Pepper's Musical Revolution with Howard Goodall"), as both Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were originally intended for the Sgt. Pepper album. Well worth catching on BBC iPlayer.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-11372932081998029282017-06-08T21:19:54.526+01:002017-06-08T21:19:54.526+01:00The best anecdote about engineering the Beatles...The best anecdote about engineering the Beatles' work is how the late Sir George Martin spliced together two takes of Strawberry Fields recorded at different tempos and in different keys. I'm sure you will find it on the same fansite I referred to in my earlier comment.Zouk Delorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983226210415857258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-74355203486050812852017-06-08T20:51:33.542+01:002017-06-08T20:51:33.542+01:00Dave,

Actually, I was never really a huge fan. However, over the years I have certainly come to see (?!) their music in a different light. Probably an inner one. Anyway, whichever way we look at the Cultural phenomenon they undoubtedly were, the programme on BBC4 last Saturday night about the album was wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to a musician talking about the album and, along the way,teaching any half-interested party about music. It made me think about the album in a different way. Still, as Sir Paul said today, fancy Sgt Pepper being number 1 again 50 years on!<br /><br />Just for the record, my favourite Fabs album is usually Let It Be but sometimes I go for Rubber Soul.

I offer you Alternative Facts...<br /><br />Funny, like so many of those on that forum, I could swear I've *heard* Lennon saying that. In fact, I can hear him saying it now (shh, he's in the next room). As I quoted recently (from "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"): "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend"....<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-32141977777837945322017-06-02T18:53:48.752+01:002017-06-02T18:53:48.752+01:00https://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/rin...https://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/john-lennon/ringo-isnt-even-the-best-drummer-in-the-band/Zouk Delorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983226210415857258noreply@blogger.com
