Product Description |
|
The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

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 Altman |

All-Time Best Album |
If I could only pick one alubm to have for the rest of my life, it'd be this one. It's amazing. I'm glad that the Beatles and George Martin left it like this and didn't change anything. It's perfect as is. It starts with the title track (a great rocker)and then blends into,maybe, the most famous anthem of friendship ("With A Little Help From My Friends"). Next is "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" which is said to be about a picture paited by a 4 year-old Julian Lennon. Many people also rumor that it's about LSD. I don't know which is true, but it's still a great song. "Getting Better" is a funny one, thanks to John's sarcastic back up vocals. "Fixing a Hole" is whimsical. "She's Leaving Home" has a poor string arrangment, but it amoung the Beatles's best work thanks to some of the best, sad Lennon/McCartney lyrics ever. "Mr. Kite" is sort of a spooky song, but is also a fun one. "Within You, Without You" is probably the weakest track here. I still like it,however, because of it's lyrics. It sounds really great when it is blended in with Lennon's "Tommorrow Never Knows" on the Love soundtrack. "I'm I'm Sixty-Four" is just a pleasant love diddy with a music hall sound. I love that song. "Lovely Rita" is one of Paul's best rhyming songs (next to Maxwell's Silver Hammer). It also has great music. "Good Morning," is the most sarcastic track by the Beatles, which has John poking fun at average English life. There is then a brief reprise of the title track and then the strongest song on the album, and almost the strongest song by the Beatles (next to "In My Life"). "A Day In The Life" has great music, lonley vocals, and spine-tingling lyrics. It's the grandest finale. Ever.
Many people say that this one goes to Paul. Although, Paul did the majority of the writing, I really think him and John were working hard together for this. But, it's not so much the songs that make this album great. It's how well the songs go together. So, I think this one goes to George Martin.
The only way this album could be improved is if they had included the singles "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" on it. That's the best double A-side single ever. This is a fantastic album. |

Disappointed |
Received in good condition and quite promptly with no glitches on the disc.
I found the sound of the remastered CD to be surprisingly poor in light of the bright '#1s' and 'Yellow Submarine Songtrack' mixes of recent years. Though more bassey and the vocals more to th fore, the sound otherwise was almost muddy and required significant equalization on my part.
My 'Nero' ripped and sound-enhanced copy proved more crystelline and definitive.
The video add-on was stylishly produced though too short and insubstantial to be worth further discussion.
The CD outlay itself however is well designed and quite informative.
