Sgt. Pepper was a landmark album not only because the songs were great put the production techniques were (for time) groundbreaking. this may not have been case if it was not for an album released a year sounds earlier by…..

The Beach Boys called Pet Sounds …..

Beatles producer Mr. George Martin has said quote: without Pet Sounds there would have been no Sgt. Pepper.

Paul McCartney has said in umpteen interviews that Pet Sounds was his main inspiration for making Sgt. Pepper…he say’s quote: “Pet Sounds flipped me out…it’s still one of my all time favorite albums of all time…I play it for my kids and they love….it was a big thing for me in 1966..i thought this is the best album of all time…what are the beatles going to do?……(I wonder what John Lennon thought about Pet Sounds..ya never read about that)…anyway…so with all that said… let’s give a listen to the album that inspired to Beatles Sgt. Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Band…the Beach Boys pet sounds.

the beach boys – wouldn’t it be nice – pet sounds mono
the boys boys – you still believe in me – pet sounds – stereo
the beach boys – god only knows – pet sounds – mono
the beach boys – caroline no – pets sounds - stereo

10 O'Clock Sgt. Pepper Hour

---

The Beatles ninth official album release.

This album sold a quarter of a million copies in Britain in its first week of release, and by the end of June had topped 500,000 sales. But it didn't sell its One-Millionth copy until April 1973, some 6 years later.

The Beatles insisted that the album be issued identically worldwide, so for the first time Capitol in America fell into line and didn't split tracks over different L.P.'s

It was the first to have the lyrics printed on the sleeve & the first to have the inner sleeve decorated in a design………

A Day In The Life
Lennon-McCartney

The Run Out Groove Recorded 21st April 1967, firstly, the endless nonsense for the run-out groove, Then BETWEEN the final fade of "A Day In The Life" and "The Nonsense", a high-pitch whistle audible only to dogs was inserted. This was pitched at 15 kilocycles. On the C.D. version, "The Nonsense" lasts 22 seconds and FADES!

Mono/Stereo Differences

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
The mono version has a more prominent guitar towards the end, which is barely audible on the stereo version.

"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
The vocal has a noticeable echo on the mono version, which is not there on the stereo version. This gives the mono version a dreamier quality.

"She's Leaving Home"
The stereo version is slower than the mono version, which sounds much faster.

"Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)"
On the mono version the audience sounds begin more sharply, the drum intro is 4 drumbeats longer, and there are some words spoken by John and some audience laughter ALL of which are missing from the stereo mix.
Paul speaks at the end, but it can barely be heard on the stereo version, but ...
The transition from "Good Morning" is not as smooth on the mono release.

Re-pressings of the L.P. do NOT include the High-frequency tone or the nonsense, but the 1987 CD does have both.

after the release of sgt. pepper june 1st the musical climate in both the UK and US (and all over the world for that matter) changed drastically…it was coined the summer of love which I believe is the only time a summer has ever been named….it was a great time for music and a lot of the credit goes to the beatles sgt. pepper…so I though we would take a listen to the music from the summer of love…1967…including john lennons favorite song of the summer of `67..procal harum’s “a whiter shade of pale”…but before that let’s get to the single that followed sgt .pepper on july 7th 1967 what some call the anthem of the summer of love hear are the beatles:
