Quoted from The End

By the way - I think by including "Sgt Pepper reprise" you are going to split the votes for that song.


It's a completely separately recorded song, different lyrics, different tempo, so I think it deserves to be there in it's own right. As it stands, if they were combined it would still be one of the lowest scoring songs.

Of course, we could always have a 'my Dad's bigger than your Dad' fight outside over it!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

They're each so different, though. And 'Reprise' rips! Hmm...

OK, time to bite down and just do it...

1. 'Lovely Rita' - So glad to see others putting this one forward. Upon its release I considered it banal. What did I know?

2. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)' - As brief as it is, it rocks the house down. I would've loved a full album like that.

3. 'A Day In The Life' - Overly praised in general, I think, but you've got to give it up for its originality and emotional impact.

Least Fave: 'Good Morning, Good Morning' - Overly maligned in my opinion (great guitar solo in there), but the weakest track on the album nonetheless.

Ow. My brain hurts.

Can you check whether we feel this statement is true?

Quoted Text

Martin is perhaps best known for his work on "Sgt. Pepper" 40 years ago. The album, like other Beatle records, was arranged to have the best songs on the first side to better grab an audience and boost sales, writes Martin in "With a Little Help From My Friends: The Making of Sgt. Pepper,"

I've never heard that before. I must have seen countless interviews with Martin on the subject of Sgt. Pepper, and never heard him say anything of the kind. Where did you get the quote?

Opening strong makes sense. And in the days of vinyl there were a few albums (not just by The Beatles) whose side 2 rarely saw the light of day. I think it would have been a bit of an industry given, rather than some strategy engineered by Mr Martin.

Most albums have their best stuff at the beginning, with a couple of good songs near the end just to  reclaim your attention. Sgt. Pepper's no different. I've still never heard anyone admit that they did it though.
