Sgt Pepper (the song) - revealed

Mousey's picture

Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band - a great song.

Lurking on the internet are assorted links to the multitrack master. You can search on YouTube or for example go straight here to listen to the lead vocals

I know this stuff has been around for a couple of years but I only just discovered it and I feel really strange - like the secret cupboard has been opened. And the secret is - they could write, play and sing!

If you like this kind of stuff, and I appreciate that many people don't want to break the spell, you can sniff around for Bohemian Rhapsody and I Heard It Through The Grapevine.

I'm desperately trying not to break any laws here Fraser.

I never would have thought

that there was that much reverb on the lead vocal. It sound quite dry on the record. Amazing.

Surprised me too

amongst other things

If you can find the lead guitar + horns track check George's guitar sound - so beautifully dirty! Such a great guitarist.

If you load them into Garageband, Logic or Pro-Tools

you can remix the track to your hearts content.

Stevie Wonder's Superstition is a good one to look for as well :-)

Fiddling about

Are there any free tools a boy could download to play about with this stuff? I tried using Audacity but quickly ran out of options.

Garageband is free

if you're running a Macintosh.

Sadly, no.

I am a slave to the 'Soft machine.

Nice blog, Mr Spector

Just to let you know: I work beside a friend of yours. He speaks highly of you and your blog! Tall chap, name starts with "G"...

You going to Macca on Sunday, by the way?

I've just amazed myself

But playing the YouTube link, at the same time as the real thing on iTunes, and then nudging the pause button on both to get them in sync, means I get to mix the backing track and and out. Cool
