The Story Behind Sgt. Pepper's in the words of The Beatles | In Their Own Words 

Congratulations, I wish you well.

Totally agree! I'm so grateful for this RU-vid platform & what it has enabled. Practically any subject, it's here. And it's so f'ing wonderful that we get to go over our past with just a click. Much gratitude for all involved in making the great vids here, particularly about The Beatles, of course. Cheers.

I gave your comment its hundredth like! I deserve credit for this!

I absolutely agree. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Me too !!! I have most of their music and videos !! And every day something new comes out !! They never stop making money !!

Same age. 1st record I bought with paper route money!

That was my exact age when I got into the Beatles in 1981. I really got into playing guitar and everything changed in a great way. (and I was already a happy kid before then)

I don’t think an 8 yo could possibly understand this album. I’m keeping my niece away from great albums until she can appreciate it. The sad thing about the Beatles is their music gets played to death before a person is old enough to understand it.

@@MichaelStefano-k3b Found the troll! They make other bizarre comments that have nothing to do with reality as well on these threads

@@SST4SSG we are talking about a masterpiece. I apologize if I upset you. If you disagree with me, explain why. Calling me names and delusional is kind of rude when I’m just saying an 8 year old can’t fully appreciate the aesthetic of this masterpiece.

I'm 59 and I bought Sgt, Pepper's when I was 3 years old. This makes me a bigger fan than you

@JimMcilhenny-hn5ft How old were you when Sgt Pepper came out?

i'm 65 TOO! paul is incorrect when he says the words "turn on" was never used in a song before. the beatles, themselves, used the phrase 2 years before in the song "she's a woman." the difference is the context. in "she's a woman" it's a sexual reference and in "a day in the life" its a drug reference. "sgt pepper" is one of those albums that i loved when i first bought it. by the mid-70s it seemed rather dated and fell out of favor. i still liked it just not as much as i did before. it wasn't too long, though. before i reappraised it again and fell in love with it all over again. the beatles never really released a bad single or a bad album. my least liked beatles single is "from me to you." but the b-side has one of my favorite early beatles songs "thank you girl." "the beatles for sale" is my least liked beatles album but i always loved the cover partly because its the ONE COVER never used on any u.s./capitol album release. also the album contained some of their best covers. and, with "mr. moonlight," one of their worst recordings EVER!

👍👏👏👏👏🤜🤛

Young folks admonish us for not keeping our memorabilia pristine… we had no idea what memorabilia was…. They have no idea what a thrill is was to play with one’s toys…. Yes! I cut out the mustache, too!!❤😂🎉

Nice

@@Heene1028 Oh here we go, yet another boomer playing Blame The Millennials for your own mistakes.

It was the first album to include the lyrics.

@@DannoFromMpls REALLY....I didnt know that...Thanks

Record company did not like putting lyrics on it cuz there was money to be made selling sheet music; I used to buy single sheet of one song and books with complete album lyrics, notes, etc! Beatles insisted on putting words on album; thanks boys!

I agree Sergio, SP, followed by Abbey Rd. Saludos from Boquete, Panama

Yes, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” “Within You, Without You.” “Eleanor Rigby.”

BS. The album was universally praised. The real problem is people like you always trying to stir up controversy with your stupid conspiracy theories.

Pause a moment to think that their pool of compositions was so rich, so bubbling over with greatness that they would not overlap singles with albums. Who else did that? No one.

Beatles underrated? What are you talking about? They're the most popular band ever

The Beatles were never underrated. They are universally recognized as the best band ever from the early 1960's to 2024 and possibly till the Second Coming.

​@@strangebrew1231you beat me to it. There's always some clown that writes everyone and everything is underrated. The Beatles are underrated Lady Gaga is underrated God is underrated Ice cream is underrated Sex is underrated. Etc

he's in his grampa mccartney phase

​@@davidevans3227lololol

Did you know that Billy Pepper was the man that filled in for Paul. He had a band called Billy Pepper and the Pepper Pots.....I'll bet anyone 50,000 dollars that Paul was not in the band

@@arlen1630 ...idiotic!

Very well played... if my birthday arithmetic works out... 114 is incredible.

What!? That makes you over 110.

He's a vampire 😮

Bullshit

Ja I am He. Hari Hari Krishna Lama

They were the best in my days plus don't forget the stones an then came ccr

Just a day in the life alone makes listening to the album a must

@@spacerockwizard only contrarians say that. I don’t think they even believe it’s overrated.

Yep ! They stand in the line of Bach - Beethoven - Brahms - Bruckner - Berg - Beatles !

@@Spookycat689 Always dug when Dead did Beatles tunes in concert

Which songs would you have dropped to make room?

I was 14 as well..what an amazing time to be young and having the Beatles leading the way

Don’t forgot. Mr Martian

Rest In Pieces Paul and Ringo.

Shut up mate

That's because it's not.

It was supposed to be a concept album originally but that was quickly abandoned.

Best album of all time.

Yes it is. ​@@michaelhardin470

I was 12

This is great😊 Have you watched the series "Understanding Lennon/McCartney" ?? If not, you HAVE to check it out 😊 I promise you will love them. They're the best documentaries on the Beatles ever, hands down.

@@BeatlesFan1975 Thanks. I will take a look when I have a few minutes to do so.

This is insane. I’ve never heard this before and had to go look at Paul’s uniform on the album. Sure enough, an OPP badge on his left shoulder. Had no clue. But as a Canadian this is a really cool Easter egg. Thank you!!

😂😂😂😂....God only knows what would've happen to the beach boys if The Beatles hadn't exist.

@@JuanLopez-ef5prI couldn’t agree more.

Rubber Soul inspired Pet Sounds which inspired Revolver which inspired Smile which inspired Pepper. Pepper came out first and Brian shelved his album for years.

Aloha. I'm 46, love LSD and Sgt. Pepper🤙🏼

That would make you about 115 . You are doing well :)

Your father was right!

Revolver is their best

A wise man

Your father was right!

Your dad had exquisite taste and so do you and many people ❤

He may have subconsciously recalled a Catholic story that teaches kids about charity. A monk is strictly prohibited to let anyone in from the storm as marauders were rampant. A beggar under a torn blanket touches his heart and breaking the rule he lets him in to warm up and gives him food and water. The beggar sheds the rag and Is revealed as Jesus. Paul is more like "Just in case".

Billy's here have you guessed

Arriba Jalisco!!
