Is Paul still dead?
A landmark album amongst their many landmark albums.
And 40 for Star Wars. A couple buds of mine did this:
Incredible amount of work (5 years)
^^ Bravo! Great work.
Eh, they been going in and out of style.
Hah! nice track, I would love to see it with stop motion lego star wars characters and visual gag liberties.
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile!
(Couldn't resist the bait.)
The Beatles were the first band I got into. Which made it a bit of an unbeatable benchmark for everything that followed really.
I'm a complete Beatles nerd, and was having a 'biggest Beatles nerd' contest with our drummer, which he won by mentioning he grew up in a house on Penny Lane.
I get it that music is subjectively appreciated by the listener, but if there is ever an objective argument of superiority in pop music, the Beatles have to be at the top of the list. Stripping away all of the cultural web that surrounds them, I listen to the compositions and the arrangements and I'm still blown away.
The original Paul or his replacement?
Yeah, they were not just strapping young lads. I'm still most impressed with the song arrangements and chord progressions from the early era, through Help!

The original blew his mind out in a car. I meant Billy Campbell. How else could we explain 'The Frog Chorus'.
To me it's incredibly inspirational knowing they made Sgt. Pepper with just two Studer J-37 Four Track machines. The 50th Anniversary reissue features a new remix by Giles Martin using all the pre bounce session tapes, and while I can't wait to hear those mixes, the original mixes that were built on submix after submix will always be the definitive versions.
Each bounce was carefully crafted to sound as close to what they wanted when really they didn't know 100% what they wanted! So if a bounce took a bit away from say a piano part they might add a guitar part to accentuate it while another instrument was being layed down. Talk about mixing as you go. To me it's a lesson in making a creative decision and sticking to it.
Today's music (hell, my music, & unless you're cutting to tape, yours too) is created in a liquid environment where anything can be changed, second guessed and "left until the mix". Those hundreds of potential choices can bottleneck the creative flow of sound recording since very little is ever permanently decided upon.
If I take anything from the great work done by George Martin, Geoff Emerick and the Beatles it's to experiment yes, but also to commit to a creative decision and let the dominoes fall as they will.
There's a mild backlash against the Beatles by every new generation (going to Jr. High in the early '90's NO ONE dug the Beatles and I was routinely mocked for my enthusiasm for them), but it seems many Millennials get why we're still in awe and talking about them half a century later.
If you've never sat with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and listened front to back on headphones you should do it. And if you really want to trip listen to the mono version (the version the Beatles actually attended the mixing for) to hear how spacious they could make a mono mix sound.
It's the relative ease they seemed to have in creating musical masterpieces that always surprises me. I've got thousands of demo bootlegs, and you can hear the magic in the first few strums of a new song. In some cases I prefer the demo's, Julia in particular is a beautiful thing.
Less than ten years together and all those amazing songs, and hardly a dud amongst them.
Funnily enough though Sgt Pepper is one of my least favourite albums from that period - I much prefer the straddling Revolver and 'White' albums.
Favourite Beatle track - 'You know my name (look up the number)', coincidentally one of Macca's favourites too.
Strawberry Fields Forever
They did the whole album front to back - mirrored to the sequence of the movie. Its actually pretty epic. Dan - the guitarist and main vocalist is a HUGE Beatles fan.
OMG, I see what you mean. That is epic!
Doubleplus
Isn't it 70 years?
Yes.
Except it isn't.
120 years to the day that Mister Stoker's Dracula was first published. A cultural event that also continues...
That is a lovely track. It's difficult to decide on a favourite really as they're all so good.
I've got a couple of CD's somewhere with some of the takes of that, there were absolutely loads and George Martin ended up splicing two together.
Agreed.
BTW, as you're a big Fab Four fan, I wonder if you've ever come across a sound-alike act called The Pleasers? A late 70's band who managed to write some brilliant pop songs, which I'd rate as being in the same league as early Beatles. Check this one out, for example.

The name rings a bell - think I may have seen them live in my teens, I'll check them out thanks.
A few years back I went to see a Beatles tribute band in a pub in Devon. As a Beatle head, I was dreading it, thinking I'd be cringing at the awfulness of it all. I was completely wrong, they were absolutely brilliant - close you eyes and you could really believe you were at a gig with the real thing, plus they tackled later stuff that wasn't designed for live performance.
Best bit though was when the gig ended. The pub punters wandered off to get last orders in, and meanwhile the band necked a few beers and had a jam amongst themselves. It was all their own stuff, but it sounded just like the Beatles. It was magical, like witnessing a lost Beatle session. It wasn't a performance as I was the only one bothering to listen, but they were having a whale of a time and 'John', cackling away while hammering at the piano was a real double take.

There are a few acts like this;
T-Rextacy (as near to Mark Bolan in looks and sound as humanly possible)
Fleetwood Bac (unbelievably accurate)
Talon (as if the Eagles were there)
This also describes The Pleasers. They did okay, back in the day, and still perform occasionally. But they suffered from being the right act at the wrong time.
Very cool!
Sgt. Pepper was my first album ever. I had no idea what I was buying...
And now here I am all different.
There's a really good (IMO) tribute album to SGT. Peppers by Cheap Trick. Released in 2009. Geoff Emerick mixed and co- produced.
Can't believe this is 10 years old, but GREAT special if you haven't seen it :
