COMENTÁRIOS

" Bem, ouví os cds de vocês e achei bem legal. Parabéns pelo trabalho. Se o Mr Paul falou bem, é porque é bom, uai! "

João Barone, Paralamas do Sucesso, 20/10/99


Estou torcendo pelo sucesso de vocês. Eu continuo tocando o último álbum da banda em meu programa...É um excelente disco.

Alan Haber - Pure Pop Radio Show - 01/9/1999 - Virginia - USA


" Não, esta não é uma banda típica de Beatles, por duas razões : 1- Sgt. Pepper's Band toca músicas que os Beatles escreveram mas nunca as lançaram oficialmente. 2 - A banda faz a sua própria viagem nestas canções. Você nunca ouviu "If You've  Got Troubles " and " I'll Keep You Satisfied " como eles gravaram. Eles são Brasil e maravilhosos ! "

David Bash - Pure Pop Magazine - 5 April 1999 - Virginia - USA


 

AS MÚSICAS

Tip Of My Toungue

Escrita por Paul, fazia parte do repertório de palco dos Beatles em 62. O grupo chegou a gravá-la em 26 de novembro do mesmo ano, a mesma sessão histórica em que gravaram seu primeiro grande sucesso, Please Please Me, mas a fita foi "deixada na estante", considerada abaixo do nível por George Martin. Lançada na Inglaterra, em julho de 63, por Tommy Quickly, um dos artistas do staff de Brian Epstein, não obteve boa colocação nas paradas.
 
 

When I want to speak to you
It something takes a week or two
To think of all the things I want to say
But words just stay on the tip of my toungue
 

When the skies are not so blue
There's nothing left for me to do
Just think of something new to say to you
But words just stay on the tip of my toungue
 

People say I'm lonely
You know that's not true
I'm just waiting for a chance
To prove my love for you
 

Soon enough my time will come
And after all is said and done
I'll marry you and we will live as one
With no more words on the tip of my toungue


I'll Keep You Satisfied

Foi a terceira canção de Paul para Billy J. Kramer. Lançada em novembro de 63, chegou ao 4°. lugar na Inglaterra. Não há nenhum registro da música com os Beatles.
 
 

You don't need anybody to hold you
Here I stand with my eyes open wide
Give me love and remember what I told you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

You don't need anybody to kiss you
Everyday I'll be here by your side
Don't go away, I'm afraid that I might miss you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

You can always get a simple thing like love anytime
But it's different with a boy like me
And a love like mine
 

So believe everything that I told you
And agree that with me by your side
You don't need anybody to hold you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

You can always get a simple thing like love anytime
But it's different with a boy like me
And a love like mine
 

So believe everything that I told you
And agree that with me by your side
You don't need anybody to hold you
I'll keep you satisfied
 

Give me love and remember what I told you
I'll keep you satisfied


Step Inside Love

Foi escrita por Paul para Cilla Black especialmente para o seu show "Cilla", exibido na televisão inglesa em 68. Em discos  piratas é possível encontrar uma versão acústica gravada por Paul como "demo" para a cantora, diferente da versão parcial publicada na série Anthology. Produzida por George Martin, a gravação de Cilla foi lançada na Inglaterra em maio de 1968 e chegou ao 8°. lugar.
 
 
 

Step inside love let me find you a place
Who cares of the day will be carried away
By the smile on your face we are together now and forever
Come  my way Step inside love and stay
Step inside love Step inside love  I want you to stay
 
 

You look tired love let me turn down the light
Come in out of the cold rest your head on my shoulder
And love me tonight I'll always be here if you should need me
Night and day Step inside love and stay
Step inside love  Step inside love  I want you to stay
 
 

When you leave me say you'll see me again
For I'll know in my heart we will not be apart
And I'll miss you till them /We'll be together now and forever
Come my way Step inside love and stay
Step inside love Step inside love  I want you to stay


Sour Milk Sea

Foi escrita por George Harrison em fevereiro de 68, durante a permanência dos Beatles em Rishikesh, na Índia, no curso de meditação transcendental com o Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. De volta à Inglaterra, John, Paul e George se reuniram na casa dos Harrison, em Esher, e gravaram, só vozes e violões, 23 das suas mais novas composições que fariam parte do "Álbum Branco". Entre as de George estavam Not Guilty e Circles, lançadas posteriormente pelo autor em seus discos solo, e Sour Milk Sea, que foi gravada apenas por Jackie Lomax, um velho amigo de Liverpool, com produção e guitarra de George, além das ilustres participações de Eric Clapton, Nicky Hopkins, Ringo e Paul.
 
 
 

If your life's not right doesn't satisfy you
You don't get the breaks like some of us do
Better work it out find where you're gone wrong
Better do it soon as you don't have long
 

Get out of the sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
 

If you want the most of everything you do
In the shortest time your dreams come true
In no time at all it makes you more aware
A very simple process takes you there
 

Get out of the sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
 

Looking for release from limitation
It's nothing much without illumination
You fooled around with every different cult
There's only one thing here that brings result
 

Get out of the sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there


Love Of The Loved

Foi mais uma canção original dos Beatles na citada audição para a Decca. Composta por Paul nos primeiros tempos do conjunto, foi cedida, por insistência de Brian Epstein, para o disco de estréia da sua mais recente contratada Cilla Black ( originalmente Priscilla White ). Lançado em setembro de 63, não teve grande sucesso como teriam duas outras posteriores, compostas por Paul especialmente para ela.
 
 
 

Each time I look into your eyes
I see that there, there heaven lies
And as I look I see the love of the loved
 

Someday they'll see that from the start
My place has been deep in your heart
And in your heart I see the love of the loved
 

Though I've said it all before
I will say it more and more
Cause I'm really sure you love me

And I know that from today
I will see it in the way
You look at me and say you love me
 

So let it rain, what do I care ?
Deep in your heart, I'll still be there
And when I'm there
I see the love of the loved
 

Though I've said it all before
I will say it more and more
Cause I'm really sure you love me

And I know that from today
I will see it in the way
You look at me and say you love me
 

So let it rain, what do I care ?
Deep in your heart, I'll still be there
And when I'm there I see the love of the loved


Like Dreamers Do

Um dos treze números da audição de janeiro de 1962 para a gravadora Decca, foi uma das primeiras composições de Paul e já fazia parte do repertório dos Quarry Men. Pode ser ouvida com os Beatles nos famosos Decca Tapes ou na série Anthology, mas só foi lançada comercialmente pelo conjunto The Applejacks, proveniente de Birmingham, alcançando o 20°. lugar na Inglaterra em junho de 64.
 
 

I, I saw a girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I would love her
Oh you, you are the girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I will love you
And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do
 

You, you come just one dream ago
And now I know that I will love you
Oh I knew when you first said hello
That's how I know that I will love you

And I waited for your kis
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do

And I, I, I, I, I'll be there, yes I will
I'll be there waiting fot you
 

You, you come just one dream ago
And now I know that I will love you
And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do
 

I, I saw a girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I would love her
Oh you, you are the girl in my dreams
And so it seems that I will love you
And I waited for your kiss
Waited for the bliss like dreamers do


Hello Little Girl

Nas palavras de John , autor da música : "Eu devia ter 18 anos na época ( ... ) acho que foi a primeira canção minha tentada pelo grupo ". Foi gravada pelo conjunto The Fourmost em agosto de 63 e permaneceu por dezessete semanas nas paradas inglesas, chegando ao nº. 9. Com os Beatles, a música fez também parte da audição para a gravadora Decca.
 
 

When I see you everyday I say hello little girl
When you're passing on your way I say hello little girl
If I see you passing by I cry hello little girl
When I try to catch your eye I cry hello little girl
 

I send the flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me, love, love, love
 

So I hope there'll come a day when you say
You're my little girl
 

When I see you everyday I say hello little girl
When you're passing on your way I say hello little girl
If I see you passing by I cry / hello little girl
When I try to catch your eye I cry hello little girl

It's not the first time it's happened to me
It's been a long lonely time
And it's so funny, so funny to see
That I'm about to lose my, my, my mind
 

So I hope there'll come a day when you say
You're my little girl, You're my little girl, You're my little girl
 

It's not the first time it's happened to me
It's been a long lonely time
And it's so funny, so funny to see
That I'm about to lose my, my, my mind

So I hope there'll come a day when you say
You're my little girl, You're my little girl, You're my little girl


In Spite Of All The Danger

Parceria de Paul e George, foi a primeira música dos Beatles ( então "The Quarry Men") a ser gravada, juntamente com That'll Be The Day, de Buddy Holly, num pequeno estúdio em Kensington, no ano de 58. John Lowe, um dos membros do grupo na época, o único a guardar uma cópia em acetato, tentou vendê-la em leilão em 81. Paul é hoje o detentor dessa cópia, depois de contornar alguns problemas legais .
 
 
 

In spite of all the danger, In spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you, Anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me
 

In spite of all the heartache that you may cause me
I'll do anything for you anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me
 

I'll look after you like I've never done before
I'll keep all the others from knocking at your door
 

In spite of all the danger in spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you, anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me
 

I'll look after you like I've never done before
I'll keep all the others from knocking at your door
 

In spite of all the heartache that you may cause me
I'll do anything for you anything you want me too
If you'll be true to me


You Know What To Do

Que poderia ter sido a segunda composição de George gravada pelos Beatles, permaneceu completamente ignorada pelo público e mesmo pela a bibliografia especializada até a redescoberta, em 93, da fita gravada numa sessão de ensaio da noite de 3 de junho de 64 e sua conseqüente publicacão na série Anthology. O dado curioso sobre a data é que nesse exato dia Ringo foi internado devido à amigdalite e a tarde foi dedicada ao ensaio urgente do substituto Jimmy Nicol, que estrearia no dia seguinte em  Copenhague.
 
 

When I see you I just don't know what to say
I'd like to be with you every hour of the day
So if want me just like I need you
You know what to do
 

I watched you walking by and you looked all alone
I hope that you won't mind if i walk you back home
And if want me just like I need you
You know what to do
 

Just call on me when you're lonely
I'll keep my love for you only
I'll call on you if I'm lonely too
 

Understand I'll stay with you everyday
Make you love me more in every way

So if want me just like I need you
You know what to do


If You've Got Troubles

Teria sido a contribuição vocal de Ringo no Lp Help! Escrita especialmente para esse fim por John e Paul, foi gravada pelos Beatles em apenas um take na noite de 18 de fevereiro de 65. Considerada inadequada pelo grupo, foi relegada aos arquivos e substituída na função por Act Naturally, um sucesso de Buck Owens em 63, que viria a ser a última composição alheia em um disco dos Beatles.
 
 

If you've got troubles
Then you've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
 

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just 'cause you're troubled
Then don't bring your troubles to me
 

I don't think it's funny
When you ask for money and things
Specially when you're standing there
Wearing diamonds and rings
 
 

You think I'm soft in the head
But try someone softer instead, pretty thing
It's not so funny when you know what money can bring
 

You'd better leave me alone
I don't need a thing for you
You'd better take yourself home
Go and count a ring or two
 
 

If you've got troubles
Then you've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
 
 

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just 'cause you're trouble
Then don't bring your troubles to me

Just 'cause you're trouble
Then don't bring your troubles to me


Two Wars

É uma música original da Sgt. Pepper's Band que esperamos que seja digna de figurar entre estas pérolas dos Beatles.
 
 

He can't understand what's going on there
A poor little kid who watches the war
And not even time will heal the wounds
Or wipe off the scars deep in his soul
There should be some reason
For all the pain of the world that he sees outside
 

A long way from there, across the ocean
Little boys live a different war
Hunger kills more than a thousand guns
And silence still talks through those sad looks
That comes from the windows
Angel's tears dropping down all in vain, oh Lord
 
 

There's more than you can do
Than to turn your back on them and pray, oh no !
Would be the same if it was your son instead of them
Nowhere to go / We're lost in a jungle
 

Love can do more than a thousand words
By making the sound of children's joy
Come out of those windows
Angel's tears dropping down all in vain, no more
 

There's more than you can do
Than to turn your back on them and pray, oh oh !
Would you do the same if it was your son instead of them, oh oh !
Love is all we need if we're bound to change their lives someday
Some place to go / Out of this jungle
