Beatles-Alternate-Sgt-Pepper's
This is a bootleg, one of many versions under the - almost - the same same, called "The Alternate Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (or could be this is "The Alternate Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band And A Little More"). In my files it was the former. Below there are links to four versions of Alt. Sgt. Pepper's or the one with "a little more".
I need to listen to it again, try to sort it out which one this is. The length of the item is 2 h 27 m. Towards the end of the file, not all my mp3 played it properly. Some did. Could be the end of the file is corrupt - the music plays too slow - and if that's the case, I may have to prune the corrupt part off the file, leave the remaining 2 h+. In the mp4 form, this file, the album did play just fine & dandy.
Meanwhile:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967, Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music.
(Beating "Smile" / "Pet Sounds" by Beach Boys in that race. While Pet Sounds - now - is Big Time, at the time the US market didn't get it, while the Europeans did.)
The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment.
It is considered one of the first art rock LPs, a progenitor to progressive rock, and the start of the album era. Its release was a defining moment in 1960s pop culture, heralding the Summer of Love, while the album's reception achieved full cultural legitimization for pop music and recognition for the medium as a genuine art form.
The album was loosely conceptualized as a performance by the fictional Sgt. Pepper band, an idea that was conceived after recording the title track. A key work of British psychedelia, it incorporates a range of stylistic influences, including vaudeville, circus, music hall, avant-garde, and Western and Indian classical music.
The band continued the technological experimentation marked by their previous album, Revolver, this time without an absolute deadline for completion. With producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick, the group colored much of the recordings with sound effects and tape manipulation, as exemplified on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" and "A Day in the Life". Recording was completed on 21 April. The cover, which depicts the Beatles posing in front of a tableau of celebrities and historical figures, was designed by the pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth.
The album spent 27 weeks at number one on the Record Retailer chart in the United Kingdom and 15 weeks at number one on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the United States.
It was lauded by critics for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture. In 1968, it won four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, the first rock LP to receive this honor.
In 2003 it was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. It has topped several critics' and listeners' polls for the best album of all time, including those published by Rolling Stone magazine and in the book All Time Top 1000 Albums, and the UK's "Music of the Millennium" poll.
In the 2003 version of "500 Greatest Albums of All Time""by the Rolling Stone magazine, Sgt. Pepper's was ranked # 1, with the Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys ranking # 2. And while in the revised version from 2012 by Rolling Stone the Pet Sounds remained at # 2, the title of the best album, however, went to "What's Going On" by Marvin Gayes. That's a great album, no two ways about it, seems as if Rolling Stone Magazine wanted a black man to lead the chart. In the 2020 edition, Sgt. Pepper's ranks at #24, after talented artists like - Kanye West.
It remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and was still, in 2018, the UK's best-selling studio album. More than 32 million copies had been sold worldwide as of 2011. A remixed and expanded edition of the album was released in 2017.
