- The Beatles‘ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which Rolling Stone named the best album of all time, turns 57 this year. In honor of the anniversary, we have presented a video with interviews of the members of the Beatles talking about this masterpiece that explore the background of this revolutionary and beloved record.
I will NEVER get tired of watching documentaries about the greatest,influential rock and roll band of all time discussing how the concept of recording the most influential album in the history of music EVER made.I could listen and watch this all day.God bless JOHN LENNON,PAUL MCCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON, RINGO STARR and of course,the "fifth" beatle,GEORGE MARTIN.
Totally agree! I'm so grateful for this UA-cam 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 was born in 1969.
Upon “discovering” the album as an 8 year old adolescent, Sgt. Pepper’s became absolutely everything for me. ❤️🔥💖❤️🔥
Same age. 1st record I bought with paper route money!
When I got my first copy the LP cover opened up and it came with a cardboard mustache and badges.
I got a second copy so I could cut out the inner picture of them and hang it on my wall. I actually went to school with one of the badges pinned to my shirt, no one knew what it was. I was such a geek.
👍👏👏👏👏🤜🤛
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!!❤😂🎉
A COOL GEEK Thu My Man - With A Cool Story & No Doubt Ya Were More Popular When Ye Had Your Vinyl Collection Eh - 👍 😎 -🎸🎶 - ✌ From 🏴
I love hearing how the Beatles tell their own stories of what happened when they were recording all their albums and their music in their lives it’s great stuff. sergeant Pepper is definitely one of the greatest albums ever one of all the Beatles albums I think every Beatles album is fantastic.
These guys, they were very underrated. Now Paul is such a sweet man with such an upbeat attitude. He’s the a sunshine man. And glad that Ringo is still with us. Big big influence. Thanks boys
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
My dad was 16 when this came out. For the next 20 years he insisted that this was the greatest album ever made. He played it all most every single day of my childhood. Sometimes he played Magical Mystery Tour but mostly Sgt Pepper.
Your father was right!
Revolver is their best
What I loved about SGT.PEPPERS is that the complete lyrics are in the album...I know them BY HEART.....
It was the first album to include the lyrics.
@@DannoFromMpls REALLY....I didnt know that...Thanks
Beatles music will live forever.
Excellent film, as always.
My favourite band of all, the Beatles. 👍🏻💯
My Favorite Beatles Album!!!
Im 65..I my house I grew up hearing the BEATLES...I have 1960s records of them...For me SGT. PEPPERS is #1 record in quality, sound, innovation, etc......By the way #2 is ABBEY ROAD.....Saludos from Costa Rica
¡Saludos de Ohio, compadre!
The production values tied all the music together beautifully.
Excellent! Thank you for this documentary that preserves the history behind this brilliant one-of-a-kind concept album by The Beatles. Brilliant how you can actually hear the concepts for the project and various stages of some songs take form. Thank you.
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.
✌️❤️RIP John and George
Don’t forgot. Mr Martian
Rest In Pieces Paul and Ringo.
The most influential album of ALL TIME IMHO. I grew up with the Beatles (my teen years). Ringo has aklways been my hero, and the reason I learnt drums and played semi-proffessionally for 17 years.
I was 9 yrs. old when Pepper came out. To be honest, I had no idea for years that it was a concept album. Like John said, except for the Billy Shears intro thing, and the reprise, the rest of the songs were unrelated and could’ve been on any Beatles album. Of course, that’s not to say I didn’t think it was great. 😊
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.
Will never forget listening to it when it was released
Influential, 100%. Historical, absolutely. Does it hold up...I can't say yes. This album is their best.
I was 14 when this came out. I still know all the words. ❤ 😄
As it is today, the media was always looking for a negative spin to put on the Beatles. Sgt. Pepper's left them scratching their collective heads. The album was released in June of 1967 before the Summer of Love. So many firsts were achieved. First album with printed lyrics was only one example. An entire generation was mesmerized by the content.
Anyone here, hears, when "Good Morning" is fading out and the "Reprise" about to start, Paul counting from 1 to 4 and a little voice from Lennon, way in the back mocking, saying "fiive"?
That took me by surprise the first time I was listening the "Pepper", the Mono version, the very first time that album came out in Mexico, around 1968.
John actually says ‘bye’. I’ve heard that part of the song with John’s voice isolated from the rest of the track.
I'm so glad to know that it happend in the year that I was born. Great setup ! Renaissance and Great Liberation !
13:26 mindblowing story. No, I am dead serious. I am convinced, that The Beatles are a gift from God to humanity after the dark war years I always thought that and said it. Why? Because it can't be a coincidence what happened with the Beatles. I mean 200 Hits in a row or something, the greatest band ever. and their perfect message that infected the entire planet: love and peace. too much for being a bloody coincidence.
Yep ! They stand in the line of Bach - Beethoven - Brahms - Bruckner - Berg - Beatles !

Dropped a rather few Acid Trips to this Album way back when it first came out.
It was nice for a while. I loved that time the tour years wonderful thanks for this interview i love St. Pepper.
This was so wonderful! Much gratitude for you making this vid! Cheers!
It’s so entertaining to watch your incredible content!!! Loved this episode(adore anything about The Beatles), great to hear John, Paul, George and Ringo(also the wonderful George Martin) speak about one of the greatest albums ever produced. Thank you so very much💜🙏❤️
This is great.
There is nothing like hearing, things through the eyes of the artists involved. It is good, that they reaslised this and shared. :)
LOVE the photos!
My parents were fans. Dad, an early audiophile, had 'Pepper' on 'reel to reel.' They took us to see them at the Hollywood Bowl and Dodger Stadium, the latter being an exercise in futility. At the Bowl we could hear them a bit but only because we were in a Box way down front.
I got it. I'd been to the philharmonic and knew the live music experience. Then my Dad took me to see Blood, Sweat and Tears. I was like nine or ten. What an extraordinary experience. And around that time we saw Ellington and his Orchestra. Now I was hooked on the live thing...
This documentary is a masterpiece of musico-cultural 20th-century history. Well-done. Cheerio! Hie.Hence, now gone away, for the benefit of the cultural kite there was indeed a show quite bright. Yes, quite right! Thanks for the memories, new improved version. Stay tuned,
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.
"It was pretty much co-written, John and I doing a work song for Ringo, a little craft job", was how Paul described 'A Little Help From My Friends', and "written out at John's house in Weybridge." Further note, George Martin was not there!
It's a masterpiece. Some folks say it's overrated. Hogwash.
They were the best in my days plus don't forget the stones an then came ccr
5:49
I agree with George Martin, Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane
should have been on SPLHCB
Great Beatles videos as always!
I always thought it was funny that one of the most famous people in the history of my little hometown in Indiana was named Colonel Pepper. His actual name was Abel C. Pepper and he was the man in charge of relations with the Shawnee who still lived in this area when European people began to settle here around 1810 . Many of our businesses in town have been named for Colonel Pepper.
George Martin simplifying WALHFMF was amzing
My first album. Good memories.
I was 18 when this album came out I still have it it is a classic and Noone will ever make another like it they were genius. 1967 was a glorious time and being 18 years old then was fantastic 😎🤟
Later the others looked down on Paul's idea of the "other band," but I think they took advantage of the basic premise that this album didn't have to sound like a typical Beatles album. Even more than Rubber Soul or Revolver -- both experimental in their own rights -- Sgt Pepper is about a broad variety of songs. It was like there were ten different acts on the same show, just like the original conceit. They never seem to say, "All right, lads, that's enough of that. We'd better peel off a rocker or two here." They just followed their muse where it took them.
would love an in their own words of rubber soul and revolver!
LSD and me! 73 years old, took acid for the first time when this album was released. WOW
Love it
My first BeaTles album SGT.PEPPERS giving to me from my aunty.. miss you aunty Sharon...🙏🏼
Well done!
Approved 👍
Nice video : )
I'm glad we had the Beach boys to give the Beatles something to live up to... God only knows
😂😂😂😂....God only knows what would've happen to the beach boys if The Beatles hadn't exist.
@@JuanLopez-ef5prI couldn’t agree more.
So yellow submarine album video coming in the future I hope 😅
The Spew Of Ads Ruined The Vibe,,, Man.
I really thought this was an outstanding video. As the title says, In their own words. The interviews attained through the years amongst the four and God Bless George Martin paint a perfect scenario for what that time was to the everyday man. The ideas are not dated although truly of the times…
But every generation must experience this. And it just so happens the Beatles included us in their journey through the music. Why do you think we still discuss them….
Think
Sgt. Pepper was a real person. He was an officer of the Ontario Provincial Police Department who was on the security detail when the Beatles came to Toronto. You can find this on or near the last page in Geroge Martin's book "With A Little Help From My Friends: The Making Of Sgt. Pepper". Paul is wearing an OPP patch on his uniform in the picture on the album sleeve.
“And dope to a certain extent”. Oh.
meanies
Theft of Service Leaders in an educated opinion.
I was a field service tech for Cummins Allison 852 Feehanville Drive Mount Prospect, IL 60056... They make money counting equipment however ,this is what ya deal with, half assed refurbished parts and to top it of they told me not to do the preventative maintenance anymore at customer sites just run the vacuum a little bit and wipe down the machines (make it look good). I was like "But that is gonna make the service call numbers go up and is >theft of service< WHY ? Well they wanted to keep selling new equipment every 3 years or so as the stuff would have lots of problems see ? With At Will, I was fired...SAD HUH ? Country is in TROUBLE in an opinion, I thank you. The Beatles : Bloody Brilliant !
I still have my original record of "Salt & Pepper" by the Grateful Airplane!
EXCELENT AS ALWAYS BEST REGARDS FROM MEXICO
Arriba Jalisco!!
1:36 "It was a fake mustache"
Loved the video content, but there are WAY too many ad breaks.
George would be critical of the Sgt pepper concept
Then, 20 years later, he was a Wilbury
"A Day in the Life" is one of the best songs ever written!
Billy Pepper and the Pepperpots
Cigarettes were a big thing back then...
Love the Beatles from rubber soul on UA-cam And sergeant pepper's was an important listening experience to me for me spiritual growth my life changed at that time and that album played a pretty big part in it but I've always thought that this this notion fantasy of Sergio peppers lonely heart club band being a different band and not the Beatles it just another silly weird idea from Paul cause you know I 1st got the album all the time I ever listen to ITIT's the Beatles Anything about this sergeant pepper's But it's a great album that's for sure
I’m well, assuming you are writing to me! Thank you for the comments… I’m at a loss with my UA-cam channel and any advice would be welcome.
This video is a great cure for insomnia!
I am disappointed that they are not showing or acknowledging that they had many more musicians on this record in addition to the Beatles
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🏆
I believe the story about Lucy in the sky with diamonds but where did Julian hear that phrase. Obviously from John talking about the liquid jar of LSD that was stashed in his closet
Or, perhaps it was just a child sharing his thoughts.
Started out trying to be a concept album, ended up not really
If I ever meet Paul, the only question I'll ask is "did you ever see Jesus again?" 14:08
It's Sgt. Pepper. Why are people following this new thing of saying "Sgt. Peppers?" It's like a really long game of Telephone. After decades of everybody saying Sgt. Pepper, one person changes it. And we're off to the races.
The title is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. So "Pepper's" makes as much sense as "Pepper," in fact more so. Why does "Pepper's" bother you?
Lol Hitler at 20:00, of course it was John's idea
In high school I really couldn't stand ABBA. Mostly their goofy costumes, and who didn't love The Who, the Stones, Zeppelin, The Beatles? Got a big kick out of "Muriel's Wedding," then a couple of friends talked me into seeing the movie Mama Mia. I made it through the half the first stanza before I started shouting out the songs like the other 500 people in the theater. And now I can proudly say, I own ABBA Gold.
Great video ‘salt and pepper’ ! ! John was always a negative, always critical. Just the opposite of the positive Paul. George was the dour, (I’m so overlooked’) Beatle and so unfairly recompensed for all my contributions. He hadn’t counted on the amazing income from being the writer of the songs and copyright. ‘Poor’ Ringo, the heartbeat of the group always super reliable and super creative, I’m sure without Ringo they wouldn’t have been nearly as successful. Poor Mal Evans what an utter disaster and another disgrace for how US cops deal with mental health most small misdemeanour issues- kill and ask questions later.
Jesus? I've never heard that one before. Sure it wasn't Charley? Lol
Compare their photos in the studio for Sgt Pepper with the ones for Abbey Road and you see a terrible difference that makes you exclaim "Oh no!"
It's funny... they still tell that lie about Julian naming his drawing "Lucy in the sky with diamonds." Yeah, right. 😅
And you know this because???
I still think the White Album is their best tho......
The Beatles they changed The Whole Wide World in Russia Moscow they loved The Beatles but they couldn't listen to that music later on they were a loud to hear it and they made a dong of Russia women's Back in The USSR snd The Beatles stared in Germany before they became famous you were all famous only one of The Beatles stood back to be with his Girlfriend snd he died of speeders and later the next day the Beatles played in Germany
great album, but why is occultist Aleister Crowley on the cover?
because he is a badass.
The real truth about Sgt. Peppers, was that it was being recorded in one of the rooms, in Abbey Road, and at the same time, in another room, Pink Floyd were recording Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.
All members of the Beatles, took turns sneaking in to listen to what Pink Floyd were doing, and copying a lot of the experimental techniques.
Piper's and pepper's were recorded simultanously door by door. What a sick coincidence.
floyd actually dropped in on a recording date during pepper as the two were recording at emi around the same time. norman smith who produced patgod was an early day senior sound engineer under george martin and their first few albums. the lads had badgered him to stop in and normal as he was jokingly named by lennon relented. roger waters discusses it in a podcast. lennon was rather frosty in his reception of the floyd element as waters recalled.
That's why Roger sings "Billy" on his 1987 album Radio KAOS. Because it referred to his first meeting with Billy Shepherd in 1967.

Stupid decision not to include Strawberries and Penny Lane, The Fool should have been in this album instead of that horrible Good Morning
"Good Morning, Good Morning" horrible? No way! It's one of the most underrated Beatles songs and the one on which John Lennon basically invented punk rock.
@@mgconlan i don’t care it’s horrible and has no place in that album or any album for that matter
@@mgconlan There is absolutely nothing punk rock about Good Morning Good Morning.
What an a-hole McCartney saying the only time George turned up was for his own song. No wonder he was hated. I think the only session he missed was possibly 'Good Morning, Good Morning'!
George Martin talking crap too. Paul himself said 'A Little Help From My Friends' was co-written with John.
I thought that was George Martin who said that bit about Harrison not showing up. Did I hear it wrong?
Huge Beatles fan, but always found Pepper to be corny. Some good tracks but more clunkers.
Hope you are well. I was analyzing your UA-cam channel. Your Content is really good But channel optimization is very poor . Because your channel SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) score is very bad .So your video views are not good . cause your video is not targeting the right audience . I'm a professional digital marketer and UA-cam expert. I have found some issues with your channel which are hindering your channel's growth. Can I suggest you grow your UA-cam channel?
Yes please let me know what I can do to get out there effectively! Thanks.
Wild life was Paul’s huge flop . The other albums all had some good songs. George success was All Things Must Pass and with the Travelling Wilburys. John only did a few good songs - the rest was rubbish !
Of course every one is free to their own opinions !
Just my personal preferences .
Ringo was a country and western type genre ! Some quite good some bad !
There are some great songs there, but a great concept album IT IS NOT.
Never liked there music.
There are some people that just have no taste in music like you but that is OK. It is usually people that are not too intelligent or educated, by the way an educated and intelligent person would know that the correct spelling is Never liked their music.
peppers orbits in and out of my world, when its out of orbit i still consider it a fine album and when its in orbit i don't feel they ever bettered it. the songs are intricate and complex yet have a one size fits all likeability to them.
