Deal alert / The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band / 2CD deluxe
If you didn’t pick up last year’s Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band box set, then the 2CD set is probably the next best option, especially since there has been a big price drop in the UK.
This set offers Giles Martin’s very good new stereo mix on CD one and then an 18-track bonus disc of Pepper alternate takes, early versions and instrumentals, the 2015 stereo remix of Strawberry Fields Forever and a new 2017 stereo remix of Penny Lane. This is a landmark album and a landmark reissue and this double-disc set (with a 60-page booklet) is a snip at just £9.99 (previously around £17).
