Sgt Pepper: 'It Was 40 Years Ago Today...'
Great documentary on BBC2 last night. Seeing Kaiser Chiefs struggling with 4 track recording to 1" tape was interesting. They needed 20 takes. It's not scheduled for repeat though.
DOCUMENTARY: Sgt Pepper: 'It Was 40 Years Ago Today...'
On: BBC 2 London (102)
Date: Saturday 2nd June 2007 (Already shown)
Time: 22:45 to 23:45 (1 hour long)
To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, the album's engineer, Geoff Emerick, heads back to the studio with some of today's top artists to create new versions of the album's classic tracks. Will today's musicians succeed in recording their versions of the songs using the original studio equipment from 1967, and with only a day to record each song? The Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight and Bryan Adams are among those taking up the challenge.
(Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles)

Wow, I'd love to have seen the whole documentary. I checked out The Stereophonics, Kaiser Chiefs & Bryan Adams covers on YouTube. I have to say that much as I hate Bryan Adams he really nailed it. Seemed like he was the only one who really knew what he was singing. The singers on the other bands looked like it was the most stressful thing they ever did.
Great idea for a documentary. I'll have to track it down in the murky depths of the Internet...

I've been watching a bunch of video from this documentary and just finished listening to the audio from the BBC website. What an amazing project. It's fascinating to listen to the old timers and the new bands and I have to say I'm liking all the versions that I've heard so far. Can't wait for part 2.
