The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Purple Chick) (6-disc set) (RS500 - #1)


Fifty years . . . wow.

What is widely considered to be the greatest rock album of all time was released half a century ago today.  That length of time is truly hard to fathom.  This album is still as fresh and vital as the day it came out.

What else can I say about this album that hasn't already been said, or will be said on its golden anniversary today? Nothing . . . so why continue to elaborate, and/or belabor the point?

Thus, here you are - the six-disc version of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, collected, compiled and remastered by the good people at Purple Chick back in 2007. Here's the complete track lineup, in case you're interested:

Don't squander your hard-earned coin on the latest loudly-trumpeted "50th Anniversary Deluxe Rerelease - in glorious 5.1 sound!" - who gives a crap? The good stuff is all right here, and at no charge!

Enjoy, and as always, let me know what you think.

(and yep - I'm back (kinda . . .) - frankly, I've always been here, and never left.)

  18. I love your "who gives a crap" comment - Purple Chick is now my go to. I was less than impressed by the Hollywood Bowl reworking (didn't need spoiling), and I don't know what he's thinking with the bass on this 50th.

  29. The deluxe reissue of Pepper's last year whet my appetite for more outtakes from this session, and after listening to a few of the tracks from this set earlier tonight, I think that this is just the thing I was looking for. Thanks for uploading this, you're blog is the only place on the net where I've been able to find full purple chick sets. P.S.: Do you have any plans to release the White Album Purple Chick edition later this year in celebration of its anniversary? I would love to listen to outtakes from that as well, as it's my favorite album from The Beatles.

  30. The White Album PC set? Well, it may already be present here on this blog - it may not...! Who can really say? (heh heh)

    Take a look at my "Beatles Haiku" post for clues! Happy hunting!

  33. Thanks for offering this fantastic collection. Also, thanks for providing images of all the artwork including the inserts in the rarer vinyl issues, as well as the track listing details which is extremely helpful in making sense of all the different takes, mixes and versions.

  36. Thanks very much indeed for your response. In my view the Beatles never afterwards surpassed the creative heights they reached on this album and it is fascinating to listen to all these takes and outtakes etc. George Martin was never more involved than he was here either and he made a big difference to the final outcome. He was the Fifth Beatle. It is a pity Purple Chick don't use lossless files but this is much better than nothing. Thanks again.
