Peter Frampton - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978 Film)

Just Another Review

I liked this album and the movie. It may not be the best movie ever made, nor was this the best album ever made; however being a fan of the artists who worked on the project I'm a fan. 100%. Yes the movie was cheesy I'll give it that, but who cares.

Personally, I got a kick out of Frampton's face when I asked him to sign my copy of the movie!!! (And YES he's still touring and still KICKS MAJOR @$$ on the guitar!!! The hall of fame honor was long over due!)

But hey, what do I know.... : ) Sure there are people bound to disagree, lets just agree to disagree! August 17, 2008

Great Musical

If you love musicals this is a must have! This is one of the best musical movies ever made, and I don't give this kind of praise lightly. The Bee Gees sing Beatles songs better than The Beatles themselves (forgive me, even though The Beatles were musical geniuses, it is true). Even my youngest (at four years old) is fascinated by this movie and regularly requests to watch it. George Burns narrates and takes you on a pleasant nostalgic trip back in time. With the great array of singers (The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Earth Wind and Fire and so many more) you will be singing and dancing along with the whole movie. Then you have the opportunity to try to name all the famous people in the closing song. I bet you can't name them all! Amazing and Highly Recommended. Enjoy this one. July 25, 2008

Not the Beatles, but .......

Having seen the movie, and being a Beatle's fan, I can see the animosity of people criticizing both the soundtrack and the film. However, this cover of Beatle's music is no worse than the recent covers done in "Across The Universe". Just remember a cover is a cover. There are some songs that didn't work, but for the most part, the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton did very well. I enjoyed Robin Gibb's cover of "Oh Darling" (which plays the full version on the album, but gets cut in the movie for the scene to work) and George Burns' rendition of "Fixing A Hole" (despite the album's editor editting the final 30 second sequence from the song, the full version is in the movie).

The rest of the album is also outstanding with Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" and Earth, Wind, & Fire's version of "Got To Get You Into My Life". Billy Preston's cover of "Get Back" is also worth it's weight. I recommend this CD set on it's cover value and it's placement in pop culture history. July 9, 2008

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

This CD is wonderful. It is so hard to find soundtracks that not only have every song but are sung by the singer in the movie. If you loved the movie you will want to add this CD to your collection May 11, 2008

Beatles Covers

(Written by Karen T. Fahel) I enjoyed the movie, but I acknowledge that not a lot of people do. However, the soundtrack is fun to listen to. The entire album is made up of Beatles covers done by the cast. Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees make up a large percentage of the songs, but the rest of the cast have theirs, too.

While some are not exactly great (George Burns "Fixing a Hole" and the people playing Mr. & Mrs. Fields doing "She's Leaving Home") quite a few are wonderful. Billy Preston totally grooves with "Get Back", Alice Cooper adds his distinctive touch to "Because", and the highlight is the spectacular, totally rockin' "Come Together" by Aerosmith.

Give it a listen; it's fun, at least. April 16, 2008
