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 RUclips 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 love the Beatles but also tbh they were mediocre musicians. Had they mastered their instruments and mastered their songs they would have been absolutely untouchable.
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!!❤😂🎉
Record company did not like putting lyrics on it cuz there was money to be made selling sheet music; I used to buy single sheet of one song and books with complete album lyrics, notes, etc! Beatles insisted on putting words on album; thanks boys!
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.
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
i'm 65 TOO! paul is incorrect when he says the words "turn on" was never used in a song before. the beatles, themselves, used the phrase 2 years before in the song "she's a woman." the difference is the context. in "she's a woman" it's a sexual reference and in "a day in the life" its a drug reference. "sgt pepper" is one of those albums that i loved when i first bought it. by the mid-70s it seemed rather dated and fell out of favor. i still liked it just not as much as i did before. it wasn't too long, though. before i reappraised it again and fell in love with it all over again. the beatles never really released a bad single or a bad album. my least liked beatles single is "from me to you." but the b-side has one of my favorite early beatles songs "thank you girl." "the beatles for sale" is my least liked beatles album but i always loved the cover partly because its the ONE COVER never used on any u.s./capitol album release. also the album contained some of their best covers. and, with "mr. moonlight," one of their worst recordings EVER! btw, the "white album" is THE best r&r album ever produced.
That was my exact age when I got into the Beatles in 1981. I really got into playing guitar and everything changed in a great way. (and I was already a happy kid before then)
I don’t think an 8 yo could possibly understand this album. I’m keeping my niece away from great albums until she can appreciate it. The sad thing about the Beatles is their music gets played to death before a person is old enough to understand it.
@@SST4SSG we are talking about a masterpiece. I apologize if I upset you. If you disagree with me, explain why. Calling me names and delusional is kind of rude when I’m just saying an 8 year old can’t fully appreciate the aesthetic of this masterpiece.
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 😎🤟
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.
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.
Did you know that Billy Pepper was the man that filled in for Paul. He had a band called Billy Pepper and the Pepper Pots.....I'll bet anyone 50,000 dollars that Paul was not in the band
I got Revolver when I was 8 and Sgt Peppers when they was 11. I’m over 60 now and I have never tired of those two albums. They are my two favorite Beatles albums
I'm 65 and I bought Sgt, Pepper's when I was nine. To this day, I'll listen to it and it still sounds as fresh and interesting and profound as it did back then.

Favorite album was the very first my parents bought me in Brooklyn in Fortunoffs "Meet The Beatles" I was 11. I played it thousands of times. I never played any of their other albums that many times.
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.
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.
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💜🙏❤️
I feel so blessed to have grown up as a teenager during the years when the Beatles were creating their music, eagerly waiting for each new album to be released.
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.
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
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.
@beemrdon52Also: Bach Is more math than music, Segovia's approach was too guitaristic (Duh!), Soap plots are as good as Shakespeare, the Life of Jesus Is based on that of Hercules (?) and last, the Fab Four were holograms. All actually stated by upright walking individuals, mostly men, women are busy living.
All those songs they released around Pepper were fantastic. All you need is love, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Goodbye Hello.. then the album with Lucy in the Sky, A day in the Life etc...What a creative explosion 💥
I remember being in Massachusetts when Pepper came out. Now I have two copies of the record: one British and the other from the states. Can’t wait to play them again. Fantastic stuff. Thanks for the video.
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.
Winning it in a ( radio) contest, I got it before the genqeral public, & told people " Beatles fell." Ended up loving it more than any other album, ever !!
I remember when the Beatles said they were not going to Tour anymore, and their last show was at Candle Stick Park in San Francisco. Shortly there after the record stores put all their existing Beatles albums on close out sale prices. Many people thought that was the end of the Beatles.Paul was interviewed by a guy in the press and he torched Paul because he thought the Beatles were finished. They were working on Sgt Pepper, and were not finished with it yet, but Paul thought "Won't they be surprised" 😀
I Love the Beatles so much when my time comes i pick out three songs from The Beatles that I want played at my funeral that's how much I love the Beatles❤ and I want the people that come to my funeral to get an understanding of how much magic they made in their music and I want my funeral to be a celebration not something sad and gloomy.
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.
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.
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...
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. 😊
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.
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.
This is insane. I’ve never heard this before and had to go look at Paul’s uniform on the album. Sure enough, an OPP badge on his left shoulder. Had no clue. But as a Canadian this is a really cool Easter egg. Thank you!!
"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!
Rubber Soul inspired Pet Sounds which inspired Revolver which inspired Smile which inspired Pepper. Pepper came out first and Brian shelved his album for years.
Was 11 Yrs old when we discovered(me n older brother) discovered the Beatles..~1971…Beatles were officially broken up already We had previously seen Help and Yellow Submarine. But this was our first Real LISTEN to the music of the Beatles.My bro bought Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour…which could all really have been one Dbl album.We were blown away with 2 albums, listened to the. Every Day…for 2 years! Then we had to work our way backwards in their discography…watta band , artistically.
Revolver was the greatest album the Beatles ever made in my opinion. Sgt Pepper was Paul's project trying to match Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds. Paul never denied that album was an influence on Sgt Pepper.
Paul's story of Jesus... at nearly every gig I went to in London at the Hammersmith Odeon, Rainbow, Marquee and other places, there was alwaye a long-haired wild dancing guy down at the front. I remember asking other music biz journalists who he was and they all said the same thing: 'That's Jesus.' He was everywhere at once!
The run The Beatles had from Rubber Soul to Magical Mystery Tour is by far the most creative run any music artist has ever had and probably will ever have. They were truly channeling the spirits if you will. Great stuff before it and great stuff after but that four album run is the best you will hear anywhere.
I fully understand what those 4 FAB LADS went through. We walked more than a mile in their shoes 'cuz we LOVED 'EM! Sir Paul & I share an 18th of June birthday! I send him a LOVE 'YA PACKET every year = London office! Their studio productions were terrific! Don't mind me -- I'll just be ......."sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun -- getting a tan sitting in the English rain!" Cheers from Cav in Fairfax, CA! P.S. Typed on D-Day, 2024. *
The world was brilliant with the Beatles.☮️☮️☮️☮️✌️✌️✌️✌️ 🤪 dont be sad they stopped be glad they did brilliant songs that has and will live forever 💜 rock on 😎😎😎 ❤
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.
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
Absolute masterpiece! Still, I'm sick of hearing so many people say it was a "concept album". It was a FAILED concept album (listen at 8:00) "Sod it, Let's just do tracks!"

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.
No but "Paul is really dead" is muttered by ole Billy
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...
EXCELENT AS ALWAYS BEST REGARDS FROM MEXICO
Arriba Jalisco!!
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.
Yes it is. @@michaelhardin470
I was 12
My favorite parts of this series are the isolated tracks. Genius!!
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.
Priceless. Thank you.

I agree with George Martin, Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane
should have been on SPLHCB
Which songs would you have dropped to make room?
Great! Thank you!
George Martin simplifying WALHFMF was amzing
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.
This is insane. I’ve never heard this before and had to go look at Paul’s uniform on the album. Sure enough, an OPP badge on his left shoulder. Had no clue. But as a Canadian this is a really cool Easter egg. Thank you!!
"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!
Very nice and well made video. Thank you.
Beatles forever
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.
Rubber Soul inspired Pet Sounds which inspired Revolver which inspired Smile which inspired Pepper. Pepper came out first and Brian shelved his album for years.
Love it
Was 11
Yrs old when we discovered(me n older brother) discovered the Beatles..~1971…Beatles were officially broken up already
We had previously seen Help and Yellow Submarine. But this was our first Real LISTEN to the music of the Beatles.My bro bought Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour…which could all really have been one Dbl album.We were blown away with 2 albums, listened to the. Every Day…for 2 years!
Then we had to work our way backwards in their discography…watta band , artistically.
Big influence on The Slambovia Circus of Dreams! Eternally grateful as we all are!
Nothing like them. Nor will be again
Revolver was the greatest album the Beatles ever made in my opinion. Sgt Pepper was Paul's project trying to match Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds. Paul never denied that album was an influence on Sgt Pepper.
Shut up mate
got it at Christmas - have always thought of it as a Christmas album
Well done!
What a humble talented man George Martin was. A match made in heaven.
Paul's story of Jesus... at nearly every gig I went to in London at the Hammersmith Odeon, Rainbow, Marquee and other places, there was alwaye a long-haired wild dancing guy down at the front. I remember asking other music biz journalists who he was and they all said the same thing: 'That's Jesus.' He was everywhere at once!
The run The Beatles had from Rubber Soul to Magical Mystery Tour is by far the most creative run any music artist has ever had and probably will ever have. They were truly channeling the spirits if you will. Great stuff before it and great stuff after but that four album run is the best you will hear anywhere.
Nice video : )
LSD and me! 73 years old, took acid for the first time when this album was released. WOW
Aloha. I'm 46, love LSD and Sgt. Pepper🤙🏼
That would make you about 115 . You are doing well :)
I fully understand what those 4 FAB LADS went through. We walked more than a mile in their shoes 'cuz we LOVED 'EM! Sir Paul & I share an 18th of June birthday! I send him a LOVE 'YA PACKET every year = London office! Their studio productions were terrific! Don't mind me -- I'll just be ......."sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun -- getting a tan sitting in the English rain!" Cheers from Cav in Fairfax, CA! P.S. Typed on D-Day, 2024. *
The world was brilliant with the Beatles.☮️☮️☮️☮️✌️✌️✌️✌️ 🤪 dont be sad they stopped be glad they did brilliant songs that has and will live forever 💜 rock on 😎😎😎 ❤
So yellow submarine album video coming in the future I hope 😅
Wow, this is good!
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.
Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the Mona Lisa of the rock world.
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
Approved 👍
AT 12:47, who is playing the 12 string there? Anybody know???
Who's the bloke with the 12 string guitar at 12:50?
Loved the video content, but there are WAY too many ad breaks.
I still have my original record of "Salt & Pepper" by the Grateful Airplane!
This video is a great cure for insomnia!
Very interesting.
Absolute masterpiece!
Still, I'm sick of hearing so many people say it was a "concept album". It was a FAILED concept album (listen at 8:00) "Sod it, Let's just do tracks!"
Great story from Paul @ 13:25 on the Fixing a Hole session. I wouldn't be surprised if it really WAS Him.
It introduced Billy Shears lonely hearts club ♧ band 😊
Billy's here have you guessed
