  • ORIGINAL 1967 ORIGINAL PRESSING IN GLORIOUS MONO!

    Rare , NICE COLLECTION COPY from 55 years ago !

    The 'rare' mono pressing has been long sought after and contains not only different song mixes from the stereo but a strong punchy (mono) sound production that is much different from the stereo release.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

    Here is a list of sonic differences when listening to the
    mono version (vs stereo) of Sgt. Pepper:

    The funky backwards guitar part at the end of the opening song just before "Billy Shears."

    The flangey/ADT effect on Ringo's voice during some chorus of "With A Little Help From My Friends."

    The tripped out flangey vocals from the second verse out on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

    The slightly longer end of "Fixing A Hole" where McCartney is wailing up high.

    The change in tone in "She's leaving home" in the mono version - due to being sped up, not so dreary and long as in the stereo version.

    The timing on the effects of "Mr. Kite."

    The extended louder laughter on "Within You Without You."

    The louder backing "oo-oo's" on "When I'm 64".

    "A Day In The Life". After the second "I'd love to turn you on", the string section from the first break is repeated, where in the stereo version you hear a piano playing the part in the forefront of the mix. The piano is absent in the mono mix here, and instead you essentially hear a repeat of the first break.

    The "bleed edit" found at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise"; you can hear the machine flutter as it comes out of pause.

    The low volume mumbo-jumbo during the extended bass drum raps at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise".

    The timing of the audiences are different on the "Reprise" section.

    Paul McCartney ad-libbing at the end. Paul sound like he is saying "Thank you very much good night now..." or "bye bye now".

    and there may be more...you be the judge!
    .... 1967 original, first pressing in glorious MONO:

    "Pepper was probably the one Beatles album I can say was my idea," McCartney says. "It was my idea to say to the guys, 'Hey, how about disguising ourselves and getting an alter ego, because we're the Beatles '. McCartney added: "I just listened to it and said to myself, 'God, I really love this album.' Still, today, it just sounds so fresh. It sounds full of ideas. These guys knew what they were doing. They're good. And they're inventive. I haven't heard anything for years that's as inventive. I don't really expect to."

    <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

    After the Beatles stopped touring in 1966, they had time to explore in greater depth the possibilities of the recording studio with producer George Martin. The magnitude of the Beatles phenomenon was starting to encroach on the band - and their experience with psychedelic drugs made that phenomenon seem increasingly surreal. Apart from some relatively modest touches - the colorful uniforms, the opening theme song, the reprise near the end and Ringo's entertaining turn as "the one and only Billy Shears" in "With a Little Help from My Friends" - the alter egos make no discernible appearances on the album. But one look at the cover of "Sgt. Pepper" - festooned with the band's wildly eclectic gallery of heroes and with the wax figures of the youthful Fab Four standing next to their far more hirsute and serious-looking real-life counterparts - eloquently tells how greatly removed the group had grown from what they were. Under the guise of alter egos the Beatles had finally allowed their real selves to emerge.
    Interestingly, however, the Beatles had freed themselves not merely to chronicle such weighty subjects as the joys of mind-expanding drugs, in "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," the paradoxical wisdom of Eastern religious philosophy, in "Within You Without You," or the sterile absurdity of mainstream values in the astonishing "Day in the Life." On the contrary, Sgt. Pepper is filled with sly inside jokes, broad music-hall humor and completely gratuitous novelties. It is not only the Beatles' most artistically ambitious album but their funniest. Take, for example, the dog whistle - which humans can't hear - buried on the album's second side. And the famous "Inner Groove" - the snippet of pointless conversation that sticks in the album's run-out groove and that was not included in the original American version of "Sgt. Pepper" - has an equally zany genesis. Around the time of "Sgt. Pepper's" release, McCartney explains, "a lot of record players didn't have auto-change. You would play an album and it would go, 'Tick, tick, tick,' in the run-out groove - it would just stay there endlessly. We were whacked out so much of the time in the Sixties - just quite harmlessly, as we thought, it was quite innocent - but you would be at friends' houses, twelve at night, and nobody would be going to get up to change that record player. So we'd be getting into the little 'tick, tick, tick,': 'It's quite good, you know? There's a rhythm there.' These are minor points, perhaps, in the context of the enormous achievement of "Sgt. Pepper". But such fun-loving experimentalism - born of the optimistic determination to blow away anything that "stops my mind from wandering where it will go" - is "Sgt. Pepper's" best legacy for our time..
