I know it shouldn't bother me, but it does. It's Sgt. Pepper's Stephen.
I stand corrected Nancy and will attempt to not make the same mistake.
Thanks mate! (Can I call you mate? I love you Aussies! I'm a huge Hugh Jackman fan.)
Happy to be called mate even though I am English by birth. Have lived in Australia since 1964 (coincidentally the year The Beatles came to Australia) so definitely an Aussie.

Hugh Jackman's parents are English and immigrated to Australia where he was born in 1968 and he calls people "mate" all the time, so I thought it was both an Aussie and English thing. No?

I think you're right there. Probably one of those terms that "traveled" when people came to Australia.

Rumor that "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever", originally planned to be on Sgt. Pepper, but issued as a single instead, will be included in the 50th anniversary re-issue. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/two-iconic-beatles-songs-finally-9970665 http://bestclassicbands.com/sgt-pepper-reissue-2017-3-6-17/
Brilliant! I agree wholeheartedly with this decision. This is the way John & Paul wanted to release the album, until Mr. Epstein & the men in suits got in the way. SFF will probably end Side 1 & Penny Lane will open Side 2. I believe that was the original design.

I heard that Australians call each other "mate" because it's short for inmate. But "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" are on Magical Mystery Tour.

Only the American version.

Hold the phone. Are you saying that when people in Britain buy the CD, they're getting the 6ish song EP and not the full album?

I meant the original version released in the U.K. in 1967 that was an EP. Today they can buy the remastered MMT which is really the American album on Capitol. I got it in 2009 with the rest of the (British/Parlophone) CDs.

MMT was available in Britain only as a double 45rpm EP from 1967-1976 when they released the American version of the album with the singles including Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. They kept the American MMT as one of the core catalog when they issued the CD's later. The double 45 rpm vinyl EP was reissued again as part of the MMT Deluxe Box Set with the restored film on Blu-ray and DVD in 2012.

So "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" are on the Magical Mystery Tour CD. That's what I thought.

The problem is if they try and re-write history and include SFF & PL on the album, then they're going to have to knock off a couple of tracks that originally took their place !!! Lovely Rita & Good Morning Good Morning for the chop anyone?
-
I love Lovely Rita. I would gladly 'chop' Good Morning, Within You/ Without You, and especially Benefit For Mr. Kite. And to prove I'm not a total McCartney geek, never loved Fixing a Hole.

I'd be happy to get rid of Good Morning it has always been my least favourite song in the album I always skip it.

As I mentioned earlier, have SSF & PL replace Kite & Within You/Without You respectively. The flow is much better & that's what John and Paul had in mind from the beginning. George Martin said that WYWY was so out of place with the rest of the album, the only place to put it was to lead off Side 2. John pinched the lyrics from Kite from a poster. Easily the worst 2 songs on Pepper, imo.

I walked past Town Meadows (the site of the actual show on the Mr Kite poster) this afternoon, and surprised to read it's not liked! Musically alone even if no the pyrics Mr Kite is a great track that fits on pepper perfectly. I don't get whey people here are even debating which 2 songs to take off pepper to fit strawfields/penny lane - it's clear they are being added to what is already there, not taking away. And whats with the lack of love for good morning good morning?! Worth it for the guitar solo and pacing alone!

Pepper on vonyl lasts what about 40 minutes? But a single vinyl album can hold about 55 min - so technically they could have had those 2 on AS WELL as the rest of the album, so no need to kncok stuff off
(And of course CDs hold 80, but we're talking the original vinyl.) Whay am i so bothered? I dont know! Its not even my fave album! Sleep deprived and winding down with 5 minutes onlinem sorry!

Yes, that is our Paul playing the guitar lead on Good Morning Good Morning! Love that song! No need to remove any songs! Depending on my mood, I may skip Within You Without You, but it has grown on me over the years.

Wow. I LOVE "Good Morning, Good Morning." It makes me feel like I've just been dropped into the middle of the swinging London scene circa 1966-67, more than any song I've ever heard. While I don't normally favor the death penalty, I think I'd make an exception for anyone who would actually f*** with the track list of Sgt. Pepper.

"Good Morning Good Morning" and "Within You Without You" are two of their most rhythmically interesting songs.
