Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: 50th Anniversary Edition is an expanded reissue of the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 26 May 2017, the album's 50th anniversary. It includes a new stereo remix of the album by Giles Martin, the son of Beatles producer George Martin.

Contents

The release was accompanied by the Apple Corps documentary Sgt. Pepper's Musical Revolution, televised on the BBC, PBS and Arte. Promotion included billboards posted in major cities around the world. The reissue garnered critical acclaim and topped the UK Albums Chart.

Background and content

The first CD contains a new stereo remix of Sgt. Pepper produced by Giles Martin, the son of Beatles producer George Martin. He said that he began working on the mix in December 2016 with engineer Sam Okell, who had similarly been involved in other Beatles legacy-related projects. [1] Created using modern and vintage technology, the 2017 mix retains more of the idiosyncrasies that were unique to the original mono version of Sgt. Pepper. Unlike the original album, first-generation tapes were used rather than their subsequent mixdowns, resulting in a clearer and more spacious sound. [2]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: 50th Anniversary Edition is available as a two-disc set and as a six-disc box set. The first of these offers alternate takes of the album's songs and of the non-album single tracks "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane". The six-disc Super Deluxe Edition includes four CDs and adds further studio outtakes, monaural mixes, a documentary, and 5.1 surround sound mixes of the album in both DVD and Blu-ray form. [3] Among these features is George Martin's 1992 TV documentary The Making of Sgt. Pepper. Also included in the Super Deluxe version is a book containing liner notes for the recordings, and essays discussing subjects such as psychedelic culture, 1960s politics, and the atmosphere in the Beatles following their decision to retire from live performance in late 1966 and focus on the recording studio. [4]

Preview and promotion

The Beatles' company Apple Corps and Universal Music hosted a preview of the new stereo mix on 10 April 2017. The event was held in Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios (formerly EMI Studios), the room where the Beatles recorded most of Sgt. Pepper, and was attended by around 100 journalists. [5]

Apple also produced a documentary to accompany the release, titled Sgt. Pepper's Musical Revolution. Written and presented by Howard Goodall, it was televised on the BBC, PBS and Arte to commemorate the anniversary. [6] The occasion was also celebrated with posters, billboards and other decorations at notable locations around the world, including a billboard in New York's Times Square. [7]

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary, Geoff Edgers of The Washington Post interviewed Richard Goldstein, who, in his initial review of Sgt. Pepper for The New York Times , had been one of the few dissenters when the album received unprecedented critical acclaim in 1967. Edgers revealed that the left-hand speaker that Goldstein had originally heard the record through was broken. After listening to the album again, Goldstein acknowledged that the faulty speaker would have affected his listening experience 50 years before, but he stood by his general assessment of the album. [8] The NME celebrated the 2017 reissue with a poll that asked its readers to name their favourite Beatle. George Harrison was voted in first place, ahead of John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. [9]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: 50th Anniversary Edition topped the UK Albums Chart, [21] and albums charts in Scotland and Belgium. In the United States, it peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200. [22] On Metacritic, the reissue holds a score of 100 out of 100, based on thirteen professional reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [10]

Several critics praised Martin's new stereo mix. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph commented: "It is like seeing a favourite movie again in high definition. It doesn't replace the original, it enhances it." [12] Rolling Stone 's Mikal Gilmore described the effect as a "long overdue epiphany", since "Popular music's most elaborate and intricate creation – and one that helped end the mono era – wasn't made to be heard in stereo." [19] Danny Eccleston of Mojo also approved of Martin's work, especially the presence afforded Ringo Starr's drums. He added: "The voices feel 'properly' balanced and positioned. And in general, where there was whimsy (the bête noire of most Pepper agnostics) the power of solid drums and central voices irons it out." [15]

In his review for Uncut , Michael Bonner said that "The Beatles never worked with such unified purpose again, but what this Pepper boxset captures is the fun, intense, playful ferment; the triumph, in other words." [20] David Quantick, reviewing for Classic Rock , wrote: "Purists may balk at some of the perceived liberties Giles Martin has taken (splitting and panning drum parts or backing vocals for starters), but he's by no means claiming this is the definitive version of the album, and has clearly acted in the interests of the material." [11]

<i>Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band</i> 1967 studio album by the Beatles

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967, Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music. The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment. Critics lauded the album for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds</span> 1967 song by The Beatles

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was written primarily by John Lennon with assistance from Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership. Lennon's son Julian inspired the song with a nursery school drawing that he called "Lucy – in the sky with diamonds". Shortly before the album's release, speculation arose that the first letter of each of the nouns in the title intentionally spelled "LSD", the initialism commonly used for the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide. Lennon repeatedly denied that he had intended it as a drug song, and attributed the song's fantastical imagery to his reading of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books.

<i>Yellow Submarine Songtrack</i> 1999 soundtrack album by the Beatles

Yellow Submarine Songtrack is a compilation/soundtrack album by the English rock band the Beatles, released in 1999 to coincide with a re-release of the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine that same year. The film was re-released on 13 September 1999 in the United Kingdom and the following day in the United States. In contrast with other Beatles remasters available, the songs were fully remixed by Peter Cobbin at Abbey Road Studios from the original multitrack tapes, something not done for the original CD release of the Beatles catalogue in the late 1980s, nor the 2009 remastered albums.

The recordings made by the Beatles, a rock group from Liverpool, England, from their inception as the Quarrymen in 1957 to their break-up in 1970 and the reunion of their surviving members in the mid-1990s, have huge cultural and historical value. The studio session tapes are kept at Abbey Road Studios, formerly known as "EMI Recording Studios," where the Beatles recorded most of their music. While most have never been officially released, their outtakes and demos are seen by fans as collectables, and some of the recordings have appeared on countless bootlegs. The only outtakes and demos to be officially released were on The Beatles Anthology series and its tie-in singles and anniversary editions of their studio albums. Bits of some previously unreleased studio recordings were used in The Beatles: Rock Band video game as ambient noise and to give songs studio-sounding beginnings and endings. In 2013, Apple Records released the album The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963, which includes previously unreleased outtakes and demos from 1963, to stop the recordings from falling into the public domain.
