Episode description
To celebrate the 40th 'Birthday' of Sgt Pepper, the BBC invited various bands to record tracks from Sgt Pepper; in Abbey Road studios, using the original equipment (4 track analogue recorders) and staff (Geoff Emerick). Two doumentantaries of the recording sessions were broadcast on TV. I'm not sure if an official album was ever released of these covers.
They are intersting cover versions, also thanks to the Geoff, who managed to re-create many of the typical sounds.
Unfortunately, good old Geoff subjected all vocals to the (in)famous ADT (atomatic double tracking) treatment, which I find rather irriating after a minute into the song or so.
The broadcast also contained fragments of the rehearsal sesions, interlaced with interviews of the band. I glued together the rehearsal sessions of Kaiserchiefs, and ended up with an (almost) complete version of Getting Better, without ADT and overdubs.
Enjoy the world premiere of this track !
