A friend asked me if I could find any MP3 files from the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band soundtrack. You heard me right, she wants songs from the movie that single handedly killed the careers of Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees. Specifically she wants Sandy Farina’s version of Strawberry Fields Forever. If anyone has leads on MP3 files of the songs please drop me an email.
You mean some good did come of that soundtrack?
(Insert tasteless comment about George Burns living 20 years after ruining Fixing a Hole here)
The guys at MPISM are good with music. Goodluck with your download. And think of poor Peter Frampton who may really need that royalty. (An IMHO) Earth, Wind, and Fire did an awesome version of an awesome Beatle song. The one bright spot of the soundtrack.
Who can forget Steve Martin doing “Maxwell’s silver Hammer”. Two low pionts.
I may post on MPSIMS if I don’t get a bite here.
The movie wasn’t totally without merit, EW&F doing Got to Get You Into My Life and Aerosmith doing Come Together but it was an incoherent mess of non-actors working without a script.
You’ve forgotten Aerosmith’s Come Together.
(OTOH, I agree about Martin’s Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. Ick…)
I don’t often agree with Maxim Magazine but they rated this as the worst record album of all time and they were absolutely correct.
When I was a teen I went with a group of friends to see a movie. I don’t remember what movie it was but it was sold out so the group decided to see Sgt Pepper instead. I walked home 5 miles by myself rather than see it. I stand by that decision to this day.

Whenever the conversation drops to a crawl, my favorite conversation starting question is “What is the worst album you still own?” For good or bad, I own this album. I win this question hands down, every time. My own bad taste amazes me…
Not a bite. <sigh> If the mods could possibly move this thread to MPSIMS I won’t post the same thing again.
I have this album too, but I’m sure as hell not letting any of you losers borrow it!
(Killed the Bee Gees careers? Gimme a break! Both Frampton and the Bee Gees still make more money than most of us will ever see.)
It also killed the career of Frankie Howard…if he actually ever had a career… and the very clunky version of “Lucy in the Sky” by Dianne Steinberg deserves immortality as an example of a musical mistake of Shatneresque proportions.
It was the worst movie I ever payed money to see…and I can’t imagine wanting to listen to any of the soundtrack again in my life…

Bad movie? Yes. Bad soundtrack? Yes. But as an adolescent I adored both. Being a confirmed Bee Gees fan, and (at that time) also a Frampton fan, I actually LIKED this movie when it first came out. I still like it, in a kinda nostalgic way – reminds me of when I was young and much more foolish.
