The Unheralded Battles Involved In *Sgt. Pepper Source’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles say that when their *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band* was issued in 1967 – it was not only band’s iconic album – but the defining album for all of the 1960s. It was the mark of the bands exploration into the psychedelic era and the band transformed pop culture, however there was a concept that underlined the singer songwriter and bass player Paul McCartney with most of the band members being sparse and disinterested in ideas.
### McCartney’s Vision And the Equal Contribution of Others
McCartney dreamed up most of the album’s narrative framework but he was often wounded when other band members such as John Lennon decided to work on important tracks such as “ Lucy in the sky with diamonds near him”, and somehow they just always end up elsewhere. Ringo Starr is said to have spent chess when he learned during lengthy hours of stretching”. Although, Harrison always seemed to suffer most of all while working on *Sgt. Pepper*.
Harrison, who had already had some controversial discourses with the group, came to feel the recording as a tiresome and solitary affair. His only contribution to the album – the sitar-fuelled tune “within you without you” became an exquisite piece, but the road towards this piece to the audience has been messy indeed.
### Songs that got lost in tension and creation wars
At first, Harrison was supposed to add a number of his songs to the album, including *Only a northern song*, which was cut off in the end.
Harrison recollecting himself in *Anthology*, pronounced the event as ‘the exhausting and when all is said and done, cutting out, tedious’.
> “The only one slightly different ‘Sgt. Pepper’ No, I am a little bit hmmm tiring shh but other than that boring. Most of the time we were not even allowed to ‘jam’ as a band. It was like an assembly technique. Just tiny pieces and then brought to completion.”
Focusing on the ‘spirituality of the Indian instruments’ and feeling rather abandoned, Harrison turned his attention to *“Within You Without You,”* which he described as *“Harrison introduced a meditative composition, which well covered his personal and creative evolution at that moment.”*
### A Masterpiece Born from Conflict
*Harrison’s unfortunate but continued writing of his songs for the struggle with the *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band*, was still able to transform the Beatles as well as formulate them into the ambitious progression of mainstream music.* The obtaining of the album features a lot of both great teamwork and other more of the internal struggles of the four hostile gentlemens of the Beatles.
