Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, regardless of which iteration you’ve been spending your time with all these years, has never, ever, sounded as gorgeous as it does on disc one of this set. To call it a revelation is to do it a disservice: Sgt. Returning to the original Pepper recordings, Martin built a new stereo remix from the ground up. If you never play the stereo disc, you’ll be quite happy with what you hear in monaural.īut…there’s no other way to put this: You’d be a fool not to experience what Giles Martin, the son of George and for some time now the caretaker of all things Beatles audio, has created in stereo. The mono album, although relegated to the fourth and final CD in the new box, retains all of the punch and solidity of the original. The Beatles, producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick spent considerably more time on the mono than the stereo mix because, in those days, stereo was still in its relative infancy. Maybe you’re a mono purist, insisting even in 2017 that the way most people heard the album in 1967 is still the way it needs to be heard. Or perhaps you see it as one inseparable epic and can’t fathom any piece of it not being there. You likely have your favorite tracks maybe there are a few you are ambivalent about. There’s no need to re-litigate the content: There are 13 songs on Pepper and you either live and breathe them by now or you probably never will.
