Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: The Soundtrack

I love this album and was excited to finally get it on cd........ It's nice to see more people accepting of the music off this record now than when it came out, I think the disco association isn't warranted (I happen to love 70's disco so it was never a problem for me) but except for the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Finale at the end of the album, there really isn't a hint of disco in the music at all. I think alot of people were oblivious to the fact that it was produced by George Martin, the same man who produced the original album and most if not all of the other Beatle records as well, and its all a very honest attempt at reimagining the Beatles versions with a slightly different approach. My favorite song of all is Sandy Farinas Strawberry Fields Forever, a beautiful version of the song. Every song that Frampton and The BeeGees handle sound excellent to me, Prestons Get Back is fantastic, Aeorsmith and EWF do incredible versions of their covers, probably the most recognizable for mainstream listeners of any of the songs off the album. Maxwell is pure 78' era Steve Martin and I love it for that, it makes me think back to the endless times I'd listen to his stand up records early on in his career. Great music from a sorely underapprciated soundtrack.........a part of me wishes they could mount a one time benefit concert and do a live version of the album while theres still an opportunity to get a majority of the musicians and vocalists together to do it before it becomes just a wishful memory.......... I'd go see it!

Okay, yes it isn't the best or truest to the original, but, it's the BeeGees! They're in all their glory from the height of the 70's: when they were young and pretty and had strong voices and a string of awesome #1's. Robin Gibbs version of Oh! Darlin' is fabulous. If this weren't enough, there is Peter Frampton in his glory years just looking adorable and singing like a little bird. His Long and Winding Road gives me goosebumps. Then, there is Alice Cooper's Because,and Aerosmith's Come Together.Party On Wayne! Steve Martin,George Burns, Donald(Halloween)Pleasance and all the rest. Super-dooper! Since Cheap Trick did the Beatles version,recently, maybe the Killers should do this the soundtrack version.Just a thought. "85" you can dance to most of it. The film makes absolutely no sense, yet it is pretty to look at, everyone looks like they had fun doing it. Other great performances=Billy Preston singing Get Back and Earth Wind and Fire=Got to Get You Into My Life. Little children love watching this and singing along. Us big kids,too.

When you purchase vintage vinyls you must expect a few flaws. The cover showed a little wear but the important part was beyond expectations. Thank you for your honest description.I’ll be back❤️

Perfect condition for the age and was surprised to have the original poster and inserts with it. Came in a sturdy shipping box too.

I saw this movie when I was in High School in 79. The movie was only so so, but the music was great. Was it as good as the Beatles? No, but I think it is a good cover tribute to a great story album. If you like Peter Frampton, the Bee Gees and many other great singers, and enjoy good tributes to great artists, you might enjoy this album.

This was expensive and hard to come by! But very nostalgic. Naturally, actual Beatles are better, but other than Dark Side of the moon, these two albums (Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers) are the only two great rock and roll albums that I know of which were covered in their entirety. And of course, there are at least half a dozen different bands who have covered Dark Side of the Moon. I would love to know of any of the other great classic rock and rock & roll albums that were covered whole?

Having seen the movie, and being a Beatle's fan, I can see the animosity of people criticizing both the soundtrack and the film. However, this cover of Beatle's music is no worse than the recent covers done in "Across The Universe". Just remember a cover is a cover. There are some songs that didn't work, but for the most part, the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton did very well. I enjoyed Robin Gibb's cover of "Oh Darling" (which plays the full version on the album, but gets cut in the movie for the scene to work) and George Burns' rendition of "Fixing A Hole" (despite the album's editor editting the final 30 second sequence from the song, the full version is in the movie). The rest of the album is also outstanding with Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" and Earth, Wind, & Fire's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life". Billy Preston's cover of "Get Back" is also worth it's weight. I recommend this CD set on it's cover value and it's placement in pop culture history.

If you like The Beatles, a young Peter Frampton & The Bee Gees, as well as a host of other late 70 artist, this soundtract is great. It Features Great Beatles music from their Sgt Pepper album done by some of the best rock/ disco groups of the times. A few of my favorites from this sound track include; Come Together (Aerosmith), The Long And Winding Road (Peter Frampton), Got To Get You Into My Life (Earth, Wind & Fire), and my personal fav; Golden Slumbers/ Carry That Weight (Peter Frampton, The Bee Gees). It's a great soundtrack

ottimo cd, anche se non al livello di quello dei Beatles, ma belle cover con Bee Gees, Peter Frampton e altri cantanti molto famosi, fantastici anche gli earth wind and fire , ottima performance, Ho visto il film è un po' deludente, ma le canzoni sono ottime

I originally purchase this album but wanted it on CD. If you’re a Bee Gees fan like myself will definitely not be disappointed in this album.

Todo OK. Sabía que musicalmente no aportaba nada al original de The Beatles, pero la tuve cuando se publicó y he aprovechado para recuperar esta obra. Se escucha con agrado y aunque no vivo en el pasado, también compré la versión remasterizada en mono original de 2009.

Certainly nowhere near the disaster it's reputation suggests (the film is another matter...), I found it a pleasantly good and interesting collection of Beatles covers. There are some interesting re-arrangements here, such as 'Mean Mr. Mustard', which was a quick little (and possibly unfinished) ditty in it's original form, but here it's been transformed in to a fully fleshed-out song. 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite' is also another cool re-arrangement, and those aren't the only two examples either. Overall, I personally really enjoyed the album. So, just why did it receive such a strong negative reception? I can only guess, but maybe the backlash against Disco coming around the time of it's release might have had something to do with it, the album certainly has a strong Disco sound so no doubt it was a perfect target. But ignore all that, give it a good listen and you'll discover a vastly underrated album.

BEATLES, BEE Gees, Alice, etc.
