Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if.....


....."Within You Without You" was dropped from the LP and Side 2 began with either "Penny Lane" or "Strawberry Fields"? If so, which of these would best kick off the second side?

- George Martin's son is currently updating (removing compression layers utilized when the album was recorded not utilized anymore). His son also stated the real pride was placed into the mono version and that the stereo version was "a rushed production." In all honesty...I would wait until the "remastered version" of Sgt. Peppers comes out before having this conversation. Just a thought. Best regards!
I'll bet Ringo wishes all The Beatles albums would be remixed. When he heard the first album, his response was "Where's me kick?'. George Martin was not a Rock 'n' Roll producer, and put Ringo's bass drum waaay down in the mix, giving them a more "Pop" sound than they imo should have had . The Beatles started as a Rock 'n' Roll band, and turned into a Pop group. A rather good one ;-).

well, its not going to happen, so guess it really doesnt matter now does it?
Different Agoners would keep or cut different tunes.  There's no absolute answer, no consensus, on this.  If you put SFF and PL on this LP then what happens to the Magical Mystery Tour LP (without those two very strong tracks)? 
When I'm 64 is a fairly lightweight song (he wrote it when he was 16) but IMO they managed to make a good track of it.  And it is very popular.

Honestly, they would have been better off not doing MMT and gone on to the White Album.  MMT is the weakest album of their discography.  I'd almost say it was an album they released to satisfy the bean counters at Capitol, etc...
