Pandora_33 все записи автора To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, a number of bands joined a project to re-record the album using original equipment and recording techniques in the legendary Abbey Road studios in St John's Wood, west London, for a Radio 2 show. Among those musicians taking part are Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, The Zutons, Travis and Pete and Carlos (recording a cover of A Day in the Life) - see pictures below posted by Grrrrr on the official Libertines forum.

So how did this fascinating little collaboration come about? Pete explains: "I heard about it [the project] and thought this would be a great thing to do with Carl, so I called him up and left a message, so at least I could say I called him - you know, let bygones, auld lang syne and everything. He never called me back, but then he did and he thought it was a great idea, so here we are. I think A Day In The Life is the best song on the album. Sgt Pepper is one of my favorite albums. In the mists of all the trite commercial pap and soulless generic crap, some things strike you down dead when you first hear it and this album is one of those things. It just sucked me in and I decided I wanted to be in The Beatles." Carl added: "I listened to it first when I was nine and I stole my dad's cassette and listened to it over and over. I just listened to it incessantly. We're just working out how to do the John and Paul bits." It's the first time Pete and Carl have recorded together in the same studio since the last Libertines album in 2004. The results of Pete and Carl's collaboration will be broadcast on Radio 2 tonight at 8pm. See NME for more details.
