Yeah, they were a pretty good band, to say the least. I often wonder what would have happened if John Lennon wasn't murdered and George didn't die from cancer, if they would have reunited, or whatever. I suppose that it is one of those could have would have situations.

I don't think they would've reunited. Possibly to many things to iron out for that.

I did not realize until only recently that 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane' were both part of the Sgt Pepper sessions. It was Brian Epstein who wanted to rush release a "super A side" single with the two tracks just to get some material out (and later packaged with Magical Mystery Tour).

They definitely would have gotten back together. Paul and John were already talking shortly before John's death. The great thaw from what happened in the very early 1970s was already starting. Whether they could have stayed back together is another story...

I watched an outstanding documentary on PBS Sunday night entitled Sgt Pepper's Musical Revolution with Howard Goodall. It is an examination of the making of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, focusing on the writing and the studio work. Both fascinating and entertaining. If you can locate this on-line or it is replayed on PBS I highly recommend watching it. You will not be disappointed.

I saw that listed in the guide on DirecTV when I was looking to see what was coming up. I'd like to check that out if I can. Maybe I should tape it.

It's maybe the for best they left it as it was. Time doesn't always heal all.

That's true. At least they left the recording behind to listen to.
