ザ･ビートルズの『Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band』は、史上最高にアイコニックなアルバム・ジャケットの座をいまだ維持し続けている。ポール・マッカートニーの着想から、イギリスのポップ・アーティスト、ピーター・ブレイクと妻のジャン・ハワースによる最終デザインに至るまで、これは単なるアルバム・ジャケットの枠を超えている。当時を象徴する見事なモダン・アート作品なのだ。このアートワークは、当時としては画期的なデザインだった。また、制作費用が3,000ポンド（現在では5万ポンド以上に相当する）と破格で、当時のポップ・アルバムのジャケットでは最高額である。コンセプトは、ザ・ビートルズが「サージェント・ペパーズ・ロンリー・ハーツ・クラブ・バンド」に扮して登場し、今ちょうどコンサートを終えたところで影響力の大きな人々の集団に囲まれている、というものだ。合計58人が、最終版のアートワークに登場している。ジャケットに登場した人々は、ジョン、ポール、ジョージ、ピーター・ブレイク、ジャン・ハワース、そしてロンドンの美術品商、ロバート・フレイザーが共同で作ったリストから選ばれた。イエス・キリストとアドルフ・ヒトラーは、掲載には不適切とされ、マハトマ・ガンジーやレオ・ゴーシーといった人々は、別の理由で削除された。また、エルヴィス・プレスリーの顔がないのも気になるが、これはポール・マッカートニーが後年語っているが、「あまりに重要で、雲の上の存在すぎて、口にするだけでも畏れ多い存在」だったからだという。最終ヴァージョンに残った人々は、文化人や重要人物、さらにはザ・ビートルズのメンバーが関心を持つ人々が並ぶ魅惑的な顔ぶれだ。「Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band」の歌詞のように、「皆さんも長年、このバンドのことは知っているだろう。それでは、『Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band』のジャケットに掲載されている残りの人々を皆さんに紹介しよう……」

└─――――――――――――――――┘50年代から60年代、電子音楽を先駆的に利用したドイツの作曲家で、今もアヴァンギャルドのゴッドファーザーであり続けている。限界を押し広げるシュトックハウゼンの音楽に影響を受けたザ・ビートルズは、『Revolver』の「Tomorrow Never Knows」でのテープを使った実験的手法を皮切りに、スタジオで画期的な実験をするようになった。ポール･マッカートニー（No.64）がシュトックハウゼンの作品を他のメンバーに紹介すると、ジョン･レノン（No.62）がファンとなった。レノンとオノ･ヨーコは1969年、シュトックハウゼンにクリスマスカードを送ったほどだヨ(=^◇^=)

The Beatles' 126th lunchtime performance at the Cavern Club on Mathew Street, Liverpool took place on this day. It was also the first time that television cameras filmed them performing. After receiving a number of letters from fans about The Beatles, a crew from Granada Television decided to investigate the growing phenomenon. Producers from Manchester-based Granada first saw the group perform at Cambridge Hall in Southport on
26 July 1962, and Granada's Dick Fontaine visited the Cavern on 1 August to check the lighting conditions before the film crew attended on this date. The Granada crew filmed The Beatles performing Some Other Guy for the Know The North programme. The filming took place less than a week after Pete Best had been sacked from the group, and one male fan was captured shouting "We want Pete!" at the end of Some Other Guy. There are three different sources for Some Other Guy. The first one is the original source, which is found in the original footage. The second, is the one edited for the Anthology proyect. It is the same as the first but with a different intro and it fades. The third is from the 1984 broadcast of the TV Special The Early Beatles.

The Beatles had been filmed by Granada Television at the Cavern Club on 22 August 1962, performing Some Other Guy for the Know The North programme. On this day their sound technician Gordon Butler returned to the venue to make a better-quality recording. Butler used three microphones rather than one for this evening show. He made an hour-long recording of The Beatles, of which performances of Some Other Guy and Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey! have survived. The first source for Kansas City is the one found on the Anthology proyect with an intro. The other is the complete acetate but without the intro.

This recording probably dates from late September - early October 1962. It can be assumed that it was recorded for reference purposes by The Beatles themselves. How the tape came in to circulation is unclear. Likewise, while it is likely that the original tape contains or contained more, these performances are the only ones to surface. Some people speculated that these recordings feature Pete Best and its from March 1962, but Ringo has stated the he is the one playing on these recordings.

次に映像です。初期を中心に様々な貴重映像が収録されています。最初期のカラー映像、デビュー前の小さなクラブで演奏しているビートルズ。そしてキャバンクラブにおける「Some Other Guy」は同じ様に見えて、実は複数テイク撮影されているのが一目でわかるバージョン違いをすべて収録。キャバンクラブでは
1962(昭和37)年08月22日に最初に撮影され、音が貧弱だということで
1962(昭和37)年09月05日に音だけ再録されたとされています。ここで複数テイクの「Some Other Guy」を見比べることにより、異なる演奏であるのが明らかです。つまり
1962(昭和37)年08月22日に「Some Other Guy」は1度だけでなく、撮影を意識してか、少なくとも2度演奏されていたことが、この映像から明らかになっています。
また、演奏シーン以外のキャバンでの客席の様子などもうかがえます。

Q: "We heard reports that, maybe, the plane was late and they wouldn't let them into Canada. Why?"
John: "Because of the hair. Have to be deloused before you can get in."
(laughter)
Paul: "Ewww."
John: (jokingly) "Well, it's a thought, Paul. It's just a thought."
Paul: (giggles) "It's a thought, John."
Q: "What held you up on your way here? Why wouldn't they let you into Canada? Seriously."
George: "'Cuz the pilot didn't have a little stamp on his bit of paper."
John: "We got here and... had to go back."
Paul: "There was one little thing missing on the paper."
Q: "That happened while you were in the air over Vancouver?"
George: "We were almost here, and he turned 'round... went back... got a little thing stamped on his passport, and then..."
John: "and we had MORE chicken sandwiches."
(laughter)
George: "and then we came again. and then the police took us for a forty minute tour of the... of the city."
John: "Because they weren't ready here."
Paul: "There was something not ready, you know."
George: "Apart from that we were on time."
Q: "How did you like it?"
John: "Very good. Only we were starving, you know."
(laughter)
Q: "On a percentage basis these days, what are you taking out of America compared with Britain, in earning power?"
Paul: "Money. Money."
John: "I haven't a clue."
Q: "Money, I'm aware."
Paul: "Definitely. No we don't know how much, you know. Really."
John: (jokingly) "Do you get more in America?"
Paul: "You won't believe us, but..."
John: "I figure we get more here, 'cuz it's so far away from home."
(laughter)
Paul: "The only reason..."
Q: "There's a rumor you own a bank in England. Is that correct?"

Q: "In a past interview, you once said that you didn't mind being in the spotlight twenty-four hours a day. Isn't there the odd time that you do enjoy doing common things, and just having it all to yourself?"

(laughter)
Q: "When is that?"
John: (giggles) "I don't know."

John: "Can't remember, it could've. You know, it's so long ago."
Q: "What's the most unusual request you've ever had from a fan?"
John: "Well, I wouldn't like to say, really!"

(laughter)
George: "and they've got seven out over here, or about seven."
Ringo: "So work that out for yourselves."
John: "They just make 'em up."
Paul: "In fact, we've made less records than most people. So there. We've only made... I think we've only ever made seven singles, and it seems to me like thousands, you know."

Q: "What's worse... facing the kids or a mob like this?"
John: (comically) "Mmmmmmmm."
(laughter)

Ringo: "Even."
Paul: "Even this!"
(laughter)
Q: "Has the press been unkind to you at any time, do you feel?"
John: "Some of them."
Paul and Ringo: "Sometimes."
George: "The majority have been good."
Q: "In which area?"
Ringo: "American magazines."
Paul: "Movie-type magazines and secrets and 'The Truth Behind The Rumors,' and all that."
Q: "You don't have any secrets?"
Paul: "Yeah, you know. But they're not the ones that get into the magazines, anyway."
Q: "Do you feel responsible for making Britannia rule the airwaves?"
John: "No."
Paul: "Ooh. Ohh. You worked that one out, didn't you?"
(laughter)
Q: "What is the best city you've ever played?"
John: "I don't know."
Ringo: "It's impossible, you know."
Paul: "Actually, one of the wildest audiences was, I think, Glasgow."
Ringo: "Glasgow, Scotland."
Q: "With all the money you make, is it true you had 19-cent hamburgers from Kings for dinner tonight?"
Beatles: "Yeah."
Q: "Paul, did you bring along your dad?"

(laughter)

Ringo: "Couple of months."
Paul: "Three or four weeks a year."
Q: "How can you enjoy them, when I hear that in Hawaii you had to leave after just a few days?"
John: "We weren't going to Hawaii, we were just passing through, you see."
George: "We only stayed there the night on the way to Tahiti."
Q: "Did you like it?"
Paul: "Yeah."
John: "What? Hawaii?"
Q: "Yeah, Hawaii."
John: "It was alright."
George: "But we were only staying there the night on the way to Tahiti."
(laughter)
Paul: "Say it again, George."
George: "He's got it."
Q: "Have any of the political parties in England tried to carry favor with you and use you for their own benefit?"
John: "No. They all give us a mention just in case."
(laughter)
George: "We had our pictures taken with Bessie Braddock and Harold Wilson, though."
Paul: "Yeah, but we don't know enough about politics to support one or the other, you know."
Q: "You're all Torries, is that correct?"
Ringo: "We're nothing."
Paul: "Not really."
John: (jokingly) "Whoever gives us the most money, you know. We vote for them."
(laughter)
Q: "Do you date any of your teenage fans?"
Paul: "Yeah, whenever we get the chance, but you don't often get the chance to. But we do, you know."
Q: "Will you be able to here in Vancouver?"
Paul: "I doubt it. No."
Q: "What do you do with all the stuff that gets sent to the rooms?"
Paul: "We try to keep as much of it as we can, but we can't always keep it. So a thing like a big cake we sent to a hospital or something, because we can't carry cakes around with us, you know."
Q: "How many people do the Beatles employ, as a group? The organization, The Beatles, Limited?"
Paul: "Oh, us? I don't know, you see, because much of the people that work with us..."
George: "I think 'we' only employ about two people."
Paul: "Most of the people that work with us work for 'NEMS,' which is our manager's company."
George: "We employ two, and that's it."
Paul: "and they have artists like Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, and alot of other people, you know... Billy J. Kramer."
John: "We have two permanently with us. One press agent and one road manager... Oh no, and a heavy."
Paul: "There he is. This one - with the mic."
Q: "You do carry a bodyguard, then?"
Beatles: "No."
John: "You don't need to with all those police!"
(laughter)
Q: "Do you find that you're losing your popularity in England?"
John: "No, not according to record sales."
Q: "Then it's all just rumors?"
Paul: "Yeah. Actually, we heard before..."
John: "They've been knocking us off since the third record."
Paul: "...before we went to Liverpool last time, for the Northern Premiere of the film, you know, we'd been down in London alot, because we'd been doing the film and TV and things, and everybody was saying, 'I've just been up to Liverpool, and they hate you up there, and it's terrible. Nobody likes you anymore.' and we believed 'em, you know, 'cuz we read the paper, same as anyone else. and we went up there, and it was the most ridiculous reception we've had anywhere, you know. So I give-in believing these rumors."
Q: "Can I ask you if you've ever had a press reception in a more uncomfortable room?"
(laughter)
John: (giggles) "Yeah."
Paul: "I don't know."
Q: "Where?"
John: "I don't know."
Q: "How do you feel being compared to Dave Clark Five?"
John: "We're compared to everybody."
Paul: "Don't mind."
Q: "How about your horse, how's it doing... your race horse."
Paul: "Great! The first time out... It's not mine, it's my dad's, you know. It's nothing to do with me. First time out it came second, and the last time out it won."
John: "and then it died."
(laughter)
Q: "Does this mob of police protection come out of your take, or is the management here to accept responsibility for paying them?"
John: "I don't know who pays 'em, but we don't."
Paul: "The last place we played at, it was the management of the place. I don't know, it may be the same now."
George: "But we just tour, we don't do all that."
Q: "You'd miss them, though."
Paul: "Oh, yeah."
Ringo: "Really."
John: "Yeah. Well I mean, if we can't get in a place, we can't go, can we? It's the promoter's money."
Q: "How long will you be on the road before you go home?"
Paul: "About four more weeks."
Q: "What is the best group of teenagers, well-behaved, you've ever had?"
Paul: "Um... I don't know. They're about the same all over the world. Just got different accents."
Q: "What city have you had your worst time in?"
Paul: "Don't know, because, you know... things that some people think are the worst time, we think are the best, you know. But I can't remember a worst time."
Q: "You've been roughed-up and jostled in various places you've been. Can you think of one in particular that was worse than the others?"
Paul: "No, you know. Not..."
John: "We've not been really roughed at all, you know."
Q: "Where do you think the biggest reception crowd has been?"
John: "Biggest crowd was Liverpool."
Ringo: "Liverpool."
Q: "How many?"
John: "I don't know."
George: "Alot."
John: "Just more than the other..."
Q: "Sydney was the biggest, wasn't it?"
Paul: "Sydney?"
John: "Ah, well."
Paul: "I don't know, but there was alot in Liverpool."
Q: "How long did it take you to make your movie?"
John: "Eight weeks, was it?"
Paul: "Yes."
John: "They were trying to make it in three, but we argued."
Q: "Do you like the movie?"
Paul: "It's good, you know."
Q: "How's it doing where it's showing, do you know?"
Ringo: "It's doing well."
John: "It's breaking records, I've heard. I don't want to brag."
(laughter)
Q: "Is it true that some of your birthday mail went in the fire and you didn't even see it?"
George: "No, untrue. Well, I think so. Actually, it was, umm..."
Paul: "I don't think that was the rumor anyway, you know."
John: "The rumor was it went in the bin. By the time it gets over here, it's on fire."
Paul: "Some people found some mail... and I think it was about two letters out of thousands, you know... which had been unopened. They'd been sent to the fan clubs, and the fan club was supposed to open and read 'em and then throw 'em. and there were about two that they'd forgotten to open, so this was a great big scandal, you know. It was just a slip-up."
Q: "Ringo, do your families see your shows when you are in England?"
Ringo: "Sometimes, when we play Liverpool and 'round about there. We did the premiere in London, they came down there. They come down and I go up."
