Sgt.Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band

Its release has been described as concept album, means the songs cumulatively tell a story. Julian Lennon's classmate Lucy, the traffic warden Rita, The Guinness heir who died in a car accident. Also it contains the drug experience of the Beatles.

Sgt.Pepper is the one my all-time favourite record. "A day in the life", "With a little help from my friends", "Being for Benefit of Mr.Kite", "Within you without you"....They are so good! What more can I say??

 

Here are the info of the songs

Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Rock song! Four French horn players, Paul as a lead vocal. The song inspired the concept of the album. .

With a little help from my friends

Written by John and Paul for Ringo. It was completed the next day after the Beatles had spent the evening shooting the photographs for the sleeve of the album.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Inspired from a painting by John's son Julian Lennon. That song carryied imaginative lyrics. The basic track, overdubs and mixing gave that song an ethereal quality.

She's leaving home

Great ballad by Paul Mccartney. Paul's lead vocal the only other Beatle present is John, who joins Paul for occasional backing.

Being for the benefit of Mr.Kite!

It's cool! The lyric inspired from an antique poster advertising a circus.

Within you Without you

Written by George. An indian style song. No other Beatles participated and that song was the album's last song to be completed.

Good morning Good morning

John Lennon song inspired by a television commercial for cornflakes. It ends with aanimal sound effects from EMI.

A day in the life

My favourite song all time! John's song with a help from Paul. It inspired from Daily Mail newspaper. "I read the news today, oh boy...".
