Citando:

"The former artist's studio located on Flood Street in London has been converted into a modern plan residence consisting of two bedrooms, a bathroom, an open plan kitchen and reception room set over two floors.

Chelsea Manor Studios opened in 1902 and has been used by several artists, photographers and writers including Norman Parkinson and Graham Sutherland.

The most famous photo session to take place in Chelsea Manor Studios was on March 30, 1967, when the Beatles had their picture taken for the ground-breaking album cover of 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by photographer Michael Cooper."

PS: Uma boa ideia seria pedir aos Beatles vivos para o fazer. Seria un exercício interessante.

1967-06: A cover de Hendrix a Sgt. Pepper's...

Citando:
"Jimi Hendrix was never shy to hide his admiration for The Beatles and, back in 1967, the iconic guitarist took things to the next level.

The night was June 4, 1967, Hendrix was stepping out on stage for his headline show at the Saville Theatre in London and, knowing that both Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in the audience, Hendrix decided to open the show with his rendition of Sgt. Pepper‘s title song."

2019-02: Sobre Pepperland...

... Um espectáculo inspirado nos Beatles e no Sgt. Pepper's:

Citando:
"Pepperland, which premiered at Liverpool’s Sgt Pepper at 50 festival in 2017, is a collaboration between choreographer Mark Morris and composer Ethan Iverson – and one of many productions to have been inspired by the Fab Four. When I meet the pair, on the eve of the show’s UK and Ireland tour, I ask if they ever saw the 1978 Sgt Pepper film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton as the one and only Mr Billy Shears. “Oh my God, that’s the worst thing in the world,” says Morris with mock horror. How about Julie Taymor’s Beatles fantasia Across the Universe? “It. Is. A. Nightmare,” he declares, drawing out the last word. Then, of course, there’s the hit Vegas show Love, created – Morris grimaces – by “Cirque du fucking Soleil”."

2018-04-23: Auto-retrato de John Lennon vendido em leilão

https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/john-lennon-hitler-self-portrait-sold-45000-dollars-beatles-a8317726.html

Citando:
"John Lennon's self-portrait of himself as Hitler sells for $54k

There are several known self-portraits taken from Lennon's personal sketchbook which incorporate Nazi iconography

(...)

In 2007, Sir Peter Blake – who co-created the cover - revealed to The Independent that Hitler did actually make the final line-up, but is simply obscured by the Beatles themselves. ”Yes he is on there – you just can’t see him,” he said. 

He added: “If you look at photographs of the out-takes, you can see the Hitler image in the studio. With the crowd behind there was an element of chance about who you can and cannot see, and we weren’t quite sure who would be covered in the final shot. Hitler was in fact covered up behind the band.”"

2017-06: Beatles no top da Billboard 50 anos depois

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-beatles-sgt-pepper-50th-billboard-20170605-story.html

Citando:
"The Beatles are once again in the upper reaches of the Billboard 200 albums chart as the 50^thanniversary edition of the group’s 1967 classic, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” jumped to No. 3 a week after the release of the new stereo remix.

In terms of total equivalent sales factoring in streams, “Sgt. Pepper” logged 75,000 sales last week, behind only rapper Bryson Tiller’s “True to Self,” which tops the chart with equivalent sales of almost 107,000 copies, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.,” at No. 2 on sales of 84,000 copies."

2017-06-18: Steve Howe e a altura do Sgt. Pepper's

http://somethingelsereviews.com/2017/06/15/tomorrow-beatles-steve-howe/

Citando:
"That is the approach I took when talking with Steve about Tomorrow. The link below navigates to the conversation that I conducted for the two Tomorrow releases, including an introduction of each of those albums. At the time, it struck me how the songs on Tomorrow’s only studio album from 1967 mirrored some of the concepts from Sgt. Pepper’s, and I discussed that with Steve. In addition, there is information about the direct interaction between the two bands. (One point of interest that didn’t come up: Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick also contributed his talents to the Tomorrow production.)

Overall, the content is a companion piece of sorts to the era that is described in the book from the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band box set. This conversation may appeal to those interested in Tomorrow even without having read the box set’s book.

There have been some minor edits made to the original posting that the reader won’t miss, like fixing run-on sentences that at the time I was reluctant to eliminate in an effort to preserve each and every word Steve said. But there is one new set of additions that I felt would be largely beneficial, and that is the inclusion of YouTube videos to help provide some context to Steve Howe’s comments. These appear as embedded windows, and as links within the text."

2017-06-05: Sgt Pepper’s Musical Revolution with Howard Goodall review

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/jun/05/sgt-peppers-musical-revolution-howard-goodall-review-untold-treasures

2017-06-01: Sgt. Pepper's faz 50 anos (edição de 2 CDs e 1 CD já nas lojas desde final de Maio)

Faz hoje 50 anos da edição em UK do Sgt. Pepper's: já meti as mãos e os ouvidos há uns 2 dias na edição comemorativa (2 CDs). E apesar de muito do que vem no CD circular por aí há anos, é sempre interessante de ouvir (remisturado e remasterizado). Para quem nunca ouviu é interessante para perceber o quão bons (e discretos) músicos os Beatles eram. Ouve-se layers e layers de percussão e outros instrumentos (alguns desaparecem com a mistura final no uníssono que se torna) e só quem já brincou com gravações (como eu e muitos outros) sabe dar valor ao difícil que é no final tudo soar coerente e coeso.
Uma versão das cordas do SLH é também interessante (a somar à do Eleanor Rigby da Anthology). E as versões remasterizadas do SFF e do PL estão mais fresquinhas. Entre aspas. Bonito de se (ou)ver.

Citando:
""I always saw those [songs] as the equivalent of writing a James Bond film theme," McCartney explained in Barry Miles' biography, Many Years From Now. "It was a challenge. It was something out of the ordinary for us because we actually had to write in a key for Ringo and you had to be a little tongue in cheek." Like school kids, the songwriting partners procrastinated on the assignment until the last possible moment. Starr's track would be the last one composed for the album."
