The Making of Sgt. Pepper (Documentary)
This semester I discovered that I have a gift. I am incredibly talented at making a kick ass schedule, and this is the reason why. I was browsing through our course catalogue and stumbled upon a class called Record and Allied Entertainment 400 "The Beatles." It is part of the Bandier Program we have at Syracuse, which includes a Music Industry Major. The class I am taking is taught by this amazing professor who is on the board of the Grammy's, David Rezak. Our class is all about the Beatles, from the technological aspect of recording to the creative process, to "Beatlemania" and its correlation to "Bieber fever." The class is sponsored by Apple Corps. Yes, you read that right. MY CLASS IS SPONSORED BY APPLE CORPS. Anyway, they sent us a documentary about the making of Sgt. Pepper, which was never released in the United States. It features interviews with George Martin who shares some of the original master tapes from the first recordings of various songs. It was absolutely amazing, and I think it should be mandatory for every human to watch. I mean who knew that Strawberry Fields was supposed to be on Sgt. Pepper?!?!
That was the most amazing Beatles video I have ever seen! I absolutely love this class and all of the first-hand experience stories we've heard. P.S. I knew about Strawberry Fields. :)
