Sgt. Pepper as Pet Sounds cover

     It is well known that Paul McCartney was influenced to make the Sgt. Pepper album after hearing the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. What if the influence carried over to the cover design? This cheeky post is in honour of Brian Wilson.

The Beatles - Everest 1970

        Many a person on the internet has come up with "what if The Beatles stayed together" so I was going to avoid this. Years ago, a co-worker and I talked about this idea and, dog gone it, it keeps going through my head, so here we are. Everest was what Abbey Road was going to be called. Since they didn't use it then I figured they could use it on their next album. John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band  from 1970 has Ringo on drums.

Pink Floyd Radio K.A.O.S. 1987

       This post is similar to the Genesis album I put together last November. Roger Waters left Pink Floyd to become a solo act. David Gilmour took the role of leader and the band continued. Feel free to make any comparisons between Roger Waters and Petere Gabriel. To put Waters back into Pink Floyd I chose "Home" and "The Tide Is Turning" from Waters' 1987 album Radio K.A.O.S. as well as "Going to Live in L.A.", the b-side of "Radio Waves" and "Get Back to Radio", the b-side to "Sunset Strip". From Pink Floyd's 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason I pulled "Signs of Life", "Learning to Fly", "One Slip", "On the Turning Away" and "A New Machine parts 1 and 2". https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFcUf9F4Qc6b5W1gJTDYiYE&si=XraQwYeblpbx_Jm_
