SGT. PEPPER'S MUSICAL REVOLUTION
June 3, 2017  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SPECIAL: This is the easiest, and most obvious, TV recommendation of the night. Fifty years (and a day or two) after The Beatles released the groundbreaking 1967 concept album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, PBS presents a new special, co-produced by Apple Corps Ltd. With the full support of the Beatles estate. Directed by Francis Hanly and hosted by Howard Goodall, this special uses audio outtakes from the Sgt. Pepper sessions to help deconstruct and reconstruct the making of one of rock music’s most influential albums. (Though not even the group’s best, but that’s a debate for another time.) The album’s newly released stereo remix by Giles Martin, son of original Beatles producer George Martin is one source for revelation and wonder. This TV special is another.
