Phil O'Keefe Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Probably old news for many of you, but the various multitracks have been floating around on the Internet since at least the Garage Band days. Still, it's a great study in economy, track sharing and arrangement to listen to how they utilized those four tracks.

Members AJ6stringsting Posted June 18, 2017 Members Share Posted June 18, 2017 That album was a Monolithic monument in music. Boundaries were shattered, the bar was raised in the creativity sector and a genre was expanded for generations of inspirations.SGT. Pepper was a compositional triumph, sonic landscapes were defiant against boundaries that Rock music was stuck in.We caught glimpses in songs like I'm Only Sleeping, Norwegian Wood, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Penny Lane. Strawberry Fields Forever and Tomorrow Never Knows, of what was in store for us back in 1967.I love listening to to SGT. Pepper with headphones, it seems like there is always something new hidden in the individual tracks. The Benefit of Mister Kite has so many sonic surprised.It's kind of like they wanted the listener to go through an sonic rollercoaster.To me, I've heard people do less with 32 tracks than what George Martin and the Beatles accomplished on SGT. Pepper. I wonder who was engineering this session , Geoff Emmerich ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yes, Geoff Emerick was the engineer. I got a chance to finally meet him at the AES convention in Los Angeles - it was coincidentally on my birthday last year - a very quiet and unassuming man - he seemed quite nice. What kills me is that he was only 22 or so by the time he had recorded both Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
