THE BEATLES: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | Extended Play Lounge Ep. 92
Added 2025-06-04 02:28:26 +0000 UTCI'm quite pleased to share the very first EPL episode dedicated to the music of The Beatles. As I will say in the video, I know quite a bit of the band's repertoire, which is why I've chosen other bands and other albums first and more often. But, something told me the timing was right for a full album reaction to a Beatles album...and Sgt. Pepper's did not disappoint.
I tried a new format in this reaction...having my keyboard right in front of me instead of to my side. Let me know what you think of this option! (For me...there are pros and cons...but I enjoyed trying it!)
I'm using the 2017 remixed/remastered stereo edition overseen by Giles Martin.

I remember that recording on the run-out groove. For those who are too young to know, that's the groove just outside the label of a vinyl record that catches the needle at the end of play (which would trigger the auto-return on a player than had it, and just keep playing forever on a player that didn't.) You already led with my favorite Beatles album. Abbey Road is fine for the next. Also a vote for Yellow Submarine.

2025-06-14 20:07:50 +0000 UTC"She's Leaving Home" is one of the several incredible story-telling songs the Beatles told through the years. The depths you can find in these stories makes me jealous as a writer. They needed so few words to write entire novels worth of story.
