"We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you have enjoyed the show..."
We hope you have enjoyed the show..."
--John Lennon/Paul McCartney
Peter Frampton, a real camera bug, learned a lot aboutfilm making during the production of SGT. PEPPER.
We hope everyone enjoys the show as much as we enjoyed making it. We began filming in October 1977, and the production was completed just after the start of the new year. We had shot hundreds of thousands of feet of film which would be edited into the final picture. Always patient through take after take, Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees had proved adept in their quick adaptation to the special rigors and often long hours in filmmaking. We had heard great music in the making. We had seen parades in the street, exciting concerts, thrilling battles and daring balloon chases. For months, the music and excitement ran through the air. Then it was over. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was committed to film, later to be enjoyed by an audience that would span the generations and the globe.

Please post the rest of this Scrapbook. I love this damn movie. It is my favorite movie ever.
I don't care what anybody else says about it.
Hell I'd buy the physical copy off of you if I saw it was still in prime shape and I knew of a way to get the money into your hands.
Thank you so much for posting these photos - I simply LOVE the movie, the actors, sets, costumes and of course the music!
There's LUCY taking the photo of the guys at the pool scene of I WANT YOU ��
If you watch the end, and resurrection of Strawberry Fields and and the power to reverse time by Sargent Pepper (AKA Billy Preston) its easily the best feel good moment in motion picture history, at least for me. Its biblical in scope and story; the musical the Beatles didn't know they wrote!
