The Beatles wouldn’t have done it though. They would have put a two to three second gap between tracks. They were still recording on a 4 track and it would have sounded too muddy. We could clean it up now but at the time it would have sounded bad and been pointless. Now if they wanted to make it sound uninterrupted, that’s different. But the fade out/in overlapping wouldn’t be there.

I think it’s very cool that The Beatles managed to release two bona-fide *classics* in the year of 1967, and I think it would dilute the greatness of those two releases to combine them into one. The White Album worked perfectly as a double album because of how disjointed yet somehow cohesive the songs were, but I don’t think that combining Pepper and MMT would have a similar effect, it would just be too much of a good thing in my opinion.

While I agree that would be a bonzer album, I don't think it should be. They were two very distinct projects. I would propose as an alternative put Penny and Strawberry onto Pepper, and add the Yellow Sub tracks and other singles onto the MMT album, and not have a YSub album at all. Because even though MMT and YSub were also two distinct projects, they have a commonality in both being soundtracks, but also both not being long enough to be single albums (leaving out all the Martin instrumental stuff). Basically it would be taking the Capitol idea of enlarging the MMT EP into an album by including the singles and compensating for the loss of Penny and Strawberry with the new Y Sub songs. But what would I know...

aw man this was amazing. That transition from Penny Lane into Within You Without You was perfection

Tricky, but by God man you've done it !

You inspired me to make a CD in this order. Thank you so much. I have Strawberry & Penny before the Sgt. LP, but it made sense to have a mix like this. CHEERS!!

I respectfully disagree. I would put "Strawberry Fields Forever" on side 1 between "Fixing a Hole" and "She's Leaving Home". Then I would put "Penny Lane" on side 2 between "Lovely Rita" and "Good Morning Good Morning" adding very few seconds of silence between "Lovely Rita" and "Penny Lane", so it doesn't feel like a rush . But that's simply what makes ME feel a better flow between high vs low energy moments, and weird vs happy feeling moments, and also the changes in keys between songs. But the beatles and their crew would have made a better job, obviously.

Great reasoning, but I'd swap them: Penny Lane is a great side-1-ender just after the abrupt ending of Mr. Kite because of its matching abrupt start, and its reminiscing gives you an extra incentive to flip the side to find Strawberry Fields, a lovely side-beginner with its mellotron and the train leading to a Eurasian voyage into India, with Within You Without You

tough one. MMT's so weird on its own and i honestly think it's one of the beatles' top 3 albums. some days i put it before Revolver. Just not sure how "MMT", "Fool on the Hill" and "Flying" fit into Peppers' mood. the whole album's more moodily psycheledic than Peppers is. having them as 2 separate albums is fine with me.

Producer George Martin said leaving Penny Lane /Strawberry Fields off Sgt Pepper album was a big regret and John was disappointed not to have SF on the album .They would have fitted in perfectly to the continuity and theme of the album and could have replaced, when im 64 / within you without you ,which could have been released as a double sided single

THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! I am going to make an alternate Sgt CD like this but they only thing I would change is to use the Rarities version of Penny Lane since is the stereo version with the trumpet tagged in at the end. Thank for the inspiration!

Agreed, and well presented!

It's a fun idea, but I really like Sgt Pepper just as it is, and I really like Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on Magical Mystery Tour. The album that I really think would have been improved by putting on the singles would be Rubber Soul -- replace "What Goes On" and either "Wait" or "Run for Your Life" with Day Tripper and We Can Work it Out and I think Rubber Soul becomes an even greater album than it already is.

Supposedly Strawberry Fields Forever would appear in Sgt Pepper's instead of When I'm 64, but by decision of the producers or managers (I do not remember), When I'm 64 remained in the final tracklist.

I had an alternate version playlist of this album simply called "A Day in the Life", which went like this: Side 1 1. Good Morning, Good Morning 2. The Fool on the Hill 3. Within You Without You 4. With A Little Help from my Friends 5. Penny Lane 6. She's Leaving Home 7. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite Side 2 8. Strawberry Fields Forever 9. Blue Jay Way 10. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 11. Fixing a Hole 12. Baby Your'e a Rich Man 13. All Together Now 14. A Day in the Life

They should have left off Within You, Without You and put on those two songs.

Nice. It would have been even a greater album than it was with these inclusions. The segue from "Penny Lane" to "Within You and Without You" actually is getting me choked up here pondering "what could have been"

Exactly.

😍Wowie zowie! That works like a charm!😊

I once made a mix of pepper, magical mystery tour and yellow submarine. But I didn't cross fade like this!

I do think you've hit on the best way to stitch them in after the fact, but we'll unfortunately never know how knowing they'd be on the album from early on in its creation would've effected the style of other songs.

Probably if PL and SFF were on Pepper then Lovely Rita would have been in the Magical Mystery Tour film/b-side from that era to be used on the US Magical Mystery Tour LP (could have had a whole Meter Maid sequence in that film related to the magic bus!), and When I'm 64 would have been saved for the Yellow Submarine film/soundtrack (because they were actively stockpiling 'leftovers' at that point for YS). The 64 sequence in YS is a great part of the film, so the song could have easily been making its debut in that capacity. Would have made sense.

I'm on board!

Imagine that plus the Magical Mystery Tour album on one double record for 1967!

I would have loved it if those had been included on Pepper but probably better somewhere in between the other songs leaving “A Day In The Life” as the closer 👍😆

thanks to MMT, I will never be able to associate SF and Penny with Sgt.

I'm sure if SFF and PL we're included Sgt. Pepper wouldn't be 15 tracks so 1 or 2 other tracks would have to go... My guess would be When i'm 64 and Lovely Rita or Good morning good morning (i like the song but it's my guess)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I read, these two songs weren’t ever actually meant for Sgt. Pepper. The record company wanted them to release these two songs as singles since they hadn’t released anything in a while at that point, but the Beatles weren’t necessarily mad about it. I think Paul later said they usually preferred to release stuff as soon as it was ready rather than delaying it

I would keep everything exactly as it is. 👍

Got this crazy idea: Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, and Yellow Submarine as one insane double or triple album

When I make my playlists I always incude Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane.

To be fair, the whole B side of MMT should be in SP since they were done during the session. Though All You Need is Love was a live "Are Now" recording. Also when MGM reissued Yellow Submarine on DVD they reissued the soundtrack with all the song from the film (Sgt Pepper etc)

If they were included in Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band then they wouldn't have been knocked off the charts by Engelbert!

I'd place Strawberry Fields Forever at the end of side A, so both sides end with an epic baroque pop song with a false ending. Then Penny Lane would be the second song of side B after Within You Without You so there is a better transition between its heavy psychedelic sound and the bubblegummy When I'm Sixty Four. Also this way both sides have a McCartney trilogy (Getting Better-Fixing a Hole-She's Leaving Home in Side A, and Penny Lane-When I'm Sixty Four-Lovely Rita in Side B).

George Martin is on record saying that dropping SF and PL from Sgt Peppers was one of his biggest mistakes. The question is what songs would you drop in their place?

I agree that they were wrong not to include the two songs, it would have been an even more impressive album, it would not have words to express its greatness. Now, I feel that if the two songs were included, the best thing would have been to remove Lovely Ryta and When I'm Sixty-Four, a least one of the two, so that the album would not lose connection and not look too long, they are also the lowest part of the album, after the They would have put better in the Magical Mystery Tour, not if they had, also Maccartney ego and his forced excess of protagonist might not have allowed it, but they are superfluous and it would have clearly been ideal.

Side 2 of Sgt Peppers could have equally matched side 1 with Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, and It's All Too Much in place of Rita, 64, and Good Morning. Of course to the purists these words are sacrilegious.

In my playlists on my iPhone I put the singles that were left off Rubber Soul & Sgt Pepper in place of tracks I don’t like. In the case of Pepper, I just removed When I’m 64 & Lovely Rita (you could take out Good Morning but I wanted more Lennon). 64 & Rita would have been great on Magical Mystery Tour. I’m old enough to remember the vinyl and side 1 is just perfect so I would touch that running order. The only thing about SF is it’s a little quieter than Pepper mixes so would have had to be cut to fit in level wise. George Martin said leaving SF & PL off Pepper was the biggest mistake he ever made. Including those two tracks would have nade Pepper hands down, without question the greatest pop album ever made.

I sure wish they had. It would have made the album that much better.
