Beatles/Making of SGT.Pepper S & V

In the 60s, which were still an extension of the 50s and were progressing with a gradation of the times, there was still a sense that musicians’ livelihood was to perform on stage, and records were the recording media of the live performances. However, the members of The Beatles were tired of the crazy touring lifestyle that involved live performances and long-distance flights. As you know, they stopped performing on stage forever after their 1966 US tour. Although this is not uncommon in modern times, at the time it was unthinkable for musicians not to perform live. This is also one of The Beatles’ pioneering qualities. Freed from the crazy touring, The Beatles stayed in the studio and focused on recording without the premise of live performances. Although signs of this were evident from “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver,” this was the ultimate form of this. That was “Sgt. Pepper’s.” It wasn’t just a hiatus from live performances. There was no point in taking a break unless they made a record that brought together the best of the studio to pay the price. The completed album was released as a masterpiece of the century, more than making up for the loss of not having performed live. The concept of “Sgt. Pepper’s” was that the Beatles were a fictional band and performed a fictional live show. Therefore, “Sgt. Pepper’s” and “With a Little Help” are connected by cheers from the audience, and the ending of “Within You” is also accompanied by the audience’s murmurs, and cheers are also added to “Sgt. Reprise”, making it a format that truly imitates a fictional live show. Incidentally, “A Day in the Life” is intended to be an encore or curtain call. This was mainly Paul’s idea. This album became a hot topic from the moment it was released, and its musicality, which deviated greatly from the conventional concept of a rock album, sparked heated debate. The lyrics are printed on the sleeve, and some people seek to interpret them in depth (LSD is a symbolic example of this), Jimi Hendrix covered it live soon after its release, and when it was released on CD in 1987, only “Sgt. Pepper’s” was given a luxurious cover. From the time of its release to the present, it is clear that this album has been special for both us fans and the Beatles. [DVD] In 1992, exactly a quarter century after the release of Sgt. Pepper’s, a documentary was made that approaches the production process of the album “Sgt. Pepper’s”. This is not just a documentary, but a commentary using actual archived audio, in which George Martin reminisces while playing recording tapes from that time in the studio. A certain track is selected and an episode related to the song is revealed, making it a must-see for fans. In addition to George Martin, the cast also includes Paul, Ringo, and George, who were young in 1992, who each answer interviews about the album “Sgt. Pepper’s”. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was also very impressed by Rubber Soul. He had to make an album that would surpass it, and so he created Pet Sounds. However, the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s, which was even better, and Brian was completely blown away. This work also includes an interview with Brian Wilson. Although there have been anthologies since then and more than 25 years have passed since the broadcast, there is still no documentary that surpasses Sgt. Pepper’s. This work contains the best documentary of all time, “MAKING OF SGT. PEPPER”, in high quality. And what’s great is that it comes with Japanese subtitles, so even if you’re not fluent in English, you can understand the content. This is not for Japanese people, but just because Japanese subtitles give the best image quality. [CD] In the documentary “Making of Sgt. Pepper,” George Martin actually plays the separate instruments in front of the mixing desk, reminiscing about the recording, and gives an explanation of each song. The CD “Sgt. Pepper’s Multi Track Separate” is included as a perfect way to listen to each of these separate sounds. It is not the sound of the rock band game, but the leaked multi-tracks, each of which is recorded separately for four songs. This is the multi-track of “Sgt. Pepper’s,” which was suddenly leaked at the end of September 2007 and became a hot topic among enthusiasts both in Japan and abroad. It is the exact sound that George Martin played in the documentary. Despite its complexity, the album “Sgt. Pepper’s” was famously recorded using only four tracks. However, this release includes the four tracks of each of the four songs “Sgt. Pepper’s,” “With a Little Help,” “She’s Leaving Home,” and “A Day in the Life,” which are recorded in their original form before the final mixdown, for a total of 16 tracks (4×4). The track content for each song is as follows. “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” includes [1] cheers and crowd noises, [2] backing tracks, [3] lead and backing vocals, and [4] lead guitar and wind instruments. “With a Little Help From My Friends” includes [1] percussion, bass, and guitar, [2] backing tracks, [3] lead and backing vocals, and organ, and [4] backing vocals and guitar. “She’s Leaving Home” includes [1] Strings #1 [2] Strings #2 [3] Lead & Back Vocals [4] Harmony & Back Vocals. “A Day In The Life” includes [1] Piano & Lead Vocals [2] Guitar & Tambourine [3] Piano & Orchestra [4] Bass & Drums. At the end of each song, a mixed version of the four tracks is included. Bonus tracks include “Billy Sears’s transition cheers,” “Mr. Kite’s sound effects,” “When I’m 64’s bass line and vocals,” “Good Morning Good Morning’s animal sounds,” “A Day In The Life’s orchestra,” and “A Day In The Life’s piano.” Finally, “Shakespeare’s reading of King Lear,” which was used as a sound effect for “I Am The Walrus,” is included. [MAKING OF SGT. PEPPER] Half a century has passed since the release of “Sgt. Pepper’s.” The Beatles’ members have been halved, and Paul, who directed the production, is already a senior citizen. However, the album “Sgt. Pepper’s” has a special presence that shines even more with the times, far from fading with the times. I remember that the commentary on the flag belt analog record said something like, “Musical progress has completely stopped here. There will never be anything better than this in the future.” That may be an exaggeration, but in any case, there is no doubt that “Sgt. Pepper’s” is a masterpiece of the century and one of the greatest works of art created by humanity. The production process of this masterpiece is told in the words of the Beatles members themselves, except for John, and producer George Martin gives commentary while playing the actual recording tape, making it a truly historical documentary. Moreover, this work is subtitled in Japanese. AUDIO DISC SGT. PEPPER’S MULTI TRACKS SEPARATED SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND 01. Applause and crowd noise 02. Backing track 03.
