Penny Lane/SF on Sgt Pepper
« on: March 03, 2005, 09:04:07 AM »

Just been reading about G Martin saying the Penny Lane/SFFE single being the biggest mistake of his career.
So, what if it hadn't been released as a single and they were on Sgt Pepper. Where would you put them, and what would you drop?
I would love to drop Within you Without You, but the album has to have a George song, so no. But I'd drop Good Morning and put Penny Lane as the opener for side two, to give it a more upbeat start.
Drop Fixing a Hole and slot SFFE on side 1 between She's Leaving Home and Mr Kite?
Any thoughts?

Wow! Almost the same, except we've inverted Penny lane/Within You...
What about when I'm 64? Your a brave man to drop it.

The reason I dropped nothing is because nothing really needs to be dropped, not to mention Abbey Road had more tracks than that.  The Reprise also leads into A Day In The Life, ditto for the first two tracks, so you basically have 14 right there with the single.

^I can't be bothered adding the times up, but would they physically fit. And would they have wanted so many tracks?

Frightwolf, I think the point is that you have too much to fit on a vinyl album.

I gotcha now.  I was thinking in terms of the CD, and in that case, that would be it.  *goes back to drawing board to figure out how to fit this on a vinyl*

k, I would probably remove WYWY and Good Morning Good Morning, Penny Lane closes Side A, and make Lovely Rita the opener to Side B.  Better :)

I'd go with a DOUBLE LP, an idea they toyed with originally. Here are the tracks to go on the album.

All the tracks on the issued album, PLUS ...

Only A Northern Song (was to go on the album, until George surfaced with Within You)
SFF
Penny Lane
All Together Now
It's All Too Much
Baby You're A Rich Man
You Know My Name (imo, this fits right into the Pepper groove)

If you use the full eight-minute version of Too Much, and a full length You Know My Name, this is another album's worth of material. All songs were recorded first during Pepper sessions, or straight after.

Just think what a mind-blower of an album THAT would be. Choose your own running order.

Who's gonna tell George "sorry mate, no song of yours on this album"? I would drop it to, but i don't think politics would allow it. Don't want Mr Harrison walking out
Totally with you on Good Morning. :)

Good point, but we're asking where I would put them ;).  And we let George not have a song on his Rooftop Gig, so he'll forgive us... hopefully  ;D

I wish you'd had a go. I'd like to see what you come up with.

anyone got any thoughts on putting Rain/Paperback Writer on Revolver?
Normal rules, at least one George and 1 Ringo song, fair mix of John and Paul.
Sorry if I'm going on, but I love this kind of sh*t.
(and I don't think we've done the single White Album properly either :P

OK, here we go:

DISK ONE
Side 1 As commercial version
Side 2
Baby You're A Rich Man
You Know My Name
All Together Now
Only A Northern Song
DISK TWO
Side 3
SFF
Penny Lane
It's All Too Much
Side 4 As commercial version

I know Sides 2 and 3 only total about 30 minutes, but there's some pretty heavy listening there.

This double strikes me as being MUCH MORE psychedelic than the single Pepper album! Time to burn it - it would fit on one CD!

^Phew. It's a lot to take in. Side 3 does look a bit thin, but your right, the ears will know better than the eyes.

Oh, that's easy.  I'd get rid of Good Day Sunshine and Love You To.

Taxman
Eleanor Rigby
I'm Only Sleeping
Here There and Everywhere
She Said She Said
Yellow Submarine
Rain


And Your Bird Can Sing
For No One
Doctor Robert
Paperback Writer
I Want To Tell You
Got To Get You Into My Life
Tomorrow Never Knows

I'd make Rain close off, but really, SSSS wouldn't be a bad way to close off Side 1 itself =P.  I'd put PW between Doctor robert and I Want To Tell You, so we cycle John/Paul/John/Paul/George/Paul/John, and it varies.  And Your Bird Can Sing is a better opener to side 2 than Good Day Sunshine anyway.  How's that? :)

Get rid of nothing. P Writer and Rain would still fit on a vinyl album, with all 14 original Revolver songs.

Hey kev - how about a separate thread for a Revolver remake? Could get pretty confusing ...
