Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Multi-Track Masters (1967)
The Beatles In The Studio, Track By Track

Hearing what The Beatles were able to accomplish with only 4 tracks (and a bit of bouncing)
on Sgt. Pepper's is pretty amazing. Here are some incredibly clean master tapes where you can hear the isolated tracks of just Paul's bass & Ringo's drums ("A Day In The Life"), Ringo alone with background vocals ("With A Little Help From My Friends") or just George's electric lead and George Martin's horn charts ("Sgt. Pepper's"). If you've got audio software, you can make your own mixes. Admittedly, this is more for historians and fanatics, but it's still a fascinating, on-the-job look at rock's greatest practitioners. Listen to just John and Paul singing "She's Leaving Home," above (because of the silent instrumental intro, give them 10 seconds to start).

    Yeah, this is incredible! I remember a documentary on PBS that came out in 1987 called "It Was Twenty Years Ago Today" that delved into the production of the album, and it was way cool. But THIS is even way cooler than that and will keep me busy well through the weekend. Thank you so much for putting it up!

    This is cool Willard. I remember that PBS special and I have it on VHS somewhere. I remeber George Martin isolating various parts of songs, and it was really cool to hear what he was hearing while working out the mix. Thanks

    Downloaded multiple times. Winzip won't open it. How do you open this file? Thanks.

    It's typically a case of upgrading your unpacking software. It was packed using Stuffit Expander 8.0.2.
