect. I have always thought George Harrison's contributions, though fewer than Lennon and McCartney's helped influence the Beatles significantly.
The next three songs, "When I'm Sixty Four," "Lovely Rita," and "Good Morning, Good Morning," are like the pair of songs I noted earlier. Their style is more similar to earlier Beatles' music, though the use of clarinets on "When I'm Sixty Four" is extremely unusual for rock. Though the music is serviceable, the better songs on this album overshadow these.
After a reprise of the opening track, this album ends with "A Day in the Life," which is one of the best Beatles songs ever, and one of the best songs in rock music. The topic is very mature, the music well organized, and provided the perfect ending to one of the best albums in rock music.
As a side note, this album received four Grammy Awards in 1968, including album of the year, sandwiched between a Frank Sinatra album the year before, and a Glen Campbell album the year after. I believe this album was the first rock album to obtain a Grammy Award for album of the year.
There are numerous resources that explain the importance of this album in far greater detail than a 1000 word review will permit. I suggest those who continue to scoff at the importance of this album to review those resources. Everyone else is already aware of this album's greatness and significance. Enjoy!
This recording was on the cutting edge for its time, and it was a very definite, new direction for the Fab Four, as they seemed to want to shed their original mop haired image with all due speed. It was a psychedelic precursor of the youth revolution that was to come. Flower power was just around the corner, as was the so called psychedelic drug craze.
Some of the songs on this recording heralded the new era. The whimsical "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was the mantra for this movement, while the mournful refrains of "She's Leaving Home" illustrated the general disaffection of youth which was so prevalent at the time. "A Little Help From My Friends" was certainly the blueprint for getting along for many baby boomers during that era which this recording heralded.
For many reasons, this remains one of the most important and seminal recordings ever made, and no music collection should be without it.
OK...Here goes...It's the greatest recording of all time. Buy it now.

Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy AltmanCustomer Reviews:

Muzak of the Fab Four.......2007-01-30
"Beatlephonic Medley" is lively from the outset and stays that way, as the orchestra skips rapidly through samples of "Got To Get You Into My Life," "Eight Days A Week," "Penny Lane," "Yellow Submarine," "Get Back," "Day Tripper," "Ticket To Ride" and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," all in barely over four minutes!
The only non-Beatles track here, "Mull Of Kintyre," opens with a lone female voice, followed by some gently expanding music, and then the full choir. The song has a rousing finale that seems to include every bad bagpiper in Edinburgh and beyond.
For "elevator music," "I Am The Walrus" is quite nice, staying remarkably true to the original-- the violins "singing" the "goo-goo-ga-joobs" are most impressive. The Royal Choral Society's efforts on the SGT PEPPER'S intro are a real hoot. This six-minute track includes a hint of "With A Little Help From My Friends," which is equally grotty. Then follows a lovely "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," lovely that is, until that chorus starts up again. The coda is the predictable SGT PEPPER'S outro.
The other selections on THE BEATLES GREATEST HITS are equally interesting. Anyone who appreciates quality orchestrations and also likes the music of Lennon & McCartney is certain to enjoy this album.

Sgt. Pep Pills.......2007-01-17
Except for a nicely done brief intro, SGT. PEPPER'S opens with two stinkbomb songs in a row. Side Two repeats that pattern with ANOTHER couple of mediocre cuts right at the top! There is NO way "A Little Help From My Friends," "Lucy In The Sky," "Within You, Without You" or "When I'm 64" come near to being even merely adequate, let alone "legends." Yet THIS is the Beatles album that gets the highest ratings? Uh-uh!
For a "concept" record, Side Two of ABBEY ROAD is supreme, and that entire album has held up far better over time than this one. There's a darn good reason there were NO TOP 40 singles on SGT. PEPPER'S-- the trademark universal appeal these four guys previously had simply disappeared in a haze, like a bag of weed at a frat party.
Undoubtedly, a hundred years from now SGT. PEPPER'S will be considered an anomaly in the Beatles canon and not the Holy Grail of rock music. Holey pail, maybe.
Ground Breaking Rock.......2006-06-09
If "Sgt. Pepper" was released today, it would fail disastrously. Comparing this music to that released since 1967, it appears to be nothing special. Ah, but there is the rub. For those people who seem to think that umpteen other groups are better, they fail to remember that "Sgt. Pepper" is considered by PERFORMERS to be a ground breaking album that was influential in their careers. So, it is true that "Sgt. Pepper" is primarily great because of what it was when it was released, and how it influenced rock music. So when you see lists of rock albums, what is the title? If the title is greatest or most influential, then likely "Sgt. Pepper" will be in the top 10, and perhaps even #1.
What made this album influential? Partially it was underlying theme of the album. The album is not a concept album as such, but it began life as a concept album, and enough of the concept remained that the theme running through the album influenced other rockers to make unified concept albums. Another reason the album is influential is the experimentation the Beatles did. The transitions between songs, the sound effects, the unusual instruments and the speed variations between songs foreshadowed the coming of progressive rock.
This CD opens with the eponymous "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." The song combines a pseudo live performance with orchestral and rock instruments in one of the ground-breaking moments of rock. This song alone is probably one of the most influential songs of its era. The song serves as an introduction to the pop song "With a Little Help from My Friends," with Ringo taking a rare lead vocal and doing so marvelously.
The song that follows is one of the more controversial songs of the classic rock era. Many critics suggested the song was about drugs, but John Lennon and the other members of the Beatles suggested a more prosaic origin. John's son Julian Lennon showed his father a picture of a schoolmate named Lucy and told his father that the picture was "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Any association of the initials of the words Lucy Sky and Diamonds with LSD was purely coincidental. The imagery in the song, while psychedelic, was largely inspired by "Through the Looking Glass" and English children's shows. The song has maintained its popularity over the years and returned to the charts sung by Elton John and supported by John Lennon in the 70s.
"Getting Better" and "Fixing a Hole" are two relatively mundane songs for this album. While the songs are more typical of the Beatles' style prior to this album, they seem slightly out of place with many of the surrounding songs.
I consider "She's Leaving Home" to be a song much like "Yesterday." The song is elegant and understated, with beautiful harmonies and simple musical themes. The Beatles could be at their best with the mundane topics of everyday life, bringing a power to a situation that few others have managed. This song is one of the best songs on this CD.
The song "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" is clever and sinister. Multiple recordings of various instruments were cut and randomly spliced together to generate the sound effects heard prominently during the song, especially at the end. The song was intended to have a carnival feel, I think I am influenced by "Something Wicked this Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury, which this song always brings to my mind. The song is wonderfully experimental in its own way another of the ground-breaking moments on this album.
The song "Within You Without You" is technically not a Beatles song at all, as George Harrison recorded the song with a group of Indian musicians. The song is perfect for this album, in retrospect. I have always thought George Harrison's contributions, though fewer than Lennon and McCartney's helped influence the Beatles significantly.
The next three songs, "When I'm Sixty Four," "Lovely Rita," and "Good Morning, Good Morning," are like the pair of songs I noted earlier. Their style is more similar to earlier Beatles' music, though the use of clarinets on "When I'm Sixty Four" is extremely unusual for rock. Though the music is serviceable, the better songs on this album overshadow these.
After a reprise of the opening track, this album ends with "A Day in the Life," which is one of the best Beatles songs ever, and one of the best songs in rock music. The topic is very mature, the music well organized, and provided the perfect ending to one of the best albums in rock music.
As a side note, this album received four Grammy Awards in 1968, including album of the year, sandwiched between a Frank Sinatra album the year before, and a Glen Campbell album the year after. I believe this album was the first rock album to obtain a Grammy Award for album of the year.
There are numerous resources that explain the importance of this album in far greater detail than a 1000 word review will permit. I suggest those who continue to scoff at the importance of this album to review those resources. Everyone else is already aware of this album's greatness and significance. Enjoy!
CUTTING EDGE..........2006-04-24
This recording was on the cutting edge for its time, and it was a very definite, new direction for the Fab Four, as they seemed to want to shed their original mop haired image with all due speed. It was a psychedelic precursor of the youth revolution that was to come. Flower power was just around the corner, as was the so called psychedelic drug craze.
Some of the songs on this recording heralded the new era. The whimsical "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was the mantra for this movement, while the mournful refrains of "She's Leaving Home" illustrated the general disaffection of youth which was so prevalent at the time. "A Little Help From My Friends" was certainly the blueprint for getting along for many baby boomers during that era which this recording heralded.
For many reasons, this remains one of the most important and seminal recordings ever made, and no music collection should be without it.
Huh?.......2006-01-29
OK...Here goes...It's the greatest recording of all time. Buy it now.
