Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), Part 3

It was 80 years ago today that Sir Paul McCartney was born! In honor of this awesome moment in Fab Four history, the Untitled Beatles Podcast is proud to present part three of our look at his most important record: the “Hope For The Future” EP. (#Thrash)

WAIT! HOLD UP, YO! STOP THE PRESSES, NEWSIES! We’re actually discussing Side 2 of the iconic, legendary “Pepper”, as the cool kids call it. And whether you prefer your transition from “Good Morning, Good Morning” to the “Sgt. Pepper” reprise in mono or stereo, we hope you will enjoy our final installment of this “Pepper” deep dish, which also dares to ask:

 ✏️ When not microwaving pencils, did young Tony used to raw-dawg Doritos sandwiches?

 ⚾️ Was “Within You Without You” George’s tribute to Kenny Lofton, given how much he loved Cleveland Indian music?

 📼 When it comes to Macca-inspired blank audio cassettes (emoji not available), are you team “Maxell's Silver Hammer” or “Mother Nature’s Sony”?

So wake up, fall out of (your Pepper’s water)bed, and before you drag a comb across Judge Dredd, join Tony and T.J. for one final look at an album that quite literally changed the trajectory of popular culture in ways unseen until Asia’s self-titled debut in ’82. (“A Day In The Life” is fine, but have you heard “Heat Of The Moment”, son?)
