There was a weird programme on British TV last night. I didn't catch
all of it, but the gist of it was that a bunch of modern bands (like
Kaiser Chiefs, Stereophonics, Razorlight, Travis) re-recorded all of
the Sgt. Pepper tracks on the original 4 track equipment.
They pretty much duplicated all of the original parts, warts and all.
Geoff Emmerick was producing (I think he engineered the original
sessions?)
Anyway ... I never caught the whole show, so I have no idea why they
were doing it. I do know of a short story by Jorge Luis Borges in
which a modern-day writer tries to get inside the head of Cervantes
and re-write Don Quixote, word for word. Again ... there may have been
better things this chap could have done with his spare time.
